The Prince Alfred is a Grade II listed Victorian pub and dining room at 5A Formosa Street in Maida Vale. Original etched glass, mosaic tiles and distinctive snob screens give the bar historic character, while the adjoining dining space accommodates relaxed meals and private occasions.
The kitchen works with seasonal British ingredients and rotating specials. Starters can include seafood, terrines, burrata and vegetable dishes, while sharing boards and baked cheese give groups an easy way to begin a meal together.
Pub classics sit beside more elaborate mains, with fish and chips, sausages and mash, burgers, shepherd’s pie and steaks represented on the current menu. A plant based pie provides a substantial alternative, and Sunday service is centred on traditional roasts and their accompaniments.
Cask ale, wine, cocktails and spritzes support both bar visits and dining, with puddings available for a longer meal. Guests with allergies should use the latest menu information and speak with staff before ordering because dishes and provenance change with the seasons.
