| Love it. The landlord is constantly adapting his outside area to accommodate smokers in all and any bother inside is apparently swiftly dealt with - "apparently" because I have yet to see any bother at all since regularly coming here from around a year ago. Pints all under £3 - although sadly still no ale. Sky/Setanta an' all. Highly recommended if you are in the area and crave friendly staff (including the entertaining Sean) and equally friendly punters to welcom you in. Well kept, good ole' boozer.

| A close call. All the Prince requires is a couple of real ales and a slight dimming of the lights for a 10. A beautiful place with the best of staff so certainly worthy of regular visitation. PAFLeflar - 6 Apr 2007 01:06 |
| As a regular after work visitor I'd say that this was definitely one of the best pubs in the area. I know it as having a good jukey and decent lager (shame no ales) as well as a friendly atmosphere in the early evening. crampsfan - 14 Feb 2007 15:58 |
| What can I say - as as foreigner from South Africa in the 90's I was welcomed with open arms into the Prince Edward Family. I'm not into posey places and The Edward is definitely a pub where one can just be, without any airs and graces. A real place to relax, unwind and enjoy a few games of pool - where at the time the gals were better than the guys. The owner at the time was Avril and her hubby and the bar staff Sean,Brian & Maureen. Just want to thank them for my many hangovers - never got to do that before! Also remember the greats of the pub - Sully, Kieran, Wally & Alison, Con...the list goes on...still miss you guys intensely and hope that we may be in contact again one day. I am so glad that I ventured off the street into The Edward as I would never have known one of the best pubs in the world - well to me anyway. as Arnie says....I will be back - gotta put a few more coins into the jukebox you know. xxx CarolB - 27 Oct 2006 10:11 |
| On the plus side : a mad mix of thinking, talking people, broken-nosed aged fake gangsters and Arsenal fans - who are bad losers (rather like Australians). The atmosphere varies from boisterous, lively, good-natured with intrigue, to funereal. It is impossible to predict : Mondays/Wednesdays can be electric ; Saturdays, dire. Sunday afternoons are nearly always fun. The bar staff are almost always positive additions . One exception, a few years ago : a tall know-all with distressingly long false fingernails, who could upset certain regulars by merely looking at them ; who professed to speak French, thinking no-one else could. But we did, so she didn't try that one again. The head barman, Sean, couldn't speak English when he first arrived in England, 25 years ago. And nothing's changed there. On the minus side : the beer is expensive, the Guinness is bitter and there is no bitter on sale. anonymous - 5 Feb 2005 14:56 |
