In a prime position on the busy Earl’s Court Road, the Prince of Teck is a haven from the outside world, come rain or shine.

The Venue
Recently renovated and just a short stroll from bustling Earl’s Court station, the Prince of Teck has an inviting exterior with an attractive sign and large windows allowing you to see in from all sides. Inside you’ll find stripped back wooden floors, chunky wooden tables and a mixture of chairs and stools. The bar area takes up most of the back of the room, with large mirrors adorning the walls and a huge fireplace to the back of the room. Upstairs is another large room, with its own separate bar and more restaurant-style seating. This area is ideal for a private party, and is often booked up for everything from big family dinners to corporate lunches.

The Atmosphere
The interior, with its large windows and floods of natural light, is bright and airy for summer days, but equally as warm and cosy for chilly winter nights. The place is likely to be bustling from early evening and throughout the night, with a mixture of chattering drinkers and diners enjoying the food. Staff are helpful and friendly, and are happy to advise you on the menu if you’re struggling to choose what to eat or drink.

The Food
A list of pub favourites sits alongside more inventive dishes with an aim to please everyone, and the food is certainly a cut above your usual pub grub. Try a rustic, incredibly well presented starter of bruschetta topped with black olive and shallot puree, Parma ham and rocket (£4.50), or the moreish hummus with grilled chorizo and flatbread (£5.50) – this would easily be big enough for a snack to cure hunger pangs, to share between two, or just for one if you like substantial starters.

Specials that change daily give the chef a chance to show off his talent – expect dishes such as Asian-style fish stew (£8.50) with a mix of perfectly cooked fish and shellfish in a creamy, slightly spicy sauce served with rice – or, if you can’t resist a classic, go for bangers and mash (£8.50) with fat, juicy pork and leek sausages on a huge bed of creamy mashed potato and plenty of onion gravy. Mouthwatering desserts include sticky date pudding with caramel sauce and ice cream (£4.90), so make sure you leave some room.

The Drink
Keen to lean towards the stylish bar-restaurant style of things, there’s a good wine list including bottles from Italy, Chile, France and New Zealand, to name a few. The house red is easy drinking – a French Les Acrobates grenache/merlot – at £14.80 a bottle, £4.90 a large glass and £3.80 for a small; house white is priced exactly the same. However, if beer is your thing, never fear: there’s a large range on tap and bottled, including Foster’s, London Pride, San Miguel, Heineken and Guinness.

The Last Word
A pub that manages to be spacious and still cosy, with a good range of drinks and some really well-cooked food, the Prince of Teck is a top place to try whether you’re in the area for an exhibition, or fancy making a special effort to visit.
