Flamin' BBQ meat platter was delicious, all the elements were cooked to perfection but the stand out by far was the 7 hour slow cooked short rib, worth coming here just for that, absolutely outstanding, compliments the chef and the team !

I’ve changed my review from 5 stars of 3 years because I feel the place is not the same anymore. Twice in the last week and there’s been problems. Not taken order correctly and spending just over £10 for 3 cokes and you won’t fill the glass and I think it’s disgusting really and saying it’s because you’ve not got ice is a joke surely, I asked for a large glass of coke and not coke being watered down with half a glass of ice. Feel ripped off and when We Ordered mash for my son we got jacket potato, there was customers shouting at the bar because of there service when me and my children were trying to eat so we just didn’t bother to say anything as the staff were clearly struggling as it was. We eat out all the time and used to love the atmosphere food and service but staff have changed and it feels like there just doing a job and not thinking about the customer or service. I won’t try a 3rd time this month because it’s been twice now and spending over £50 each time to leave unhappy isn’t what I plan when I go out

Worst quality food Ive had in a long time, this pub used to do lovely steaks. The 32oz challenge rump used to be delicious. They only do a 24oz fondu steak now, which isnt a steak, its pieces of steak they say is cut to let you dip it, so you cant be sure if it was a steak to begin with and they clearly dont think you can use a steak knife! (Its not cut in front of you) The medium ribeye steak I ordered was 30% uncooked fat and gristle and 70% something else, the quality of the meat was terrible, it had been severely beaten with a tenderiser and had a lot of cuts in it where someone must have been checking the meat colour as it was cooking. Seems like the person cooking doesnt know how to cook steaks and/or the quality of the steak is so poor it doesnt cook like steak should. The hot plate was covered in sloppy wet onion pieces, which tainted the flavourless "ribeye" steak and it ended up tasting like hotdog. The peppercorn sauce was thin, curdled, lumpy and tasted acrid; half the peas were brown and the 8 or 9 chips I got tasted like the oil they were cooked in was very very old, even with vinegar on them. The pub was slightly busy, a football match was on tv, it was so loud you couldnt hear each other speak. Service was very basic, we were not asked if the food was ok or if we wanted dessert, I dont think anyone their cared either way. Honestly, youd be better off going to wetherspoons, as bad as they are, their food is better than here and cost less! Very dissapointed, having enjoyed food here in the past, its gone down hill severely. This time the food was really disgusting, the quality of the steak is the worst ive ever experienced, it was cooked badly and not as requested, the peas were old and tasted bad, the grilled tomato and other items on the rest of the order were so dry and over cooked, they looked and tasted as if they had been under a heat lamp for 5 hours. The menu change is poor, the offerings are limited and it has clearly has been done to increase profit, the 24oz fondu used to be 32oz not long ago! A medium 9oz ribeye with peppercorn sauce and a large diet coke was almost £20, not a lot if it had been edible. As I sit here having stomach cramps, I can honestly say we will never eat here again and would not recommend the Prince of Wales to anyone.

We've been twice recently and both times the food was nice. The only thing I'd suggest is, that if you call in early in the day wrap up.. It was quite chilly in there.. And don't sit near the windows..there's a Hell of draught. Food.. We had lasagne the first time It was nice.. The salad onions were a bit limp and tasteless like they'd been stored overnight or those mixed salad bags you can buy in the supermarket. The second time. I had bangers and mash with gravy so thick you could lay bricks with it. The sausage and mash were OK The hubby had the all day breakfast And loved it.. Only disappointment for him was the grilled tomato was cold it gets quite busy in there too. We've been in twice for lunch and both times... As we were leaving there were people at just about every table.
