Me and some friends booked a table at The Black Prince for England’s First euro 2020 match vs Croatia. The booking was very easy and the atmosphere on the day was amazing,with great hospitality from all the staff.I will 100% be going back when I am in the area.

We booked in advance as we were spending the fay at Chessington.Well what can I say. It was fabulous staff friendly and attentive food was great social distancing was well managed. Thank you to all the staff even those working in the kitchen. Only down side but not a complaint we promised our 20 month old grandaughter pasta and garlic bread but they had no pasta but she was happy with the chicken breast and a sausage off nanny's plate along with her garlic bread.Thank you all so much it was a perfect end to a wonderfull day

Love everything about this place (especially that it is down my road haha) I usually just come here for drinks but I had food as well today (kids sausage chips and beans, pictured) and it tasted amazing and was only £3.49! Drinks are very reasonably priced too; £4.24 for a single vodka lemonade with blackcurrant cordial. The garden is very pretty with lots of fairy lights and also has a covered area with heaters. David was our server all evening and he gave exceptional service. Thank you!!

Nice and comfy outdoor covered area with a really good value menu, delicious bottle of rose blush for less than £14 and efficient and good humoured service - what more could one ask for?.

I don’t know where to start with these guys, definitely the best pub in the area, without a doubt. I live locally and whatever the occasion (beers with mates, date nights or even business meetings) the black prince staff are always so accommodating. The service is always incredible, the food is amazing and the resilience they showed throughout the pandemic was great to see. Well done to all involved!!!

With an offer of 20% off for collection, I tried, and despite a limited menu, there was still plenty of choice, and foot was well presented in solid boxes. Beef and ale pie is amazing, very large, and full of quality beef, came with Chips or mash , veg and gravy.. Chicken and Mushroom pie was also very nice, not quite as large..Very good takeaway and will definitely be back.

We, usually 6+ of us and 11 last night, visit The Black Prince every Wednesday evening and have been doing so for more than 5 years. We have always found the service to be friendly and efficient. We only drink beers, ciders and the occasional gin and tonic and can honestly say that the beers are always as they should be. There is a good selection and rotations of guest beers. It is not a big pub but there is always a nice seating area available. I can highly recommend The Black Prince.

Whilst waiting for our dog Susie to be groomed,we opted to revisit one of our best pubs in the area called the Black Prince. As we were early the pub was reasonably quiet but for reference it opens at 11 am,but even though its a friendly place,large inside,it also has large outside seating areas. The selection of beers is good,the menu is vast and you could be spoilt for choice. We were there just over the hour,but the beer was cold and the food excellent and if you are in that area well worth a visit.

Went to the Black Prince yesterday lunchtime for a quick bite and beer. I don’t know if the regular cook is off on Monday but you’d expect the same attention for a simple dish like jacket potato and chilli con carne. I actually counted eight beans. Reported back to the bar and cook came out with an extra portion and not a word spoken. Spoilt what looks to be a very good pub with good bar staff.

Decided to try my "local" again after previous poor experiences and will definitely return. Had a total facelift and now bright and spacious inside. Food well cooked and presented and friendly staff. Reasonably priced wine, though we did have to specifically ask for our choice as initially were given the more expensive option when asking for Pinot Grigio. When we went in there was subtle background music allowing for easy conversation with a football match playing on a couple of the screens. However a group of men came in who'd obviously been playing football and someone decided to put all the screens on and play the match commentary really loud. No one was watching it (least of all the men who were busy chatting) and having unknowingly sat underneath a speaker it made conversation difficult.

Often visit this pub either for a quiet drink or to meet up with friends. Reasonably priced food which means it can get busy at lunchtimes, particularly on Sundays when they serve a great roast. Very popular with locals especially when sport is on the TV (when it gets a bit noisy). Nice beer garden. Service can sometimes be slow when they are busy but other than that, the staff are friendly and atmosphere in the pub relaxed.

I took my 85 year old mother for lunch and thought I would try the Black Prince. It was very quiet for a Sunday which should have set the alarm bells ringing. There were just 2 young girls running the whole pub, no sign of a manager. We waited well over half and for the food at which I had asked the staff why it was taking so long 3 times. When it eventually came is was frankly disgusting. The beef was so tough it was almost inedible The potatoes were not real they were aunt Bessie style frozen potatoes and mash which was that powdered potato. The veggies were horrible it was cooked and served without any care or attention. I was so Angry have written to Green King directly. I could not believe these two girls had to run the whole pub Ina Sunday, the manager has got this very wrong. How hard can it be to get adequate staff to run a pub. I could not cook that badly if I tried. Shame as my I have a big family and have been looking for somewhere decent to go on a regular basis. I will never be going back. This place was all about giving minimalistic very low quality food and not giving damn about the customer. The have got their business strategy so badly wrong, like so many big chains it's all about profit not quality. Green King wake up the place was empty, it should packed on a Sunday you have lost a lots of potential business from my family and probably many more if you carry on serving muck like that.!!

The bartenders are friendly enough, but very slow. It is always rammed on a big football or rugby night, and very much a mans pub. We took some friends there this weekend, and did manage to get a table at the back, we didn't order food because they said there would be a wait time of an hour. However I have had food here before and it was poor. Pub food is simple, and therefore should be made well. This is not the case here unfortunately, under cooked veggies, over horseraddished (new word alert) steak baguette. Estrella served in Heineken glasses, cider served in Stella glasses... they've tried to re vamp it, which helps but the people that frequent the black prince and the food bring the rating of this joint right down. I suggest going at a very quiet time and sitting outside if you can.

On entering, it's obvious this is a pub with dining facilities. We were given a luke-warm welcome. Dining facilities are basic and the decor leaves much to be desired. Food and drinks are ordered and paid for in advance at the bar. Prices are very reasonable with specials and offers. Food served in about 25 minutes and was nicely presented. Other customers drifted in as we dined, mainly men and just drinkers. Then the racket started ... a large screen television started screening a football match! Our peaceful meal was destroyed. We ate up and left. The moral of this report is: if you want a nice meal in peace and quiet, this place isn't for you. If, on the other hand, you enjoy a football match blaring out while you dine, then this place is fine for you. We won't be returning.

Lots of places to eat and drink within walking distance, Black Prince is an English Pub and a good menu.

Good place to meet with friends, lively atmosphere at weekends. We have eaten here and they serve typical pub food - scampi, burgers, curry etc it's not a gastropub but does the job and not too expensive. If it's a big football or rugby game usually packed so be aware.

We visited this pub recently with friends. Bar staff were rude, regular customers were rude to the bar staff which then made the bar staff even ruder.Food was hot and enjoyable. This is not a family friendly pub though. Such a shame as nicely decorated inside and fairly clean.

Short walk from the hotel, not too busy as it was a Sunday evening. Owner was very attentive and friendly. We ordered food and it was excellent and good value.

Firstly my expectation of this place was high due to the reviews about the buffet style Sunday Roast. My partner and I made the 100 mile round trip specifically to experience what everyone else had. I have to say that the selection and the food did not disappoint, nor did the dessert section. However, the lack of service and the overall atmosphere was where the restaurant lost me. My partner and I went up multiple times to try different sections so each time we finished a plate, we left it on the side of the table for it to be collected but at one point we had 6 plates on the table not being taken away. The staff were clearly not too busy as there was about 3 in the restaurant alone and around 5-6 tables of people. There was also hardly any atmosphere as the dining area was quiet and no music or background sounds. We understand not everywhere can play music but the result was a very flat feeling dining experience. The one bit that really got us was when my partner kindly asked if we could get a takeaway box as she had a few bits leftover on her plate and didn’t want it to go to waste. We asked a member of staff who said he needed to check with his manager, the manager came over and told us that they didn't have, “Any appropriate containers for our food”. We asked if there was anything else that could possibly be used and she said no. We were very surprised as we’d had afternoon tea there about 2 weeks prior. I also noted that the words used were “appropriate containers”. At the end, when paying the bill I asked the member of staff and was told that, “Actually we have foil but we were told that it doesn’t look good to give people foil”. The fact that we were not even offered the foil seems a bit like cutting corners at the expense of their guests - it might not have looked fantastic but it would have saved a lot of food being thrown away for no reason and it would have meant we could have enjoyed the food that we paid for at another time when we didn’t have a 50 mile journey ahead of us. Out of principle I should have taken off the service charge but I think I was still in shock when I was paying. We won’t be returning as this really left a bad taste in our mouth, given that it was £45pp with service charge and the experience really wasn’t worth the drive or the price in my opinion.

Bluebells Restaurant & Barlocation-iconShrubbs Hill, London RoadBritish

You are greeted as you come in by a very pleasant gentleman and let omyour reserved table. The lunch menu has a choice of 5 starters followed by another large choice of main courses and desserts . The service is second to none and the cocktails are to die for. The decor is very classy and there is plenty of space between the tables to allow private conversation. One of he starter was a salmon mousse wrapped up in a delicate shell and served with mini beetroots and mini fennel’s. All the food is cooked on the prémisses and this includes the warm bread rolls and the special butter. The beef as a main course is a pleasure to look at and so tender that it actually melts in your mouth and the presentation does not disappoint.
