| service 6/10 value for money 7/10 housekeeping 4/10 ambience 7/10 pub seems to be on a downward spirral back to where it was a couple of years ago menu far to upmarket for pub, french chef on god knows what wages not needed management never there rumours of owner coming to run it, never met him so cant comment but surly being his own business should pick it up ivorbeer - 27 Dec 2011 16:47 |
| I really like this pub - large, attractive garden and plenty of drinking room inside... each time I visit (usually weekedn afternoons) I'm always surprised that it's not busier, but if that means I don't have to queue for a pint, so be it boozelover - 7 Dec 2011 12:54 |
| I agree with many of the opinions on here that Gavin and his staff have indeed turned things around and the pub is now back up to speed and similar to that of 10-15 years ago!!! Well Done To All Giacomo10 - 26 Jan 2011 10:18 |
| Under Gavin and his staff, this pub is regaining ground as a great place for real ale drinkers, now confirmed by a good beer festival this weekend: an interesting range in excellent condition served in rotation across 7 pumps. A whole lamb roast yesterday looked and smelled tempting. Well done - I hope that it has been a big suceess. MeurglysIII - 19 Sep 2010 08:06 |
| Situated just a bit further down from the Prince Albert, on which I have been posted, the Prince Of Wales still bears outside the round green stag sign reminding us that it was a former Watney Combe Reid pub. A narrowish area in front of the bar counter is flanked by two distinct areas on either side. The public bar area on the right has some rugby memorabilia and a largish TV screen. On the left is a more comfortable saloon bar area which is also bare boarded, but has a characterful fireplace with some horse brasses and, further down, a seating area with burgundy painted walls and some old brewery mirrors, including Wethereds, Watneys, Double Diamond etc. Further behind this area, unusually, is a restaurant - "Le Petit Prince" - specialising in, believe it or not, French dishes. At the side of the pub is a pleasant garden - looking noticeably well-tended compared with what I remember from earlier visits. On the real ale front, the pub is a keen supporter of the local Twickenham Brewery and was offering Original - £ 2.90p - and Sundancer on my recent visit. The Original was in excellent condition. The other two pumps were serving Tribute and Doom Bar. A further bank of 4 pumps were not in use - I gather they're used during the pub's beer festivals. The pub has won local CAMRA branch awards and is a GBG regular. The pub interior felt a bit bright and modern for my liking - the CAMRA Good Beer Guide description of it as "unspoilt" is rather off beam - but, with this pub being the unofficial Twickenham Brewery tap, you may think it's worth calling in to sample their beers.
