About This Pub
Ah, The Prince Regent in Herne Hill – what a lovely spot it is for a casual get-together or a bite after a stroll in Brockwell Park. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the staff really stand out; they're warm and attentive, making every visit feel like you're among friends, which is just what you want from a good pub. The food menu is a winner too – think hearty Sunday roasts that folks rave about, along with daily specials that mix classic pub grub with a few more inventive twists, all at prices that feel fair and accessible. Events like the pub quiz on Tuesdays or steak nights add that extra layer of fun, keeping things lively without overwhelming the relaxed atmosphere. It's open most days with flexible hours, so popping in for a quick drink or a meal is a breeze. But, to keep it real, if you're after top-notch vegan choices, it might not quite deliver; some have mentioned underwhelming options that don't match the rest of the offerings, which is a shame but something to bear in mind. Overall, it's a solid choice for enjoying a pint and some good nosh in a welcoming setting – I'd say give it a go if you're in the area, just maybe stick to the non-vegan picks for now.

The staff of The Prince Regent is another reason why you want to come back here again and again. They don't just serve, they create an atmosphere of hospitality and cordiality. It feels like you've known them forever.
All the food we ate here was really good! Especially the arancini and fishcake. It's typical pub food but there are also some more interesting options. We sat outside in the sun, not a pub garden but enough of a seating space to make the space enjoyable.
We came in yesterday for Sunday roast and to celebrate a birthday. The food was once again lovely. Great quality for price and last but not least the staff is incredibly kind and resourceful. Keep it up and looking forward to coming back soon!

The Prince Regent is located opposite Brockwell Park in the leafy South London suburb of Herne Hill. The nearest station is Herne Hill mainline, it’s a five minute walk to get here.
This Victorian corner pub was built in the mid-nineteenth century and was once a Truman’s house. The pub has an elaborate exterior including a statue of the Prince Regent.
This is a one bar pub with a good sized bar with a dining area behind a wood and etched glass partition. The decor is traditional with lots of timber fixtures and fittings. The servery is centrally located and has a decorative gantry. There is plenty of seating throughout the, I loved sturdy pews. Around the walls are a number of historical pictures, a couple of TV’s and a handsome Truman's mirror. At the front of the pub there are a dozen or so benches shaded by parasols.
The beer selection consists of well known tipples and included one cask. I decided on a Cruzcampo, my pint hit the spot, price point was average. The food menu is pub classics, the specials offered more adventurous dishes, Fish & Chips costs £15.95, Roasts are available Sundays.
I arrived just before 12pm on a sunny Saturday lunchtime in September. The pub was not long opened so I had the pub to myself. The service was pleasant, I was served by friendly chap who was welcoming. There was a nice ambiance to the pub which had a laidback local feel.
This was my first pub on a crawl around Herne Hill and what a great start. I loved the unique architecture of the pub, the traditional interior and local pub feel. My pint was decent and not overly priced. @theprincetegentse24 is a solid all-rounder and well worth your patronage.
ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 21.09.24
Staff and vibe are lovely, but oh man the vegan food is bad. I saw 2-3 options and thought “oh, that’s good, they know what they’re doing.” The burger arrived literally as a dry blob in a bun. Not a hint of even salad or sauce. The ‘steak’ looked like a chunky frozen job bought from Iceland for £1.20. I and the table beside me literally just described it as “sad, sorry looking food cooked with absolutely no love.” I felt like I’d been punished for ordering the vegan option. Please, please either cook it like you’re proud of your profession, or take it off the menu so we can get real food somewhere else. (Also thank you for being nice people, but please improve the food..)
