  I was looking for a pub near primrose hill to go to after our weekly softball game. We needed a place which had the kitchen open till 10. The food is good and the drinks were amazing. There is plenty of space. And we got 20% off for softball!

  As everything is in primrose hill all is calm and well at this venue. A lovely pub with homely decor – a fair selection of beers however the food here is the main reason to keep coming back. The meats in particular are cooked very well and packed with flavour, great for a Sunday roast.

  The Princess of Wales is a delightful gastro pub. I find that pubs guarantee a square, filling meal, which one cannot guarantee with a restaurant. On this level the PoW did not disappoint.Sitting in their charmingly decorated beer garden, replete with mirrors, I enjoyed an enormous burger, with good quality steak, a large mushroom, and bacon. I’d be worried about my cholesterol , if I actually knew what it was! I like stilton so I didn’t find it too hefty, though some might find it overpowers the beef a little. Does serving a sandwich so large that must be dismantled before eating it, negate the effect of trying to mix those flavours in the first place, I wonder?Was also served with onion rings. Here the batter was flat and lacking crunch, and the onion pieces themselves a little small to make an impact. Perhaps make the segments larger and add bicarbonate of soda to the mix? We shared a quality mix of ice-cream and sorbet for dessert.

  Had an OK lunch here the other day. Good meeting spot and outside tables for the sunny weather.Started with some cut bread with balsamic and olive oil, which the chef whipped up as there wasn’t really anything to order as a starter from their lunch menu. The bread, though, inexplicably had been toasted and was too crisp to soak up the oil/vinegar. Not great for a simple dish.My colleague then ordered the fish and chips and I had fried sea bass fillets and new potatoes from the chalk board daily specials.The battered fish looked and tasted good, but the chips (fries) were pretty ordinary.While my sea bass was tasty and came served with a mild sauce and some vegetables, it looked quite drab and workmanlike.We then had salted caramel ice cream on a chocolate brownie, which was really nice and a good combination of tastes.Overall, the service was good and attentive though, the decor modern rustic and the setting conveniently located a few blocks from Chalk Farm Tube.The meal with two drinks apiece came to a flat 50.

  Visited the place in April 2013 as part of groupon offer (4 cocktails for 10). Although limited menu but good for a pub for a nice time out with friends.Quality food and nice crowd.Tucked in a very nice area. If visiting for lunch, dont forget to njoy a nice walk in hamstead heath.

  Great little pub in primrose hill. Food is good, pub classics but served at a gastro level. Can’t really go wrong with one of the burgers.Unfortunately the day we went was the final day of a group on voucher so the queues were a bit crazy as too was the race for seating but on another evening i am sure it will be fine.There is ample space outside for when (if) the sun comes out as well as aditional space up and downstairs. The main bar area isn’t that big so getting a seat in order to have food can be a pain. londoncurryblog.com
