We never got round to this one in its previous incarnation as the Black Widow. Then it was part of the Eerie Pub chain - all mock horror furnishings, a mix of Castle Dracula, Frankenstein's laboratory and Halloween night in a Students' Union. From ghostly to gastro then, as a more refined atmosphere awaits in the Prince Regent: out went the cocktails in test-tubes and in came a lengthy wine list. As for the food, the menu showed a couple of deviations from gastro norms, the usual Thai fishcakes making way for dishes like a Spanish charcuterie platter. Shame then, that the originality isn't carried over into the décor - the standard gastro refit is in operation, all hardwood floors and duck egg blue walls. As gastropubs go, there's nothing much wrong. It all just rather feels too familiar, with no real surprises behind the bar. It's a formula though, that looks a winner, and when we last popped in, this was one of the busiest venues on Gloucester Road (though most punters appeared to be here for the food).
