Prince Of Wales in South Oxfordshire

The dish was described as a toastie. It was a slice of uncooked cheese on top of a lukewarm sandwich. Very disappointing and unappetising. The accompanying small dish of tomato soup was OK. The place is nicely appointed and welcoming.

Very small dinner plates lead to undersized portions

Had the Sunday roast and the food was great. There was a mix up on the reservation. Originally it was for only 2 people but tried adding 3 more at late notice, and got declined(they were very busy) But then received an email saying they’d updated there system for 5 people. I should have rang to be fair and confirmed, so my bad! It turned out it was a slight glitch there end and was still only for 2 people. Anyway, they were very understanding and accommodating and immediately went to work and squeezed us all in. Thx v much team, and will definitely be back.

Good atmosphere. Came looking for a nice pint and a good seat to watch the rugby. I got that and great service too.

great place for a pint after work!

Great pub for having a pint with mates, dinner with the family and definitely for watching sports. No other pub in Didcot competes!

Great place to watch live football

A great place to meet with friends and watch the football

Been in today for a meal great food and lovely staff

I went in for a meal and the food was lovely. Chicken was cooked beautifully. Would definitely recommend either for food or just to eat out with friends :)

Popped in after work for a quick drink. As per usual, very polite staff and Naomi as welcoming as always. Andy the landlord always a joy.

Decent little boozer with plenty of tvs to watch the football

We had a fantastic night at the Prince! Great service and we had a fantastic meal. Will return soon.

I was really disappointed with my meal. I ordered the festive meal which was probably the worst I've ever had. The meat really didn't taste great, the one stuffing ball was like a bullet and none of us could get a knife though it. The carrots were like rubber so not sure what they did to those. I couldn't finish the meal. The waiter did light the candle for me which I appreciated, but the pub was really cold. My two family members had different burger meals and the buns were carbonated. It doesn't take an expert chef to see that and put it right. We won't be going back.

Burger bun was burnt. Tiny onion rings. Place was freezing cold. Not the best trip. The 4 star rating is very generous.

Had a burger the bun was black from over toasting and contest equally poorly cooked. Other members had the same problems. We as s family could not understand how anyone could serve food this way.

*Burger bun toasted to black carbon. *Chicken over fried so very dry. *Other fried bits almost unable to be cut with a knife due to over cooking. *Room cold. * All members of the family had to keep coats on. * Open fire smoking into the pub * All members of the family had poor quality meals.

Staff working here are lying thieves. Gonna sound like a weird review but my food order got delivered by accident to prince of wales tonight. Bar staff said order was theirs and when the delivery driver went back to pick it up and bring to me instead the bar staff had eaten it🐷 Clearly food isn’t up to standard here if their own bar staff are eating external food deliveries that wasn’t even theirs🤣🤣. Hate to imagine what else they lie about and steal at that place, really hope my pizza was delicious guys!

Visited the pub just for drinks. Nice atmosphere. Great service.

Very welcoming pub. The waiter was very friendly and polite. Great beers. Will come back again!

The Prince of Wales never disappoints- the food is excellent quality and the ambience is chilled and relaxed. The waiting staff are the stand outs though- they are friendly and attentive and give the vibe of nothing is too much trouble. A special mention to Fiona who served our table last Thursday with humour, charm and professionalism. An asset to the team indeed.

Lovely food plentiful and a decent prices , nice eating area , drinks reasonably priced and a good selection of wines . The area lots of space and clean

A traditional style pub next to the Station. Very friendly staff and a good selection of beverages await the tired traveler. The atmosphere is very casual and pleasant. The convenience of its location adds to the appeal. Recommended for a relaxing drink with the locals.

Lovely visit. Only criticism is that not enough veg or gravy with Sunday roast. Chicken roast was excellent but beef. 3 very thin small slices, really not enough. However food excellent quality.

Brilliant pint if you’re waiting for the train 🍺

Great service and good before getting the train.!

Enjoyed a wonderful birthday lunch in their private dining room. We had to pre-select our food which we thought was a bit of a faff but actually worked out well as we got to enjoy our time without heads buried in menus! Service was very attentive, food and wine was delicious and I would not hesitate to come back here for a celebration. Thank you POW team x

Came for a drink, left with a huge smile. The lovely Chelsea is so very warm and welcoming. Thank you for the great service- you made my evening x

Visited here on the way to a football match in Southampton Very friendly lady behind the bar Food was lovely. Best we’ve ever had in a Greene King

A fantastic pub with great food and really lovely staff! Thank you so much!

Love this place. Opposite the station, great location. Food & beer always delicious

Fantastic food and great beer. Great experience definitely worth a visit if you're in the area

Heard the bell for my food 20min later I got cold burger cold onion rings. rather than make me a fresh plate they decided to microwave it including bread and salad bread was soggy greasy burger was ruined I paid nearly £20 for basically a microwaved dinner

Venue is lovely and the food was brilliant. However: On ordering drinks at the bar, the bar was quite busy. Fine. 2 staff members making drinks. Everyone waiting patiently. A member of staff comes behind the bar and in a raised voice says ‘it’s two queues, one for that till and one for the other’ then goes off. We just carried on as normal and ignored him, the people waiting the longest who were stood in the middle were grateful we ignored him! Our food took over an hour to come out. We would have appreciated some warning or an update as we had a 4 year old and a 1 year old with us who were getting very hungry and very fed up with waiting. A bit unfair to make a 4 year old wait that long. There was one waitress working very hard but the others seemed more concerned with chatting. When we asked for help, for example asking for dessert spoons we were greeted with smiles. However, my husband saw them clearly say to each other ‘you go over, no you go over, no you’ when we tried to get attention from the wait staff. If we went back it would be just for drinks and the food service was a bit of a disaster which is a shame. Oh by the way, the loos are FABULOUS!!!

Amazing service, food, and drinks for a great price

Stopped off for a quick pint. Ended up staying. Atmosphere was great, food was delicious and washed down with a beautiful pint of Deuchars. Will be back. Thanks.

We (3 adults, 1 teen and 1 child) went this afternoon to the Prince of Wales in Didcot (opposite the train station) and had the worst experience. Drinks, they didn’t have any soft drinks other than appetiser, Fanta and j20 (not even on the tap). Our food took about 40 minutes and was defiantly not worth the wait. Roast dinners didn’t include greens and was not half a chicken as advertised. Chicken was dry. Barely any meat on the bones and the potatoes looked microwaved. The Yorkshire puddings were tiny, the gravy was way too strong and the carrots were dried out, my mum couldn’t eat any of it and I only just managed to scrape some chicken off the bone. After speaking to the server we got it knocked off the total but defiantly will not return.

Been in before my train. Staff are absolutely lovely and food was great!

Overall our visit was disappointing, there were a couple of menu items unavailable, then two of us were served with the wrong starters. Following that we ordered chunky chips with our main course and were served with fries after we had finished our meals. We were not charged for the fries and the wine was taken off our bill which was a nice gesture but this is the 4th time of visiting the Prince of Wales and I have never had a really good experience. They need to train their serving staff better and generally get their act together.

First visit since the refurb.. really impressive. Luxurious surroundings ( Toilets very boutique hotel).. Warm welcome.. great service and delicious lunch.

Had the best meal last night so thought I would write a review absolutely brilliant thank you so much

Food took more than 1 hour to arrive the pub was basically empty. The meat didnt taste fresh and good definitely dont recommend the burger.

Great place, had a few on christmas really recommend this pub. All the staff are lovely!!

As always great food. Went Today. It was very busy due to the local Truck Festival. The 2 barmen were brilliant especially when electric went out. The boys were certainly kept very busy with food and drink service. I love this pub

The food was poor - overcooked burger, tough pork belly, stale Yorkshire puddings, a veggie "haggis" wellington which would take some describing, uninspiring salad dish. We'd heard good reviews but wouldn't recommend. The service was good though.

Had the flat iron steak which was bland and tasteless,chips were good. Good selection of beers. It’s a greene king brewery pub. Outside and inside seating. Live sports on tv. Never usually that busy, i only use it when I’m getting off the train at parkway.

Good place to go with friends and family . Also very convenient if you fancy a pint while waiting for a train or bus highly recommend

Good value lunch time menu. The pub is well decorated but is always quiet when we come here to eat lunch. Maybe it's busier in the evening.

Great food, great value for money and the bar staff are friendly and helpful! If you’re in Didcot I definitely recommend the Prince!

We were there for my husbands birthday and was wonderful. Service and food were amazing. Thank you Prince of Wales. We will be coming back

Came down Saturday night for the band who was absolutely amazing, great song dancing and brilliant atmosphere. Went with my mates and family the staff was welcoming and friendly would definitely come back again.

So welcoming and great drinks. Would recommend going here for a couple drinks

Drop by whenever I go through Didcot, always has good beer on tap and good guest ales that I don't see elsewhere. Servers are nice and landlord is really pleasant to talk to. Good ambience if you want so drinks or watch the sports.

Great time at the Prince of Wales watching the Euro group stage game on a big screen (England vs Slovenia). The sharing plates are hugely generous, and the Karage chicken is superb. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. We're definitely coming back for more food and fun!

Visit the Price of Wales regularly. Staff are always very friendly and helpful. The food is always lovely. Great variety of food and drink available.

Whilst the pub has been refurbished to a very high standard it’s a shame the experience and service has not been improved. Booked the orangery but had to make a bit of a fuss to actually be seated in there. Came Sunday evening no burgers either meat or vegan and no roast beef left. The vegetables served with the roast beef were questionable too. It was like they made the best of what they had. Was given a free bottle of Prosecco but to be honest we came for our sons 21st and it did spoil it for him. Third time we have eaten there and been disappointed . Won’t be back in a hurry!

Just popped in for a pint and for some food the Prince of wales is lovely foods always great n the service n landlords are as friendly as ever staff are always on point would definitely recommend

Used to be a great pub, but seems to be deteriorating. The place looks dated and not massively clean. It was a friday night, and they had a live band on, but there was still only a handful of customers, so that says it all. Disappointing.

Food was great staff knew what they were doing and good selection of drinks and kid friendly!

The food and atmosphere really good live music good night out staff plesnet and welcoming

Great in here having a nice pint and laugh

the food and drink was spot on, super friendly staff too

The refurbished pub is amazing interior design is second to none. Food and service very good.

Went out for the football atmosphere was amazing custom service was top notch and the food was unreal!!

Went today had a very nice burger will be back there again

Always an amazing and welcoming place when ever I go and cater for everyone when ever possible.

Thanks for requesting a review - this was our first return to the Prince of Wales following the refurbishment, visiting with my wife, daughter, and granddaughter (15 months) and grandson (2 months). The atmosphere was excellent, clean, comfortable and well fitted. Food (menu variety and preparation) was very nice apart from the muscles which was a real shame - overcooked with overpowering sauce strangely with bread at the bottom of the muscles dish to soak up the sauce making it very thick. Service - very friendly staff, but sadly we waited over one hour for the main to arrive which with a 15month-old was very unfortunate. This is really sad as we just happened to be the first to arrive and order.

I am coeliac you have a good GF menu completely spoiled by careless staff/kitchen mixing up the order and serving me someone elses meal. Although noticed quickly I had eaten some. The replacement meal then also came out unmarked from others. Most kitchens use different coloured plates or flags. Generally poor service too.

We met some old friends, travelling by train, for lunch and shared a selection small plates from the main menu, which were excellent. The pub was pretty much empty so good for talking to friends .

Food good but potions small on nibbles and stix.

We were served by a lovely waitress called Abbey/Abbie? Who is off to Bournemouth university after her A levels finish to study Paramedical Science. Very attentive and polite. Food was very good too as was the wine. Please pass on our thanks.

Our usual visit to this friendly pub. Ordered Sunday roast for myself and share plate for daughter. As usual was good. Then ordered Sunday roast to take away home for husband, who ate the lot. Love this place.

Great pub proper old school 90s feel very friendly bar staff friendly good selection of beers at reasonable price the manager a Yorkshire man super friendly and welcoming took the inconvenience away from train delays to the point I didn't get the first one home I stayed and got a later one chef was good and made nice food too I'd recommend it
