| Visited at lunch time on a soggy grey February day, this is a large imposing pub situated on the corner of Crowthorne High Street. The interior suggests this pub has seen better days. The two ales on offer were instantly forgettable. Before accepting our food order the friendly young barman mentioned by the previous reviewer, checked a hand written note to ensure that our menu choices were still available. As these were fish & chips x2 and a mixed grill this was surprising as the pub had only just opened. This was delivered after a long wait, heavily overcooked. My dark brown fish & chips would have benefitted from safety goggles for shatter protection. Not worth complaining in this kind of cheap but cheerless pub. Hellskitchen - 15 Feb 2011 09:14 |
| Fairly quiet pub on my visit. Friendly young barman - apparently being trained, let's hope the trainers don't train out his natural approach. 4 beers on, Youngs, Hogs Back TEA, Broadside and Old Speckled Hen. Our group tried the first 3, but all served too cold. All also pretty lacking in condition, but all at thr end of the barrel. New casks were better, but serving Young's Bitter with a tight head - no! So much potential, but if they serve the beer a 1 or 2 degrees warmer, don't beat the bejasus out of it in the line and have a slightly more exciting range (why do pubs insist on selling boring tasteless Greene King beers when half the pubs in the area sell it - often badly-kept - anyway?) then the potential could be fulfilled. At £2.71 my Youngs was decent value, however. Not sure this pub knows it's target market, but if it can appeal broadly it must do better on the beer quality front. metrology_man - 14 Oct 2010 08:09 |
| Pub is dirty, the manager doesnt care about the place or the people that visit, all he seems interested in is drinking himself silly at the end of the bar. Its a shame i only live around the corner, but refuse to use the place while its like it is. Iv been told by the staff theres a new manager taking over in a few weeks, maybe i will give the place another go then, i just hope that he/she cares about the place as much as the people of Crowthorne do. So heres my tip AVOID untill the new manager takes over. rachelh12 - 22 Jan 2010 19:24 |
| Nice friendly staff. Food inexpensive, (you do in this instance get what you pay for!!) Mostly brought in brakes type thing. Interior could do with updating, furniture and decor tired. foodie58 - 8 Jun 2009 14:27 |
| The Prince has always been a regular Friday lunchtime venue and we have been going on and off for the past year. We have always been very pleased with the service until recently. The past couple of times we have been it has not been particulary busy and we have been told that food will take approx 20 minutes. We always have to check as we are on our lunchbreaks. After about 30 - 40 minutes we have to start chasing and are told its on its way. In the end we have to get the food to be wrapped in foil and take it away. The staff are never apologetic about it and never give an explaination. I think if this only happened the once then it would be ok but it has happened a couple of times now and I think this is unaccpetable. Another complaint is that it is freezing in there. They have a couple of open fires but don't always light them. We all have to sit huddled in our jackets. victoriac13 - 16 Jan 2009 13:48 |
