We were delighted that Clem Ogbonnaya, licensee of the Prince of Peckham, welcomed another Prince...Prince William! His Royal Highness stopped by to see first-hand the role pubs play at the heart of local communities.
There were no crowns required at the door - just a warm welcome and a great pint of Red Stripe.
During his visit, HRH shared: “I love pubs. I want to do as much as I can to support pubs because I love the community.”
Following the visit, Clem said: “We’ve welcomed a lot of characters through our doors, but hosting a real Prince was a first. What mattered most, though, was sharing what makes pubs special - good people, good vibes, and a proper pint.”
And that really says it all.
Because at their best, pubs aren’t just places to drink, they’re where communities come together, conversations flow, and everyone feels at home.
A brilliant visit, a proud moment for our Star Pubs, and a reminder of what pubs do best.
