Prince of Peckham

🚇 Peckham Rye 🍺 £5.80 Amstel The Prince of Peckham is located just off bustling Peckham High Street in Southeast London. The nearest station is Peckham Rye on the Windrush Line. This pub was originally called The Clayton Arms, built in 1867, then rebuilt in the 1930’s. The Prince of Peckham came to be in 2017 and is named after Lee ‘The Peckham Prince’ Stanley from the 90’s TV show “Desmonds”. The exterior of the pub is clad in beautiful glazed tiles and the stonework is painted burnt orange. On the right hand wall of the pub is a large mural by @mrcenzone which changes from time to time. This is a good size pub where the decor is traditional at heart with some contemporary touches here and there. The servery is centrally located and is also clad in glazed green tiles like the exterior. To the right of the servery is a hatch that leads to the kitchen. The seating is a mix of traditional tables and chairs, poser tables and comfy Chesterfields. There are some nice features dotted around the bar which add a touch of style to mix with the traditional pub decor. There are four other rooms at the pub which are available for private hire, I had a little peek in to the Terracotta Room which has stunning stained glass windows. There is outside terrace with benches to the left of the pub. The beer selection is all keg with a selection of mainstream brands and some local brews from @brixtonbrewery . I kept it simple and ordered an Amstel, my pint was great, price point was less than average. The food is by @whitemencantjerk who serve up a variety of Jerk Chicken and comfort food dishes, we were feeling peckish, so we thought we try the Jerk Chicken. We thoroughly enjoyed our food, it was flavourful and had a nice kick, £14.95 all in. We arrived around 7pm on warm Saturday evening in July. The pub was absolutely packed with an upbeat, vibrant and lively atmosphere. The punters were a mix of all ages with a 70/30 split of drinkers to diners. The service was friendly, the team member who served us was welcoming and courteous. Peckham has seen numerous pub closures over the years, so it was great to see this pub in full swing and thriving. We loved the vibrant atmosphere, the beer offering was good, the service friendly and we will definitely be back for more Jerk Chicken. The @princeofpeckham has got it going on! 📅 27th July 2024 More London Pub info @londonpubmap 🍻

We had a delicious Caribbean lunch this Sunday at the Prince of Peckham. We ordered wings, Jerk chicken meals and mac and cheese. My son (10) ordered a Jerk chicken burger that he really enjoyed! We loved the little sauces that came with the meals and the rice and peas was amazing! It had a lovely hint of coconut… really lovely! The staff was very nice too! We will definitely be back!

The food was mediocre maybe I was expecting too much. Proportions were small the rice tasted like it had been warmed up yet the food was lukewarm the coleslaw didn’t have sauce so just tasted like sliced cabbage. The sauces was nice and to be honest I only ate the food because I was hungry and had wasted £16 on it. The happy hour cocktails aren’t great, needs more variety and at least one classic cocktail we all know and love! The atmosphere was nice although some music outside would be appreciated. The staff are lovely, polite and friendly they bring your food out but you have to order at the bar and everytime you order you pay service charge. The security are a bit of eye candy but apart from that I wouldn’t be in a rush to go back.
