Randomness Guide to London - Differences between Version 13 and Version 12 of Prince Arthur, E8 3BH

Another new pub for the area around London Fields is the Prince Arthur, which is a venture from the people behind a number of other quality London gastropubs (such as The Gun in Docklands, and The Empress of India near Victoria Park).

On my visit shortly after work, the pub was fairly quiet, but this is no doubt due to its location on a residential street just north of London Fields park: at other times I've been past (for example, a Sunday afternoon), it's been completely packed. The bar is opposite the main entrance, with the spaces for seating stretched around to either side. The place is cozy, tastefully appointed with plenty of wood, and has friendly bar staff.

Undoubtedly one of the strengths of the pub will be its food. Although I wasn't able to sample anything on my brief visit, if the quality of the food at its sister pubs is any indication, it will surely be worth visiting sometime for a meal. Mains range from £10 upwards; they do a Sunday roast (including nut roast option) for £12.50.

There is a small well-selected range of draught beers, including an offering from the Meantime brewery and a very well-kept pint of Deuchars for £2.60.
