Prince Arthur in Hackney

Lovely pub, friendly staff but the food is overpriced and the portions tiny. £15 for a few pumpkin agnolottis - sort of raviolis - is indeed difficult to digest. After diner we went home to cook a meal.Good for a drink but stay away from the food.

Came here with a few friends the other day and we basically ended up ordering the entire menu. Probably the most fun I’ve had in a restaurant for ages - everything was crazy from top to bottom but some of the superstars were the smoked carrots with grilled cream and the skrei cod. Got to chat to some of the chefs as well who were really cool sound guys and all the waiters and bartenders were really friendly too. Start with a round of the hot sauce oysters - you literally can’t go wrong.

Went here with my partner on Friday 11 Feb 2022. Had really high hopes but didn’t really enjoy the experience. The food was really inconsistent. We found the portions of some of the items quite small, poorly executed and with a high price point. Some of the menu options weren’t available which, although annoying, I don’t usually begrudge. However, we weren’t told items had run out so we placed our order and it wasn’t until the food was coming out that we were told that things we ordered had run out. We ended up ordering the bread again because we were still hungry. Overall, the pub environment is quite nice and there are some good beers on tap but the Hot4U food was average and the service was a bit sloppy.

Nice pub but rather disappointed by the food. My husband has been following the Hot 4 U chef story through covid and has been dying to come here. We came for Sunday roast and ordered the mussels in XO sauce to start. I personally wasn’t a fan of the sauce (didn’t really taste like XO sauce) but the real issues was the mussels themselves as they were stuck to the shells and near impossible to eat. Not sure what was going on as have never seen mussels do that before.For mains my husband ordered the beef topside and I ordered the pancetta. The beef was good however the pork was incredibly salty, almost inedible (although my hubby still managed to polish most of mine off!) Sides considered of roast potatoes (lovely and crispy), mixed greens, carrots and celeriac purée plus gravy and a Yorkie.Very underwhelmed but hey maybe we caught them on an off day

Always loved this pub but the staff at the moment make it 5 stars. Bowled in last night and knocked my wine over and they were total relaxed babetowns. Best atmosphere and food is excellent

We’ve had a lovely experience. The staff has mastered kindness to an extend that we’ve never felt more welcome.Dog-friendly pub where owners don’t mind their pets roaming among the guests. And guests love the pets as well.Love,ze Germans.

A lovely pub! Really friendly staff and amazing food - so much better than typical pub grub. An all round nice atmosphere, will definitely be coming back when we're in the area again!

Very nice back street pub, friendly staff, always been good, been coming here on and off for last 30 years under different managements, was a regular when it was Lady Diana when run by Alan and Dora. Would have given 5 stars if music wasn't all hip hop. Would have stayed longer if music was better.

Good beers and a nice atmosphere, current food menu is a little bit "fancy Dan", £8 for fried potato and some dip leaves a fishy taste in the mouth. You certainly can't be pigging out on the food when it's £18 for a small pork dish. But for 2021 London Fields dining it ticks a few boxes, can't fault the taste but don't get greedy on those menu prices Arthur!

The Prince Arthur is a fantastic pub, especially for those Sunday gatherings with your family & children, or a recovery Sunday morning after the night before with friends.It's a traditional looking pub, with all the add ons of a "gastropub".The bar is stocked wisely with a fine selection of beers, craft beers, and spirits.The staff, are friendly and welcoming.But the selling point for me is the cracking Sunday roast these guys cook up! You could argue a little on the pricey side, but servings are more than acceptable.I would stress to avoid disappointment you must aim to book, and ideally get the food in before 2/3pm latest, as on a couple occasions they've run out of various bits that accompany your roast.Defo a must visit.
