The Princess of Shoreditch

I have been several times to the pub, on the ground floor of the Princess but have never tried the restaurant upstairs. The pub has a very relaxed atmosphere, with a beautiful bar, grey/green walls and high ceilings. I would like to decorate my dining room (if I had one) like the pub at the Princess of Shoreditch. The Princess serves gastropub classics (pie of the day, sausage and mash, fish and chips...) including a delicious rib on the bone.

For starter, a pint of pear cider.


Then, pig cheeks melting in the mouth. I personally love pig and beef cheeks but don't know where to buy them. Anyone has a tip?

And delicious braised venison in a thick sauce. Not a light meal though, with the puff pastry and the vegs being wrapped in bacon and deep-fried...

Beef burger with white truffle mayo, foie gras, and hand cut chips
Desserts were not memorable and we ordered the usual suspects, a chocolate fondant and a Crème brulée that was too thick to my taste.
