"We started our meal by arriving at 6pm, a VERY quiet time in the restaurant, meaning zero atmosphere. With no music, we were whispering as if we were in a library. Nice enough staff, we laughed at if I should have been offended at the waiter asking if I’d asked for “free” mains, when in fact I asked if we could have “three” mains between two people. My dinner mate said the waiter must think I’m a right chav for dropping my “th’s”. But on reflection, he was harmless and meant nothing by it, it became a bit of a running joke till the end of the meal. Starters were nice, crab crumpet and veal tartare, but very small. Mains, we had lamb, beef, and chicken. Let’s start with my chicken, it was pretty nice, no real complaints there(although I couldn’t get any chicken glaze from the brioche served with the dish, it was just a bit dry, but good for mopping up the sauce . My friend had lamb, the flavours were good, but his was all but cold. We agreed both plates were cold too, I think it can have a dramatic effect on how much a dish rapidly cools. My chicken wasn’t cold, but I wouldn’t want it much colder for sure. The beef was the “third” dish we shared, the beef wasn’t overly tender, the brisket(not sure exactly what cut style bit on the side very dry, the capers added nothing, and broadly the whole dish was under-seasoned. Quite underwhelming actually. The two most expensive dishes cold or underwhelming. We were however, overwhelmed by the cabbage side. Full of flavour, the topping was nice and umami, and without it, we may have felt a bit aggrieved at the mains(we did in hindsight to be fair . To be honest, we felt aggrieved at £135 for two starters, three mains, no alcohol(we both don’t drink . I had a £5.50 lemon bitter mocktail, which was nice. It’s a lot of money for this experience. I can eat so handsomely in say, Duck Soup Soho, or The Eagle Farringdon(in fact we had 1 starter, three mains at The Eagle a couple of weeks prior, for £70 for two!! . All very different dining experiences, but so satisfying at the latter two! I wouldn’t say The Princess is bad, it’s just not really that great an experience. We agreed it might be a great place to take someone on a date who doesn’t know a great deal about food, and who doesn’t eat a lot. It would really impress them. I can just think about many better places to go for food quality, cooking, atmosphere, and value for money. I’ll happily pay into the hundreds, it’s just got to tick more boxes than this did this evening."

Ok let's go for.... Visited the Princess of Shoreditch on Monday for lunchtime. The service was lovely and the person serving us was very helpful. The drink options were great but the real standout was the food. Some of the best food we have had in ages and felt Michelin star quality. Will definitely be returning and would 100% recommend.

This is definitely on the pricier side for a roast so if you're looking to save a bit of money, perhaps not here, but the actual roast was phenomenal. I wouldn't order the cauliflower cheese again as I felt it lacked flavor. The yorkshire pudding was great as was the lemon tart, one of the best lemon desserts I've had. Staff was very friendly, it's also easy to make reservations online.

Food was lovely and reasonable priced. Service was great. We were too full after starters and mains to try the puddings on the Sunday lunch menu. The 4 stars not 5 was due to a very small jug of gravy between two. We had huge Yorkshire puddings that really would have benefited from more gravy. Main issue though us the upstairs room where we were sat was extremely echoing. There is real need for a few soft furnishings, maybe curtains. Customers had very raised voices to be heard over one another. View menu

We had been to the Princess of Shoreditch before and had a good experience. We were doubly tempted this time by the 50% off food (for up to 4 Summer Offer which was a promotion for the arrival of a new chef. The experience was really nice. So late August, on a Friday evening, was not too busy. Our party was 7 to celebrate a birthday. The atmosphere was relaxed, the staff were terrific attentive, knowledgeable, helpful and prompt. The food was excellent with some really nice flavors. Cauliflower and crab crumpet starters were delicious, the bread box a different presentation and full of options. My lamb main course was very tender and full of flavor. The wine list offered many options but for...

My partner and I had a wonderful meal at The Princess of Shoreditch this evening. The food was absolutely delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. For starters, I had the Dorset crab crumpet, which was perfectly cooked crab on a light and fluffy crumpet. The pickled peaches and lime added a nice touch of acidity and sweetness. My partner had the beef tartare, which was incredibly tender and flavorful. The truffle custard and watercress were the perfect accompaniments. For our main course, we both had the Yorkshire lamb rump, which was cooked to perfection. The lamb was so tender that it melted in our mouths. The crushed green herbs, cauliflower, and lam...
