Prince of Wales in Gwynedd

We didn’t eat here but what I could see meals did look inviting and good potions too. Not totally sure but what I saw people that was eating their meals came in take away cartons? The welcome was warm and inviting. Service was great. Toilets clean. So all in all lovely place to visit

The waitresses were so good and the food was amazing we had cod and chips yummy But there was one member of staff called niesha who was horrible she moaned at her pour staff all the time we were there and pour girls were running there socks off and instead of asking if we were finished in a loud voice by our table says that there are people waiting for a table ,we had just finished our meal and were having another drink before we left .

Locals pub with a good selection of beers. Happy hour 3-5 weekdays and no food 2-5. Strange ans a number of people came in asking for food.

Great local, nice food, pleasant staff.

Great pub, lovely pints and food, good and friendly service.

Four of us had a lovely meal yesterday lunchtime here. Great value for money well worth a visit. Two of us had the Kofta curry which was lovely, one had fish & chips and one the Prince burger.

Quality and above all else, friendly. Da iawn.

Your food and service was incredible. We came twice on our Easter holidays with 81 year old mum thank you

Great pub in the middle of Criccieth, good selection of drinks & food

We were on holiday and had pre booked to eat on the bank holiday Sunday. Mix up with booking so no table on arrival but the lovely lady behind the bar( I presume owner ) apologised and wiggled things around and as we were a party of 8 and 4 dogs that was an achievement. Food not cheap but lovely and our patience was rewarded with a discounted bill which was much appreciated. Bethany and Lexi excellent service so thank you all for the great customer service.

Great little pub , visited Easter Sunday and the service was great with very polite and friendly waitresses. Food was delicious, we had the turkey Sunday dinner, steak and ale pie, prince burger and kids chicken chunks and chips fantastic value for money. Thank you for the Easter egg for my grandson he was made up. Definitely recommend it if you're in the local area to Criccieth. We will be back. Thank you.

We had very warm welcome the food served quickly and hot the staff was very welcoming we stayed at motorhome site near by Will definitely be back next time diolch yn fawr iawn 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

*UPDATED. We also visited again the following day too. Easter Sunday roast dinner is also superb. What tremendous pub. Staff are so friendly across the board. Lunchtime Easter Saturday service was still brilliant. Ale kept well and the food (Minted Lamb pie for me) was absolutely superb and very reasonably priced. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Diolch yn fawr

Great pub, great food and great staff....enjoy

Lovely food at an affordable price.

The food at this establishment was second to none fabulous food and very good service I would recommend this place to anyone

Great pub find while staying close by on a caravan site. Staff in the pub so welcoming and friendly, we ordered food, all meals served quickly, hot fresh and tasted great. The vibe of the pub is also great , you are made to feel very welcome to come in for a drink and food. Great find, highly recommend :)

We visited north Wales & we found this little gem was showing the 6 nations finale (despite Wales losing & ending up with the wooden spoon). They are dog friendly & the landlord was very friendly & accommodating too. The pub is like a tardis, with the bar sat in the middle with all the seating areas around it. We didn't eat so can't comment on that.

Stopping in the centre of Criccieth during a very wet week The PoW was an absolute godsend. Very comfortable & welcoming thanks to Nisha. A big bonus is it’s dog friendly, now with a ‘Canine menu’ to keep the hound quiet while you eat. I had the steak which was excellent, all the beers are on top form & reasonably priced, highly recommend a visit if you are in the area.

Nice food. Best to book ahead for busy nights.

Stopped off for a pint nice clean friendly staff

Friendly, warm, characterful pub

We are staying in the area and after a walk popped into the prince of wales, the barmaid and waitress were so helpful and friendly, they bought our dog a biscuit and some water, couldn’t have been more helpful. The home cooked food completed a great visit. Will be back, thank you! Bwyd blasus, gennod cyfeillgar a methu helpu digon, Diolch.

Excellent food and service was fast and friendly- highly recommended

Cozy pub. Friendly service. Food mediocre.

Great beer battered cod and chips. Good selection of beers and wine. Unfortunately it was that cold we kept our winter coats on. Would return if the heating was on.

Lovely staff, good selection of draughts and a free pool table when food isn't being served, which happened to be what we turned up for at lunchtime (and drinks!). BUT it was off season and we were encouraged to buy food from the town and bring it in to eat, which was perfect. We'll be back next time we are in Criccieth.

Lovely little pub in cricceth North Wales with a lovely atmosphere and the food was nice and filling after a walk on the beach. Tried the roast dinner and it was decent, felt the gravy was out of a tub, would have topped the meal off lovely with lovely a nice meat juice gravy. Kids ate southern fried chickens and beef burgers and had no complaints. Also the kids lasagne was nice with a Herby flavour. Sprouts were rock hard though and stuffing couldn't had a bit longer in the oven to give it a crispier edge. Would recommend and will go back .

We popped in in a gloomy and misty day the first week of October and found a warm, clean and nice place with great food. Best fish and chips ever! Also very kind and friendly staff.

Nice pub the lovely girls went out of their way to get me a table, and food was great. Visit this area regularly and always visit this place

Lovely place excelent staff good food

Great place to have a decent evening meal on a cold and wet night in north wales. Well looked after with great service and the quality and amount of food served was excellent. Will definitely be coming back.

Good range of beers food menu mixed ..had gamon with trimings large 10onz steak cooked to the way I like Great place to visit if on hols in criccieth.

Great service great food top marks for everything. Would recommend.

Absolutely lovely food cooked by Paula we throughly enjoyed it! The table service was fantastic the girls were very friendly and accommodating.

Great service! Food was good as well. Unfortunately we were placed near the pool billiard table/entrance. That lowered the experience a bit.

I learned a lesson here about first impressions. We needed somewhere to eat, early evening with a dog. I had my sights set on Dylan's but they didn't have a table. The Prince of Wales turned out to be a superb alternative. Very friendly and accommodating staff and pie and chips to die for, a lucky find for us!

Lovely pub, excellent food two nights in a row. Highly recommend the steak and ale pie in particular! Our server in particular this evening (Sept 25), was one of only two staff out front and definitely very hardworking, was friendly and fantastic. Thank you ♥️ Only thing is I wish the minted Lamb pie, which is listed on the online menu but not on the menu in the pub itself, had been available.

We thought maybe serving eight adults and five grand kids would be a challenge for the serving staff. Nothing could have gone smoother and nothing was too much trouble. They ensured we got all meals and drinks very quickly after they'd been ordered Oh, and the food is really really good and reasonably priced. If we go back to Criccieth we will definitely have a meal and drinks at The Prince of Wales.

Lovely food , great menu ,staff we lovely ,very attentive ,plenty of different beers and wines on offer , had the chicken pie with chips ,really nice ,recommended .

Really nice experience and friendly staff. Enjoyed a new ale, definitely recommend 👌

Lovely meal, great atmosphere & our waitress was very attentive. Would definitely recommend & plan to visit again when we are back in Wales.

Went in for a quick pint on our first night of our holiday. Fabulous beer, Aber Falls gin and a sausage for a dog!! Great, friendly staff too. We'll be back this week!!

A really nice and friendly pub. Meals were amazing too

Absolutely lovely steak.Can't fault the service,would definitely pop in again if ever up this way 👍

The pub was very welcoming the staff just couldn’t do enough for you the portion sizes were rather large and very filling but the food was absolutely delicious and full of flavour well done

Outstanding food and the beers not to bad either 👌 👍 😉 😀

Food was nice, dog friendly pub. Staff helpful.

Excellent little pub, good food and great beer

Visited yesterday evening, live music with a lovely atmosphere. Very warm welcome from the staff too. Had already eaten elsewhere so just called in for a drink but ended up staying as it was so relaxed and friendly. Definitely recommend if in the area !

Lovely food ,good staff good atmosphere. 👍

Lovely food once again, and the staff are so nice

Found this place on line after visiting pwhelli the previous day and finding nowhere to eat. We decided to look for places in Criccieth and found The Prince of Wales has good reviews so we decided to give it a try. There were 6 off is and the place was busy but they found us a table and soon came to take our order. The food was amazing, all fresh and home cooked and tasted delicious. Some of the best food we have ever eaten and the staff were all friendly and helpful. The cutlery is brought in little paper pouches with the dessert menu on the back which I thought was a really good idea and we started discussing which desert we wanted as they looked fantastic, however the mains were so tasty and filling we didn’t have room for pudding. Definitely a must visit when in Criccieth.

Came on Monday night for a drink and decided to come back on Tuesday for a meal .The place was packed out but luckily they managed to squeeze us in .The food was excellent. I definitely recommend the Steak and Ale pie ,the best I have ever had.

Well worth a stop at ...might have to wait for food as pub very busy..worth the wait

A great traditional pub, friendly staff & attentive service, lovely home cooked food, the chef was very accommodating when my husband asked for his eggs to be poached rather than fried to go with his gammon…in his words “they were the best poached eggs in Wales!” This is definitely a pub to visit if you are looking for good food with a lovely atmosphere.

Lovely pub, good food, staff really friendly and helpful.

Food was nice and reasonably priced

Great food, tasty and good portion sizes. A lovely, welcoming atmosphere. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend.

Very well priced for 5 adults and 4 children

Didn't eat but enjoyed a few pints with some live folk music. Will visit again before the end of the week

Fantastic place with fantastic food. Highly reccomended

Excellent food and a relatively fair price. However, the service is very long (~30 minutes of waiting even though it was after 1:30 p.m. and there was almost no one there) so you need to have a little time on your hands.

Excellent food & very pleasant staff

Really impressed with this local pub, the food was great home cooked style, and portions are plenty. We had both starters and main both came out quickly. Really friendly, quick and good service, staff were attentive.

Absolutely lovely came here with my wife and grandson such a lovely meal, the steak ale pie was as best as it could be. Lovely service and such a lovely vintage pub.

Sunday lunch today was very average. Bland veg. Two roast potatoes. No mash or new potatoes offered. Very small portion of meat. Had to ask for condiments. Not even salt or pepper on table, given in paper sachets. No atmosphere. Service ok.

Very average Sunday lunch today. Lots of bland veg. Only two roast potatoes. Very small portion of meat. No mash or new potatoes. Had to ask for condiments as none provided. Made to feel like a nuisance for asking. Left still feeling hungry. Overall quite poor.

They have a good selection of gluten free meals

The Prince of Wales is a great family friendly pub with some great food. Staff were particularly friendly and attentive especially when catering for our larger group of 7 people. I will definitely choose to eat at the Prince of Wales next time I visit Criccieth.

Good quality pub food. I particularly liked the steak and ale pie. Nice friendly staff. Good choice on kids menu. A small but well kept selection of real ale. (Purple moose bitter, Rev. James, Brains SA).

We have just eaten here as a family and had an amazing meal. The staff were very friendly and helpful. My son has coeliac disease so needs to eat gluten free. We were so pleased to see that a separate gluten free menu was available...

Great food, great service and a very good atmosphere.

Great service, and the best food we have had in Criccieth. Lasagne was proper home made rather than the slop you get at some pubs, and my kids enjoyed their burgers. Good pints as well

Great food, thank god i didn’t read the reviews!! Great food, lovely staff, old fashioned cosy pub , nice back ground music , we will be back

I like everything in this place. Proportions were very generous and good food.. My only downside of it was it was very warm where they put us upstairs and very gloomy in the light. But everything else was spot on. The girls were friendly and helpful.

The owner was an arrogant individual who ignored you in favour of diners .. he needs to remember it's the locals who will put money in the till in winter.. local barmaid was great though

Popped in for a drink and a lunch time snack but found the pint and a glass of wine over three pounds more than the pub up the road, had a cheese and onion baguette and was so surprised to receive grated cheese as I...

Most enjoyable steak pie for a long time.

Friendly staff food good for money

Very unwelcoming with smokers in the entrance. Genuinely pleased to be refused a table, thankfully they were all booked.

Dog friendly but dogs have to sit on the floor, whilst I fundamentally understand this rule our two dogs are very small and I would have sat them on our knees. The young lady behind the bar was very welcoming and polite making conversation and banter from the minute we walked through the door and the locals were very chatty and friendly, Although it was a 1 pint pit stop after a long afternoon it is highly recommended

Fantastic place to visit and great staff keep up the good work...oh and the food is yummy...

Lovely traditional pub, visited for drinks almost every day during our week’s holiday. Very welcoming team behind the bar, relaxed atmosphere, and very clean and well looked after pub (including the loos!).

Friendly staff and locals, food good. Would go back if in the area.

Really good for eating and very friendly for those with smaller appetites they happily split a dish between 2 or allow you to take the children's portion the service is super

We (three adults and a dog) had an evening meal here of classic 'pub grub' accompanied by excellent real ale. We were made to feel very welcome and the staff made a fuss of our dog.

It’s been a few years since our last visit to Criccieth. Thankfully the pub is dog friendly still and in fact less formal than before. Back to the old days of sitting anywhere. We enjoyed a lovely steak for our wedding anniversary. Food and service...

Lovely staff , not Michelin star just good old pub grub done well , clean friendly and accommodating have no complaints .

One of the few dog friendly pubs in area

I went there last Saturday and was expecting the regular pub grub with sticky tables but was mistaken. Although a bit pricier than other pubs in my area (West Midlands) it was a positive surprise. I've ordered the Prince Burger, which had a much tastier and better seasoned burger patty than other places back home. My wife ordered the Steak and Ale Pie and it was also delicious. I would have ordered one to myself were I not full already =)

Really nice food, had a Sunday lunch and a chessecake. Fast service and friendly staff

Vibrant pub serving decent beer by friendly staff……”chicken tikka” turned out to be tough as old leather and sauce out of a jar ….at least I could submerge the oven chips in that….big mistake on my part to pay up front as the response was...

Driving around looking for food on a Sunday evening while on holiday, didn’t think we would have much luck as most places stop serving early on a Sunday and we had our dog with us so thought we would struggle even more. These were really...

We were booked in to a nearby 'hotel' and walked up to this pub for an evening meal. The pub is busy (always a good sign!) but we were fortunate enough to get a table on the 1st night. There was a good choice of...

Popped in for a pint dinner time after a walk around Cricceth, staff very good, clean, dog friendly, being from the black country had a bostin bag of scratchings which I was craving, sat talking to strangers as if known years. Lovely relaxed hour, reasonably priced for a tourist place

Best gammon and chips I've ever had a in a pub. Visited from London for my dad's birthday and decided here for it being a dog friendly pub. Food was great, beer was great and the customer service was brilliant from the staff, very friendly....

The smell of lovely food attracted us the night previous to our and wasn’t disappointed as food was lovely including all the staff! So friendly, attentive and helpful with a ready smile too

Nice traditional pub, good food and friendly service, highly recommend 👍

Went here while on holiday, we were looking for a good pub with good food nothing fancy and came across this pub. Booked a table at short notice for two families and they fit us in. Food was really good and service was probably some of the best I've known very friendly and attentive, would visit again
