Prince Arthur

Do not buy their roast!
Burned yorkshire puddings, beef that hadn’t been near an oven, baby potatoes rather than roasted, and to top it off, a portion of iceburg lettuce drowned in salad dressing.
Who in their right mind puts salad with a roast?

We stopped in here after finishing up at Hint Hunt next door because we were thirsty and ready for a drink! So we got some drinks.
My partner and I both got a pint and a glass of water. They were both disgusting. Yes, a glass of water. It tasted like chlorinated detergent. Obviously their dishwasher is terrible as some of the residue must have stuck to the side of the glass. The pints were also pretty bad, my partner didn’t even drink his.

We grabbed a drink at this pub while waiting for space in a nearby restaurant.
There were seats in the garden and we happily grabbed a table. Everyone enjoyed their pints and the prices seemed fine enough. For a pub near a big station on a Friday night, it wasn’t packed and that’s good enough for me!

This is a great pub – good beer, very nice servers, very comfortable and quiet. If you want loud crowds, just go down the street to the Euston Tap or the Eagle. This is a good place for a contemplative pint of Landlord. Never had the food.

Sometimes you’re in the mood for a nice, quiet weekend. And then you get to Sunday morning and you’re bored. Cue spontaneous texting of friends to meet for a relaxed pub lunch. Prince Arthur seemed like a good spot, central to our mix of friends and helpful for Euston station since one friend was travelling that afternoon. Also the promise of Sunday roast seemed very tempting indeed, especially with beef on the menu!
Nice pub, small but decorated well inside with a relaxed feel. We turned up at 1pm and it was dead however, not great for pub atmosphere. But at least you get a good table! Up to the bar to order and of course roast had run out… How? There was noone in the place! They must have had maximum 5 portions. Back to the drawing board, but the menu looked nice.
I went for a chicken with goats cheese and apricots, accompanied by couscous and sweet potato — ooh Middle Eastern feel! Settled down for drinks and chatting before slowly smelling something burning from the kitchens in the back. Not a good start.
But the food came out with no obvious signs of chargrilling, my chicken was a bit black on top but very tasty. Qualm here is the price, £11 for that is not great. Definitely this place has down a sneaky price raise for the travellers coming out of Euston. Pricey drinks too, I expect a bit of change from a tenner for 2 pints.
Disappointingly overpriced, all in all. Shame. Also, rubbish toilets!

Terrible food, crap service. One extra point for selling decent ale.

Yet another pub which is all right.
The décor is ok, the booze reasonably priced (for central London), there’s a decent number of outside tables (even if you are next to a main road).
There’s also a tempting list of bar snacks on the wall. The sweet potato wedges I would recommend highly. As I would the nachos, but really, how hard is it to get nachos wrong?
What did rather baffle me was the baked Camembert. Also hard to get wrong. Yet it was brought out only half cooked and with no cranberry sauce. Madness.
And shows a massive lack of thought on their part.
–edit–
I went back recently (Dec 2011) and it is no better. The food is rubbish. The roast beef was dry and chewy and barely edible. The yorkshire puddings could be mistaken for portabello mushrooms burnt and flat. The chips were too few, the food was lukewarm and the steak came without steak knives.
The cider choice is also poor, only Strongbow and Magners and both are rubbish.

I suppose it was sod’s law that when visiting a pub that proudly boasts of its service on its website:
, that when you decide to visit the service will be pretty bad. There were 3 workers buzzing around, but only one seemed to be serving drinks and she did not appreciate being asked to top up a pint after leaving an inch of foam at the top. I understand that they had a private party later in the evening so I guess they were busybut if they can’t live up to their promises. There was no mention of serving us at our tables either.
This was a shame as the pub looks really nice and serves some decent real ale (and the food menu looks quite decent and reasonable too), but a bad service experience tends to the overriding memory that you take away with you from a pub, especially when that pub highlights that as its strength. I won’t go out of my way to come back.

Beautiful Garden! The best pub on a beautiful spring day. Sit outside and open a bottle of white wine, and you’ll be in heaven. Inside it’s a gorgeous old pub, with an interesting clientele. Occasionally you’ll see Chris Martin pushing a pram with a proud smile on his face.

Solid.
Like the roaring fire, the table service and the bar menu. Décor was interesting, demonstrating an almost charming preoccupation with the female form.
Not sure about how they’re keeping their beer though, as a number of our party were sniffing and sipping suspiciously at their pints.

I wasn’t especially thrilled with this pub. I went with a group of friends and the staff were a bit gruff with us despite the numerous trips to the bar.
The atmosphere was interesting, though. Mostly full of people stopping by for a quick one before heading to Euston, so it empties out on the early side. And the wall are covered in erotic art, for reasons no one could explain to us (maybe that was why they were so gruff?). Still, cheap drinks and quieter than any on Camden High Street.

I had a Jack the Ripper themed party here last year and it was absolutely brilliant. Basically, they will let you have a party here for free so long as you can guarantee forty guests, which is excellent for central London! The Thai food, bar staff and drinks were all great and we couldn’t fault them at all. Everyone there had a brilliant time!
The décor is really nice as well and it has a cosy but arty feel, which is nice.
I would really recommend it to anyone who wants a cheap but fab party venue in London.

Went with a few friends and one found a fly in their drink and another a hair in their meal. The food price is cheap but they need to be more hygenic and friendly. If they improve, would be a great place to eat as décor is nice.

I absolutely love this pub, not only because it’s a pretty decent ‘Old man’s’ pub, but because it cooks really good Thai cuisine. This includes phad thais and really creamy curries, which will make you want to gobble it up so fast you’ll be licking the plate clean. Also, the main courses start at £5, which is even better. However, when I say ‘Old man’s’ pub, I mean it! It’s not an understatement, so if you visit during the week for a Thai lunch, don’t be surprised if a troop of twenty 60+ year old elderlies come in. What’s grand about this pub is that it encompasses everything you expect from an ol’ traditional English pub such as the random gothic paintings, wooden furnishings and wooden bar. Also, an added bonus, the lovely waitresses are always lovely. Wow, just writing about it is making me hungry. Check out their website and have a look at their yummy menu.
