Prince of Wales in London

Oh, let me tell you about the Prince of Wales – it's one of those classic London pubs that just feels like a proper hideaway in the bustling West End. I've heard from folks who've popped in that it's absolutely smashing for grabbing a pint before the theatre, with a great lineup of beers and ales that keep things interesting. The staff are genuinely warm and quick to lend a hand, which makes the whole place feel inviting, and it's fantastic if you're keen on watching the big games; they show everything from Premier League footy to rugby and more. Plus, being family and dog-friendly, it's a versatile spot that caters to all sorts. On the downside, though, some mates have shared their gripes about the food – that Sunday roast sounds like it missed the mark, with overcooked beef and soggy spuds that left a bad taste. And if you're after a buzzing atmosphere for a laugh with friends, it might come across as a bit subdued. All in all, it's a solid choice for a casual catch-up, especially if drinks and vibes are your main focus, but I'd say keep expectations in check for the grub to avoid any disappointments.
