Nice beer shame no food any more as it has become a craft union pub nice polite staff

August 26, 2024

I recently visited the Prince of Wales and was extremely disappointed. The new owners have managed to make the place worse than it was before. The manager is downright rude, even telling patrons to "find another pub" if they're not happy. The toilets were filthy and had a terrible smell. To top it off, they switched off the football for karaoke on a Sunday afternoon-completely ruining the atmosphere. Drinks are overpriced too. I won't be returning.

We had a ok time, but waited over an 1 hour for food only 2 members of staff working it wasn’t that busy.. seem like our food was waiting in the lift a little while as the hot wasn’t hot! Also the cod looked like a big fish finger. When I have come here before the cod was bigger

Very clean pud with many choices of beer and lagers. There is also a very good menu with choice’s. Mixed Grill £9.99 it has Rump Steak and Gammon Steak with Chicken Breast and Cumberland sausage with fried egg and Chips and peas. 😂 Also very good for watching sports.

Travelling for work so did not know the area and this place came up on Google and was a 2 min walk from my hotel. I came here for my evening meal, I order a pint of Stella and a mixed grill. When the lady at the bar said the total I thought o God let's see how this is... the price was what I found to be was very cheap £13.29 for both the food and drink #bargin. Food came promptly and was of a good portion. The steak was cooked to how I asked and the rest of the food was lovely, I was surprised given the cost. The only reason I did not give full marks lol was I could of done with more mayo and I am sure if I'd of asked I would of been given some and the peas just slightly hard, others will love them like that. Would I eat here again ?? Yes, most definitely.

Was okay. The bartender who served us our drinks and food was friendly, they had a few vegan options but it wasn't the best. The vegan Shepard pie was nice but the pie and nuggets we're hard. My boyfriend struggled to cut through the pie crust that much that the table was shaking from having to dig in and carve it. I don't know if they were a bit overcooked or hadn't been defrosted properly, but they were a struggle for the people I was with to eat. I've been asked to also add that the nuggets came with sauce and veg already on it and was suggested that those be served separately instead. One of our party members doesn't like sauce so wasn't very pleased to have it over their food. Some people are picky eaters and others can't eat certain foods/condiments. The food looked good and was well presented, though. Also, the vegan apple pie and custard was lovely and well enjoyed.

Well as you walk in your hit with a stank of old man, im a man myself but most men that drink here either have pissed themselves or havent washed in a very long time, smell of stale beer in certain parts of the pub, but on the upside nice garden area with booths with televisons on the walls makes a good viewing spot for sports.

Went there on sunday , ordered a drink via there app , took my money and didnt place order , spoke to some lady that works there , might aswell said im a liar , showed her it took money and told her the order , she checked and came back said theres no order , re mentioned money was taken and asked if i cant just get it seeing as i paid , instead of helping and suggesting what i do or even the slightest shred of caring , she went inside and to the bar and didnt come back but came out to the cellar on odd occasion . Am going through there app for a refund either way its shocking how she acts ( oldish lady with blonde hair , never looked happy to be there )
