Prince of Wales in Caerphilly

Great dtop for a drink whilst on a walk.

Went for a Tuesday taster in September. We didn’t pre-order so I claimed the last POW chicken while my husband had ham, egg and chips. Not only was the price (including an alcoholic drink) extremely good value for money but the food was stunning (not a word I use much). And the portions weren’t skimpy. Even the optional desserts were very reasonably priced. The Prince is perfectly placed to call in if you want a walk along the canal and fancy a drink with a beautiful view and they’re dog friendly

Have just left at 14:40 having order food at 12:45 and we never got our food. They appeared to have over stretched their capabilities for the kitchen and the woman was very cross when we asked for a refund and left. Not the place to go with family. The negatives certainly outweigh the positives for this place. Makes me really sad to write this as I’ve heard so many positives about this place but it falls sadly short.

I have not eaten there but I go alone with my 2 dogs and the staff are amazing

We always enjoy a trip to the Prince. Staff are very friendly, always a great atmosphere and good selection of drinks and occasionally food.

I didn't eat food, just stopped for a quick beverage, but a really lovely, welcoming atmosphere. Just off the canal walk and is dug friendly. I will definitely stop for longer next time.

Some of the best views you can get with a lovely pint. Just off the canal in Risca. Take a stroll, spot a heron or kingfisher then reward yourself with a beer whilst looking over some of the best views we have to offer over this way

Love this pub, great staff and amazing views

Lovely pub and people, bike and dog friendly which is perfect being located next to the canal.

What a find. Outstanding pub right on the canal. Faultless service and a lovely view.

Great view nice people good coffee

Enjoyed a lovely pint here in the sun and would definitely come back here again

The coffee was just the ticket at 1.50 a pop

Lovely little local , brilliant events

Didn't have food just coffee, made to feel welcome, nice open fire with very pleasant staff. Old local pub 👍 Animals welcome.

Great atmosphere and a fab place. Never get bored of visiting this pub.

Great pub, with friendly staff in a beautiful location. The canal alongside, (The Crumlin Arm of the Monmouthshire & Brecon canal) is perfect for a leisurely stroll, taking in the views, or more actively jogging or cycling. Great food in a lovely pub, with views to match. We've visited The Prince of Wales in Risca, (sitting nicely near the bank of the Crumlin arm of the Monmouthshire & Brecon canal) many times for a drink, either inside, or out in their garden area, depending on the weather. We in the county of Caerphilly are in lockdown at present, so wanted to eat out somewhere local & decided to give the Prince a try. This turned out to be a good move - we already knew that Helen, Jason and the team provided a very friendly, relaxing pub environment, but the food was a real bonus! They sensibly, (in our opinion) offer a small menu of meal options, but that means they can do them all really well, (amazing when you see the size of the kitchen!). We opted for their homemade Thai curries (fish and chicken versions) which were both cooked perfectly - great flavours and the rice was spot-on! After that we bravely attacked their jaffa-topped cake, (probably called something totally different ☺) which was so good, we had to eat the lot!. A bottle of wine, very helpful staff, a warm, friendly environment & fine valley views helped to make it the perfect visit. We'll be back.

Met up with some old friends for a quiet drink, great atmosphere and warming fire in the bar. Didn't have any food, but have been told it's great.

Traditional pub with great staff and management. A very friendly and warm atmosphere helped in the winter months by a wood burning stove. Wye valley HPA on hand pull is excellent. Thoroughly recommend.

Cheese and wine nite very well organised they had a second night

Great pub along the canal with cracking views popular with bikers and walkers, didn't star rate food as we only had a few pints whilst on a bike ride.other customer's food looked good thou.

Great fish and chips on Friday night excellent service

Went to rum and reggae night. Had a great time .good fun pub to spend with friends .music was really good 👍

A lovely pub to have a drink at when cycling/walking/... along the canal. I've only been here twice and both times drank a lager of their recommendation with great appreciation. I expected slightly cheaper prices because of the location but given the fact you can pay by card for starters and with ample seating area outside, toilets on ground level, and many more extra benefits; the price is well worth it. Very nice view on a good day.

Went to a wedding at this Pub of a couple who have been dear to me for a very long time. The food produced by the chef was amazing. No plastic ham or beef here. Proper cuts of succulent, tender meat, melting in the mouth served with an array of delicious accompaniments. The atmosphere in this family run pub was amazing. The service provided by the staff was first class professional and delivered with a cheery smile. The views in the beer garden across the valley are stunning. "How Green Was My Valley" comes to mind. Come try it for yourself. You won't be disappointed

Out for a drink on the canal bank overlooking the hills. This venue is well worth a visit

Lovely stop off during bike ride along canal, lovely valley view.

Fantastic open mic evening. Well done to all concerned. Greatly talented people.

Great atmosphere and great value.

My sister managed to get us booked in for a roast dinner here and it was definitely worth it! Food was cooked lovely, beef was delicious, the service was brilliant and the view is beautiful. We will definitely be coming back!

Friendly pub just by a canal walk. If you like a good old lager, get a pint of Staropramen, it's the best in the UK

OK great views but that's it staff unfriendly we found

What a delightful pub a great selection of drinks served by very pleasant staff. The view over the valley is stunning and there's plenty of outside seating.

Literally the best service and friendliest pub I've ever been to

Well what can I say absolutely fabulous staff all round and service was brilliant food amazing glyn loved it thank you so much we be back x

Always a friendly welcome. Traditional pub one half, modern bar the other. Great choice of drinks. Lovely views. 5 stars

Great location, convenient for a walk on the canal. Have been in on several occasions and the staff have always been excellent.

Lovey Sunday lunch and dog welcome in the bar, catered for vegeterian and celiac diet.

Beautiful homemade Sunday lunch. It was so good we didn't even have chance to take any photos. Absolutely gorgeous. 💯 %%

Very friendly & welcoming with the best views in wales!

Stunning location along the canal with beautiful views. We have been for curry/pie nights also for their roast dinner which is delicious. Great value for money, friendly and welcoming staff. Would highly recommend!

Spent a lovely evening at a friend's mums 90th birthday at the Prince, staff were brilliant, buffet was amazing, just a fabulous night...thank you x

Enjoyed a good pint with a good view. Lovely place to visit for an hour or two.

Great beers, great atmosphere, attracts a lovely local range of people. Best pub ever!

Friendly, buzzing and a wonderwall where you can sit outside and admire the fab views.

Fantastic pub with the best views! Great staff and the best food,always something 'going off' for the guests! With a beautiful self contained air b&b, give it a try you won't be disappointed 😉

Fabulous walk from Pontllanfraith to the Prince. Warm welcome and grateful Guinness & Cider for wife & I. Love the Prince and wish it was more local.

Very friendly dog friendly aswell just off the canal so very easy to pop in have a really good drink with a bite to eat before you make your walk back plenty of seating inside and outside you wont be disappointed

Called in for a few beers while out on the mountain bike. Had a great time.

What a lovely gem of a pub highly recommend this place, great staff dig friendly and good drinks for decent prices plenty of seating in and out doors great food too

Fantastic location, great staff, excellent service, great beer and food.

Stayed here for two nights for the Rugby in February 22, facilities were fantastic and the bar and its staff were incredible. Will absolutely visit again should the chance arise

A lovely pub along the Brecon and Monmouthshire canal. The views are stunning on a sunny day and there is plenty of space both indoors and outdoors.

Best pub. Very clean, and very nice people there.

Price of Wales was a fantastic short let all brand new on top of a community pub with lovely locals with great mountain top views, local to amenities ,Tesco ,KFC,etc and great for pets with a long 16km canals walk right beside the pub from Newport to some other location. Lovely place in total.

Friendly staff, tasty food and big portions! Fantastic views.

Friendly barman had a lovely chat of them plus having Estrella Galicia & Rattlers on tap is a huge plus. Lovely place to go to

Great friendly canalside pub, popular with locals and mountain bikers. Good selection of beers, ciders including bottled ones. Plenty of space outside with great views over the valley to Machen mountain.

Wonderful view, great beer, food and staff Love the place!

Dog friendly amazing pub. Great choice of beer and wine. Perfect stop when you walk near the canal

Brilliant staff brilliant venue Love the place

We got there before they even opened and they were nice enough to make us coffee before the set up and we settled once they were open and running. Super nice spot to stop when walking along the canals

4 of us had a fantastic Sunday lunch here yesterday , staff were very friendly, great service, very nice meals + we will be be back

Great Sunday lunch, all food really fresh and tasty, great portion size, friendly staff, what more could you ask. Highly recommended, would suggest you book due to its popularity. Look forward to returning. Thanks

Only stopped for cider and crisps but stunning scenery and a sun trap!

Very friendly and helpful people. Nice pub beside a canal with views. Ideal for folk looking for a nice walk and refreshments afterwards.

This pub is a great place, family friendly, a real locals retreat, Richard is a good host we always enjoy our time here.

Lovely food and reasonable price. Nice staff , I would recommend

Cracking Sunday dinner. First vist,certainly won't be last, great service

Lovely staff, friendly atmosphere and beautiful buffet. Highly recommended

Visited the Prince of Wales for the first time yesterday with friends for Sunday lunch. We recenived a warm welcome and was seating in a lovely little extention with beautiful views of Machan mountain. Food was really tasty and the portions were generous. Great value for money. Looking forward to visiting you again.

Like a mirage at the end of the 14 locks walk. An oasis for a man with a raging thirst.

Great pub with a lovely selection of beer, delicious food, friendly staff and cracking views of the surrounding valley.

Lovely pub with a good food menu and great views

Lovely meal, cooked to perfection. Reasonably priced. The only negative comment is that there was a limited menu.

Sadly not a good experience. Turned up on time for a meal for my wife's birthday. Ordered drinks and asked to order but we were still waiting for someone. They arrived 10 mins later. Nearly an hour later still hadn't ordered even though we had asked the staff three times that we wanted to order. Patience ran out and we ended up down the local curry house. To be fair if we knew they didn't have a kids menu we wouldn't have arranged to go there in the first place even though the pub states it's family friendly. The drinks were nice but when others coming in after us are eating and we still haven't ordered and continually being ignored it simply isn't good enough. Great view though.

In my opinion the Prince is without doubt the best pub in Risca

Brilliant local, great staff, great selection of drinks and lovely atmosphere and views

Excellent Sunday lunch Staff are exceedingly Friendly The food is excellent And the View it's amazing Well done If there was six stars I would give it

Lovely place for a beer staff awsum highly recommended

Beautiful view and a crisp, cold Rattler

Nice pub when you find it! Tucked away but great food, nice atmosphere.

You couldn't find more friendly service here, the lady couldn't do enough for you

First time I have been to the pub since covid. What a lovely pub. Friendly helpful staff. Lovely outside sitting area. They are a QR code on the tables meaning you can order and pay online and your drinks are brought to you. I think I have found my new local.

Dog friendly, good food, excellent service

Nice outdoor area, friendly pub with lovely views

Nice pint, Nice view. What more do you want?

Good pub good views good people

Very nice place. Friendly staff

A traditional pub with a small bar and modern lounge/function room. Two beer gardens with spectacular views of countryside. Pub is next to a canal too. Variety of beers, lagers, ciders on sale. Meals are also served (at particular times) which usually have great reviews. A great landlord and landlady with friendly efficient staff.

Arrived at the prince of wales for a quick refreshments stop on our cycle ride. When we got there the smell of the roast dinner was lovely and was gutted to be told they had just finished serving lunch. However, thanks to a very friendly and helpful chef he said he could rustle up a bit of 'left over' dinner for us which we were so grateful for. He was a bit concerned that it wouldn't be good enough for us bit I have to say is was amazing with really tasty roast veg and cauliflower cheese. There was a lovely friendly atmosphere at the pub and will definitely return for another roast dinner. Thank you

Absolute gem !! So accommodating, friendly and nothing was too much trouble, really relaxed and beautiful pub. Food and drink top quality, will be back !

Top pub - beautiful setting, good beers, great service. Cheers!

Great local Dog friendly, great service, great food. Definitely recommended.

Great beer and service...ALWAYS!
