| Large corner pub near the Freemasons Hall and the theatres etc. Staff were friendly enough and the beer was OK although the range was a bit limited on my visit. Quite quiet for a Wednesday (late lunchtime) but I would imagine it does get packed in the evenings before and after the shows. Only one real complaint - £3.95 for a pint!!!!! mcroyal - 5 Jan 2012 12:36 |
| Excellent! I came up to London with my fiancée for a weekend away, had an absolutely fantastic time in the pub, the staff were very welcoming and friendly, and an overall great night. we were originally only going into the pub for a quick drink before moving on to a restaurant in Covent Garden, but after chatting to one of the barmaids about the food they do at the pub we decided to stay for dinner too! We had a sharing platter between us and the food was superb and asked for the barmaid to give my compliments to the chef! Definitely will visit again and recommend it to all of my family and friends!! 10/10!! thanks for a great evening Prince Of Wales. London89 - 9 Oct 2011 14:12 |
| Poor service drags this rating down unfortunately. I cam in here in the afternoon on a Sunday and left as I was kept waiting at the bar for an inordinate amount of time while one barmaid chatted to a customer and the other ignored me. I was not alone as a couple left for exactly the same reason who came in after me. THey really should concentrate on training staff better in this place. I should point put that the pub was not at all busy at this point. However, I did give it a second chance in the evening and it was much better, as in we got served! Good selection of ales though i didn't try them on this occasion. Came in here a number of years ago though and remember the ale was good then. I think many pubs in the area have to employ staff who are quie transient and don't stay long so it must be quite difficult to maintain a consistently high level of service. thehonesttruth - 4 Jun 2011 10:14 |
| I was in this pub a few months ago. The decor wasn't bad and the barmaid was quick and attentive. So far so good. The only thing that lets this place down is the overpriced shite beer, a pint of Landlord at £3.44 that was truly cack, got a couple of mouthfuls down and had to leave it before I regurgitated said mouthfuls over the bar. My friend and I didn't even bother to complain as, having read other reviews previously, that would have got us nowhere fast. Go to the O'Neills or Hercules Pillars if you want a decent pint. If you like drinking the contents of a horse trough this is for you. john1969 - 31 Oct 2010 01:09 |
| Good staff, with a reasonable knowledge of what they sell. Nice atmosphere, although the toilets could use a bit of work. Good pub. Scrappydoo - 17 Jul 2010 15:39 |
