The pub closed in Feb 2022 and reopned in June 2022 as The Tamil Prince. "Former Roti King executive chef Prince Durairaj and operations director Glen Leeson, who last year launched south Indian street food concept Tamila in Hackney, have launched their joint pub venture. The duo have reopened The Cuckoo, a 19th century pub in Islington’s Hemingford Road, as The Tamil Prince, again offering south Indian cuisine. " Drinkers only are welcome.
