The Princess of Wales is a restored Victorian gastropub at 22 Chalcot Road in Primrose Hill. Spread over three floors, it includes a first floor dining room, a lower floor bar and event space, and a courtyard known as the Banksy Garden after a lion stencil appeared there in 2011. Families and dogs are welcome for everything from a quiet lunch to a private celebration.
Bar snacks and smaller plates include Padron peppers, mixed olives, spicy chicken wings, tomato and Manchego croquettes, seasonal soup and calamari with a squid ink and mirin aioli. Baked Camembert in pizza dough is designed for sharing, while an antipasti board gathers salami, Parma ham, olives, capers, halloumi and mozzarella for a larger table.
Main dishes move from pizza and chicken Caesar salad to slowly braised beef cheek with mash and seasonal greens. A plant based burger and a creamy broccoli and kale risotto provide substantial vegan choices. On Sundays, sirloin beef, crisp pork belly and a vegetable Wellington are served with the traditional roast accompaniments, and weekend brunch adds another reason to visit earlier in the day.
Desserts include filled doughnuts, dark chocolate brownie, apple and pecan crumble, tiramisu and a cheese selection. The bar pours its own house lager, stout and cask ale alongside wine from Bibendum and a broad cocktail list. Regular offers, flexible private rooms and the garden give the pub a social identity that extends well beyond the dining menu.
