picture of Prince Regent
The last refit, a while ago now, put a fair bit of the Victorian charm back into this pub, albeit with a twist. Another pub in the growing portfolio of Mitchells and Butlers remodelled pubs, the Prince Regent's interior matches up fairy lights, frilly brollies and chandeliers with soft furnishings and dark wood walls. As with other M & B pubs, it heavily promotes continental beers though there are some good traditional English ales on tap too. The pub food is decent too - there's plenty of it and there's something for all appetites, but it doesn't dominate, like so it does in so many pubs nowadays. The overall effect of this one is of an elegant and swish drinking den, with the "Opium Lounge" taking this notion even further. Add live music and it shows that you can modernise a pub yet avoid turning it into a bare-boarded gastropub or an over-designed style bar. It works for us and, judging by its popularity it seems it also works for most other people around here.

Pretty decent, modern pub grub at a price you'd expect in these parts. Good service.

Oops! Prince Regent not Prince Albert!

Following on from my last post, I had exchanged the Kirin for a Peroni which was fine. My girlfriends Prosecco was also a little flat, although drinkable. Our second round was rather more disappointing, this time the Peroni contained half the gas as before and the Prosecco was totally flat after 10 minutes. In my experience the Prince Albert is a great place to socialize but for a good drink? I'll leave it down to you.

Expected much more from the Prince regent. Great location, good decor, good music made a good start. Ordered 2 rounds of drinks, A pint of Kirin and a glas of Prosecco. The beer was rather flat, when i complained the barman said that it was supposed to be like that. Having spent some time in Japan and visiting the Kirin brewery in Yokohama my experience of Kirin is rather different from the experience at the Prince Regent.

cracking little boozer just off the main drag so not full of tourists, decent beer and a good selection of continental beers as well, would recomend it as a great spot for a few vodka & tonics and watch the world bustle on by.

Not so great on the food. Finally ordered a steak sandwich as the best (or only) alternative and was sorry. Thick, tough, not good.
