Reviews Summary
Diners consistently praise the Prince of Wales for its excellent food, particularly the Sunday roasts and pork dishes, and its warm, friendly atmosphere. The attentive and cheerful staff contribute to a welcoming experience, though some have noted slow service during peak times. Parking can also be a challenge.
"what a great find, a proper country pub with all the warmth and comforts you would expect. Excellent food, great local beer, lovely staff and very dog friendly. Easy online booking. Cosy open fire. Had local seasonal green hop beer from Chislet's brewery called Wild Lane which was very nice. Second visit, very nice again - delicious starters, whitebait and mushrooms, great roasts, nice "Hurricane" beer from Kent. Third visit - still great service, lovely food and most excellent (different) beer from Chislet's"
