About This Pub
Ah, the Prince of Wales Rugby – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem, you know? From what folks are saying, the drinks are an absolute bargain, cheaper than grabbing a pint at the nearby supermarket, which means you can settle in without breaking the bank. I love how it's got that warm, buzzing atmosphere, especially with live bands cranking out tunes on the weekends and big screens showing all the rugby action or even the Grand Prix – it's spot on for a casual get-together or winding down after a long day. The staff come across as really friendly and welcoming, and that outdoor area sounds like a treat on a sunny afternoon, perfect for a chat with mates. But, to be fair, there was that one grumble about their ID policy; it seems they stick strictly to certain IDs, which might leave some feeling a bit frustrated if they're turned away. Overall, though, with a solid 4.4 rating from heaps of reviews, it's got that community heart that makes you want to keep coming back – just pop in prepared, and you're in for a good time!

What a price! Cheaper than in opposite supermarket. Come for one pint. Stay for 3. Highly recommend
Not tried food, went there after a works Xmas do, karaoke in full swing, decent little place
This is an awesome pub with a great atmosphere and fantastic staff. Furthermore, the landlady is amazing too. Finally, they have awesome bands on each weekend like Third Alert.
After a Sunday shop adventure we were looking for refreshments. Due to the hot weather. Looked so inviting seeing the outside area that was busy. So popped in. Ordered a couple of pints, and made our way out into garden. Had Grand prix on the large screen TV. Everyone was warm and friendly. 😊😊
Went in here with 2 x 19 year olds, who are lucky enough to look their age. They have a challenge 25 policy. Fair enough.
Nowhere does it say they do not accept citizenship cards despite the cards being government issued and printed that they are recognised by police and home office. The explanation they gave (only after I asked, not at the time of saying they won't accept them) was because they can be forged (as if driving licences and passports cant). Because of this, and one of the 19 year olds having this form of ID, we had to leave.
Also, the way the bar staff spoke to us was not ok. They didn't greet us, or ask politely for the ID. As soon as we walked in they just pointed at us (the 19 year old in particular) and said 'ID'.
We don't usually go in there, it's just because a friends band was playing. And maybe that was their problem. But definitely won't even consider making it a regular haunt for any of us.
