Christmas Social, The Assembly Hall- Shoreditch Town Hall

Amazing food. And very accessible pricing for fine dining quality. Great menu with lots of exciting choices brilliantly executed. We tried many things across the menu to share around the table but some of us ended up reluctant to share! Started off with a good sign - unique yummy-wow bread (melty scones) and indulgent canapés/tasters. Highlights for me were the dreamy creamy artichoke dish, the lamb, the green beans with Stilton and caramelised onions and walnuts. Tried but couldn’t pick a fave desert, as they were all great - tart tatin with a tamarind twist so crunchy and perfect, wonderfully rich and aerated chocolate mousse topped with crunchy caramelised hazelnuts with financier on the side, and lovely light and refreshing rhubarb trifle. Really nice that the pub bit downstairs is dog friendly. Perfectly comfortable but decor downstairs not really congruent with the standout food - maybe that will come. Different vibe upstairs but no dogs. A great find and under-exposed gem of the Shoreditch foodie scene. Can’t wait to go back.

I had been wanting to try a Sunday roast menu in London for awhile and came across this place on Time Out. I was blown away by the quality of all the dishes and hospitality of the staff. I was dining solo and they made me feel very comfortable and not rushed. The menu was a good value and sticky toffee pudding was to die for! Loved this place so much I came back the next day with friends for after-dinner drinks and dessert. Looking forward to my next opportunity to visit when I come back to London!

I visited the princess last Thursday with two friends and it was absolutely amazing! It was their soft launch with their new chef Nikita previous winner of masterchef professionals and you can definitely tell by the delightful food. We were served by Elise and she made sure to give us the perfect service. We were given complimentary canopies and herb butter and scones, then started with the Beef and Oyster Tartare, Chaat and the Octopus to choose a favourite would be impossible as I was blown away by all three. For a main I had the Lamb and it was absolutely delicious. Than for dessert we had the trifle, Tarte Tatin and the Chocolate Choux Bun which I tried my best to finish even though I was stuffed. Overall an exceptional meal, Thank you Princess.
