Prince of Wales in Herefordshire, County of

I visited the prince of wales many years ago , as I was in the area I popped in for a quick pint and something to eat, the pub hadn’t changed one bit , it still retains its old world charm. It is nestled in a little lane of the high street surrounded by similar 15th century buildings. In all a little gem and will return when in the area. If you like old historical buildings this place is a must

An absolute real pub. Nice ale too but NO BUTTY?

A great friendly olde world pub down a little road of black and white buildings . Very friendly staff with great food and beer . Would thoroughly recommend it .

Proper pub. Great selection of ales. Lovely welcoming staff. Food was decent.

Good pub with tasty food and a decent selection of beers ... will visit again soon 😀

Moved to Ledbury 18 months ago and this is pretty much the only pub I go in. Nothing wrong with the others but the range of ales here is superb and well kept. Mix of clientele and whenever me, the Mrs or adult kids have been in we’ve never felt out of place. Bar staff are sound and the Sunday dinner is a bargain.

We visited The Prince of Wales pub yesterday afternoon and were shocked to see a MAGA hat hung up by the entrance. One of our party turned the hat around so the messaging wasn’t visible to everyone as it seemed to us to be in extremely bad taste. The people behind us mentioned to us they had also noticed it, and said they uncomfortable with it and didn’t like looking at it. We thought at best this was someone’s idea of a bad joke, and at worst something far more sinister. At some point the hat was turned back around to display the message without us noticing, which seemed odd. We were sat in the route from the kitchen for staff so when a waiter came past I asked if he knew if the hat was some kind of joke to which he replied “uh no” and carried on walking. This floored us, and when a waitress came past shortly afterwards, I mentioned what her colleague had said about the hat and asked if she knew about it, to which she replied “It’s just someone’s hat”. We finished our drinks and left and won’t be back. We are unsure of who the hat belonged to, staff or customer? But I’d be interested to know which part of the message this hat stands for is not a joke to The Prince of Wales pub; the racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia or ableism? I can’t help but worry what this precedes for Ledbury and would hate to think how vulnerable members of the community, and visitors to Ledbury would feel visiting this pub and seeing such an overt display of intolerance in a place described on your website as ‘welcoming’.

Loved this pub with excellent beer great food at really good prices and nice staff. Proper historical pub. Thanks for a nice lunch today.

A proper drinkers pub fantastic selection of ciders, ales, and lagers and a lovely friendly atmosphere. Give it a try

We love Ledbury and this was our second visit to this atmospheric place. We both had the veggie curry and it was beautiful. A nice pale ale with it.

Interesting ,quaint and snug pub Dog friendly with wide selection of drinks and tasty pub grub.Doeslive music on occasion.

Quality traditional pub. Low ceilings and heaps of wood. Heated & covered smoking area

A proper pub in a lovely location. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The Sunday lunch was tasty and the dessert was gorgeous. My sister in law had a vegetarian pie which was lovely. I will try it next time.

Abortive Christmas Shopping trip one Sunday in December as all the shops were closed and so I called in for a pint. The menu offered vegan options and so I had the vegan mushroom and chestnut pie with mash peas and gravy. It was the best vegan pub meal I've ever had and such a lovely ambience that I also had a pint and a half of their excellent range of beers. The meal was £10.50 and loads better than the posh expensive meal I had recently at a restaurant which was 3 times more expensive.

Always great. Recently on a cold winters day it was a lovely cosy retreat but I've also enjoyed their great range of local beers and ciders as a cool oasis on balmy summer days plus at other times. Lovely

This pub is located in a magical place, the food was lovely, decent array of drinks including cans and bottles. the layout is spacious and the welcome friendly even with our pain of a dog. Would definitely return.

This was our second visit to this perfect FreeHouse in a quaint street in Ledbury. The food is homemade and delicious, plenty of choice for all dietary needs. Highly recommend the homemade pies (inc veggie and gluten free options) and the sweet potato and chickpea curry. Just what we needed after rehearsing in a freezing cold church all afternoon. Thank you for making us so welcome and warming us up!

Always imbibe here every year after our annual Budapest Café concerts at the local Market Theatre. Beer is always plentiful and fresh and always nice variety available, including nearly always a mild and or a stout, a rarity these days.

I used to work in the Black Country, though not in the Black Country it brings back memories of the warm friendly atmosphere The Prince of Wales has that quality that many public houses seem to lack. It's a traditional pub well tried and tested, even adding live music to the blend.

Amazing little pub, warm and welcoming, friendly staff. Now for the best bit, The food. The food was amazing and great value for money, Generous portion sizes. The whole experience makes me wish we lived closer

Lovely pub to visit. Made to feel very welcome. Everybody was very friendly and it had live entertainment. What more could you ask for.

As a cider fan this place ticked all the boxes. They had a great selection of local ciders and ales. The staff where also great and helpful. I really loved the historic and originality of the building.

We came here a couple of times while staying in the area. They have an excellent selection of ciders and they are very dog friendly! We also had a meal one evening which was delicious. The pub also has a very historic feel, very pretty and fitting with Ledbury.

What a lovely find in Ledbury, stopped in for a drink on the first night of our stay. Great range of beers and drinks, very welcoming and very friendly atmosphere. Pulled in again on our second night drawn by their food menu, service was quick and food delicious. Shame we had only two days there but highly recommend this gem .

Had a gorgeous roast beef dinner. Was made very welcome by the landlord and his great staff. Proper old style pub great selection of drink and food.

Lovely old pub serving pub grub, pies,ploughman's,scampi. Good atmosphere at lunchtime with friendly staff. Worth a visit.

Great choice of beers, well kept too. Food fantastic, the sausage sandwich is tremendous and the chips are simply perfection, great tasting and hot. Efficient and friendly service, great, definitely a great pub to recommend. 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Dropped in here for a swift beer and wine b4 meeting up with family for a meal. Buzzing and lively atmosphere, good beer. Great location.

A beautiful old building so lovely to be able to sit inside and soak up the atmosphere and the history. Great choice of food on the menu, a good selection of lighter bites and full size meals. Reasonable prices and friendly staff. It's definitely on the list of places to return to.

We visited this pub on our one night stay in Ledbury. It's a really lovely pub with great staff. It was acoustic music night as it was a Wednesday. The group of musicians were very welcoming to my husband, who always travels with a guitar, and invited him to play. We had a great night and enjoyed the music from some very talented musicians. We will definitely return when we are next in Ledbury.

Worst fish and chips ever - but to be fair it did not say freshly battered cod - staff pleasant enough - would not visit again

This is a gem of Ledbury. Amazing gluten free options! Would recommend the gluten-free ale and gluten-free pies! The staff were very helpful. Toilets were clean as well with hygiene pads available which I think is very thoughtful 😊

An absolutely awesome place I would highly recommend it to anyone

Proper old fashioned pub with really helpful staff, fantastic scampi chips and peas, unfortunately being rather hungry forgot to take a photo before I demolished it! Will certainly be going back soon

foods cheap as is the beer,had a great time in tewesbury,but also tried to support some of the smaller local pubs,all very friendly,a great place..

Really enjoyed pint in this traditional old pub. Great selection of ciders. And some vegan options for food.

A lovely day out ruined by the bar staff.they where too busy comparing tattoos from what I could see.we had sat down and I was at the bar waiting to order,bar staff came in looked at me and went to talk with the other person.the 3 men drinking at the bar were disgusted.my wife and I left .NEVER TO RETURN.

We decided to try the Prince of Wales as is dog friendly and wasn't disappointed. It hadn't been a great day of our holiday having got soaking wet but the meal we had was superb to make up for it. We had a warm welcome and liked the rustic style atmosphere. We had the chickpea and spinach curry which was very tasty and I had the steak and kidney pie, mash and peas and it was the best pie I've ever had, it has a lovely suet pastry and was filled to the brim. The Ledbury ale was good also. Our dogs enjoyed the complimentary gravy bones! We hope to visit again in the future. DM Norfolk.

While staying in Ledbury we thought we would try the Prince of Wales as is dog friendly. After a friendly welcome we ordered our meals and wasn't disappointed, we had the chickpea and spinach curry which were very tasty and I had the steak and kidney pie, mash and peas which was the best pie I've had, it was filled to the top of the suet pastry and was delicious. The Ledbury ale was good also. Our dogs loved the complimentary gravy bones! We hope to see you again sometime. DM Norfolk.

Had a lovely home cooked meal and pudding with a local cider 5* value.

Really cool little pub. Went for a comedy night, which was great. Will return for sure

Good selection of beers, lagers and ciders. Lovely old.pub atmosphere with a decent food offering.

What a pub!!! Such a killer atmosphere, can't wait to go back!!!!

Great food and friendly service. Reasonably priced. In an old style pub with lots of character. Recommended.

Stopped in this pub for lunch as we were visiting the town. Ordered beef madras curry and it was over £13 and there were 5 oxo cube sized bits of beef in the whole meal. Curry wasnt flavourful at all. My wife had the vegetarian curry and she said it was the worst curry she'd eaten. Sorry guys but the food wasn't good. Atmosphere was good and old charm of the pub was lovely and staff were friendly and professional.

Just popped in for drink and snack at lunchtime & we were very pleasantly surprised. The quality of our sandwiches (with side salad) was excellent - delicious sausages & really good quality ham, both sourced locally. Very friendly staff too.

Great pub often with live music usually blues' bands. Real ales and everything else.

Very pleasant staff, quick service, good beers but sadly the food was very disappointing. Soggy pies and insipid chips

Awesome pub, great simple, proper pub grub (sausage sandwich & bangers & mash). I took me mam & we both loved it. Will definitely be coming back 🍻🌭🥪🥔🍯

Great quirky place with character

Good pub grub, great beer selection, great atmosphere.

A warm welcome friendly staff nice pint and an amazing pie

Great pub, lovely sandwich, and dog friendly!

Went in for lunch .... Great service lovely reasonably priced food highly recommend 🤩

Proper pub. Thank God. Great choice of ciders.

What a wonderful old gem of a pub this is. A good variety of beers and a great selection of ciders as you'd expect for the area.

Lovely old pub in a good looking town. Very nice pub food and the Robinson's cider was great! Well worth a visit.

A fantastic place to visit have a drink and some food great staff as well

Very traditional old pub interior and exterior wise. I really loved the decor inside, posters and coasters and old bells to name a few. A really good selection of beers and spirits too, with guest beers on tap from semi-local brewers. It was a perfect stop after walking from Great Malvern through the day!

Fantastic historic pub with welcoming landlord. Excellent food and attention to detail. Highly recommended.

Lovely boozer. Great beer and great value Sunday Dinner

Busy on boxing day, but there were places to sit and good service and nice beer selection

Great atmosphere, amaising selection of Beers,Ales,Ciders. Great home cooked food. Historical and cosy,with great friendly staff.

Lovely pub plenty of real ales and ciders on tap, only one lager but do have San Miguel 0% on tap which is a nice touch

Fantastic family and friends meal with our boys. Went for lunch with friends. Had 3 boys under 7 with us. Food was fantastic with clean plates all round. Had a range of meals from Sunday roast, curry, venison pie, fish finger sandwich and Scampi. Puddings were also really nice. Staff were friendly and accommodating and the food was great value. Nice atmosphere and good service. Thank you very much!

Smashing pub, cosy, warm, well organised pub with the best selection of beer and cider in Ledbury. Had food in the past and that was excellent.

If you like a traditional British pub then this is for you steeped in history old world charm excellent selection of beers and ciders for a small pub we went on pie night Thursday a good choice of pies on offer along with the regular menu we were not disappointed lovely food

Great pub food (pies) and beer at a reasonable price. Just a good honest pub. We had the pies which were all good.

It's a nice pub, a throw back to where a pub was run by a landlord not a company, and it's all the better for it Well worth it

Popped in for a quick lunchtime pint and stopped for two and some food. Nice warm welcome in smallish pub, good selection of beers and ciders on hand pump and what we had was served in perfect condition and reasonable priced. The menu is not extensive, but to traditional pub fare. The pie and sausages we had was fine, but not exceptional, but a reasonable value for money. If ever in area again would happily call in again.

Over a year since visiting Ledbury. We don't live so far away and have always enjoyed our visits, so decided on a browse and pub lunch would be a nice treat, as we had a day's break. The atmosphere and place was very nice - clean, interesting with helpful and friendly staff. The beer was excellent. So disappointed in the food though. We had jumbo cod and chips, which definitely wasn't jumbo! The batter was terrible and hardly any fish inside - massively overcooked too. Chips were OK and tartar sauce and so on, but it was a very poor and left a bad taste in our mouths and bad feeling, as we reflected afterwards that we should have mentioned our disappointment. Don't think you should advertise Fish on Friday as a special thing unless it is at least slightly special. (it ruined our day a little :0( ) Hopefully you will improve this, as it is very nice in other ways.

Good ale, tasty food, friendly staff, fantastic

Lovely roast dinner but no choice pork or nothing.. BUT the pork was lovely... 🤣🤣

used to be a great little pub but now way over priced

Passed through Ledbury on our way back home from Hay on Wye to Leicester. Found this place from a recommendation by a local in another pub (the particular pub had stopped serving food as it was a Sunday). Luckily the Prince of Wales serves food from 12 until late, so for a Sunday we were initially pleased with just that as it was 6pm. Walked through the door and instantly loved the place. A real traditional cosy pub that is clearly loved by the locals. Atmosphere was spot on. After a bit of helpful consultation with the friendly pub staff, we ordered fish and chips and the vegan pie from the specials board. Absolutely banging food! Saved room for dessert, warm choc fudge cake and sticky ginger pudding! Delicious. What a find this place is. If you’re passing through or visiting town, take yourself here for a really traditional and excellent experience. Hope our paths cross again some day. Cheers.

In delightful Ledbury, we chanced upon The Prince of Wales for a quick snack lunch...and very good it was too. The P o W is tucked up a side street (Church Lane) in the town centre, and is a bit 'tardis' like i e a lot larger inside than you'd think from the outside. This is a really friendly local pub with quite a history, and a good range of drinks with a simple bar menu. My wife and I had a drink and a sandwich each, for which I paid £20. The sandwiches were fine - certainly nothing to complain about - but ordinary, so I'm giving this review 4* because of the friendliness and ambience of this proper pub. Recommended.

Disappointed after good reviews Staff friendly and nice olde wordle pub but food not great Veg curry tiny and watery Veg sausage overcooked

Good atmosphere, good ales, good staff, good pubbie menu (faggots recommended). A lot is just right at the Prince of Wales. Perhaps more mash with the meals though (please ;)

Ledbury bitter brilliant lovely atmosphere staff were great and attentive

Charming historical English Pub that still serves locals and visitors great food and wide selection of drinks. Chef was happy to adjust our order to suit our desires. Even our Vegans were happy with a gorgeous curry and chocolate pudding. The atmosphere of a Tudor Pub has been well maintained into the modern era. Will eat here again next time we are in Ledbury.

We really enjoyed our visit to this traditional pub. There was a good range of pub grub on the menu - including faggots and some lovely pies - and it was very reasonably priced. Really clean and friendly. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Fantastic little pub been several times over the years meeting up with the locals and also met the new landlord very nice gentleman, food was very nice and good selection of beers. Hope to go there again when back in the area

Great beer and cracking food. Cozy, friendly and it's what a pub used to be like. I'll be going back. Thanks also to the staff working there

BRILLIANT!!!! Best pint of toffee stout I have ever tasted and lovely ploughmen’s lunch you won’t leave hungry Bar staff amazing friendly and knowledgeable. Will definitely be coming back!!

We stopped in for a drink while staying in Ledbury. Small quaint pub serving quite a few ales and lagers. Some gins but not the mainstream ones. Interesting to see but limited space to sit. It serves food as well but we didn’t try it

Wow, amazing everyone should try the Traditional Faggots

No-nonsense pub grub, welcoming staff and a very nice selection of beers. Importantly, not just pilsners and IPAs! Regret only being able to pop in for one. Will be back if I'm ever in town again.

Popped in a few times for drinks while in Ledbury, some decent beers a Devonian Otter, Ledbury bitter, Hobgoblin and one I've forgotten the name of, staff pleasant and lots of character in this old beamed building

Nice friendly pub in a beautiful place

Great selection of ales. The Ledbury pale ale was excellent. Really nice pub!

We called in for lunch. Fish and chips, loads of chips but fish quality very poor. Cheap frozen fish. Sweet potato, chick pea and spinach curry. Ok but very bland and watery. Overall very disappointing meal. Would not visit again

Absolutely cracking pub. Lovely staff. Great selection if both real ales and lagers. Real ales very well kept. We were over a Sunday lunchtime with a toddler and a baby and the staff and locals were very accommodating. Definitely the best pub we came across in and around Ledbury.

Found by reviews,wow really nice place. Small and delicious menu, small, simple and nice! More places could do the same. The pies were very, very good,super delicious! 👍 Good service and a cozy place. Highly recommended! Will be back to try another delicious pie!

Great old pub with friendly atmosphere and excellent value for money. The Robinson's cider(see photo) was terrific

A quaint and authentic old pub. Food was good, landlord was friendly and informative on the history of this lovely old pub. Worth a visit.

We didn't eat here but we walked into a pub that was filled with atmosphere. Lovely reception by staff. Great choice of real ales. Little back street pub with loads of gumption

Good honest pub grub and a decent pint in a proper unpretentious pub.

Lovely quirky pub with good food and great beer. The staff are friendly and helpful, and we soon had a couple of pints of beer and lunch ordered. The food is good pub grub, dont expect fine dining, but you do get a full plate of tasty food

Old, quaint and charming. Down narrow Church Lane. Good Ales, gins, etc. and pies. Owners unfortunately changing soon. But well worth a visit. Live music.

Great pies and great range of ales - and in an amazingly atmospheric pub - just so old :-)
