Prince Of Wales in Oxford

Previously been here and the food and service was good....today an absolute nightmare. Service was poor to say the least and the food was average at best. Bar staff did not know what they were doing, food orders apparently not received in the kitchen and waited almost an hour for main meals to arrive. Highly unlikely to be returning...this is from someone likes to look for the positives.

Very very disappointing today. Booked for 10 people. 3 of us went up to order food at same time with same table number and they knew we were altogether. 4 starters were ordered , 2 came out and waited another twenty minutes for other 2 after we had to ask. 6 mains came out at same time and again we had to wait for 4 and ask quite a few times. One person wanted a pudding, went up to order to be old chef was on a break so couldn't order it. People who had the beef were very disappointed, fatty, chewy and overdone. On menu says served pink!! This was for my mums birthday as this pub is local to her. We definitely won't be going again as no apology or offer of a free drink for the poor service.

Absolutely nightmare! We were waiting for our food for 1h40min on Sunday. We ordered at 5pm, we got our food (not much selection either) at 6.40pm. Never again!!!

Came to enjoy a Sunday roast with the family, booked a table for 6 adults and 3 kids. Roast took quite a while to come out but was nice when it arrived. Ordered dessert and waited 30 minutes for some, including just one scoop of ice-cream for a toddler, when the final dessert arrived 45 minutes later we were informed that our table was booked and would be needed, this made our last diner feel rushed. I understand that the place is busy on a Sunday but if service is slow that is not our fault.

Newly reopened, definitely an improvement

The Prince of Wales on Horspath Road in Oxford is an absolute must-visit! The food is fantastic - every dish is cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. Whether you're in the mood for a classic pub grub or something a bit more adventurous, you won't be disappointed. The service is top-notch. The staff are friendly, attentive, and go the extra mile to ensure you have a wonderful dining experience. A special shoutout to Ana and Bruno, who are the most welcoming and accommodating hosts I've ever met. Their warm hospitality truly makes the place feel like home. If you're looking for a great meal and even better company, look no further Prince if Wales is the place!

Had the burgers as part of the 2 for 1 deal on Tuesdays - they were fantastic! Food came out pretty quickly too and service was really great.

Great place, food lovely and great atmosphere

Dear owners am sorry I didn't meet you as my sister did the arrangements. We held our mother's wake here. The food was fantastic and brilliant for the price. You were all so kind and understanding. You went out of your way to help us at such a distressing time. I would like whole heartedly to thank you all for making our day just that little bit easier. I look forward to meeting you when I eventually go out again. I would definitely recommend this pub ro anyone. Thanks again x

Overall it was a good experience for a Sunday night.

Very nice, family-friendly pub with some good food!

A end of day with a great Company

We watched a cup final here with our family. The service was brilliant ( the result was good too!). I had a decent steak and ale pie. The childrens meals are verye reasonable and were enjoyed by my kids. Lovely friendly pub. Looking forward to the next football game we can watch here over a meal.

My friend in secondary lives here and I tasted everything and I loved it

Today we had Sunday roast at this lovely pub! Fantastic food and service and very good value for money. We'll definetely come back.

Excellent pub was on work do very good food and atmosphere

Very friendly staff and very good pub food.The interior is very clean and tidy and well worth a visit to see how much this local pub has improved.

Working for the ambulance service can be hard to find somewhere to get a decent hot meal, let alone one that you can order and ready to collect when you arrive.. The roast dinner was hot , well presented and perfectly cooked.... Will definitely be back !!

I was there with a few friends for my 60th I enjoyed it The young piano player was good too

The Mac and cheese is something to behold. Proper comfort food, served hot and delicious 🤤

Decided to go to the Prince of Wales. Wanted to see what the pub looked like now it's been renovated. Very nice decor. Will definitely visit again. Have been again and had a meal, very nice.

Mike is my school friend so WWW👌

Delicious food, lovely atmosphere. We really enjoyed our lunch. Thank you!

We had never been to this pub before-I only chose it as it was a halfway meeting point so my brother could drop off my parents to travel back with me.The pub we usually use was closed...their loss but P.O.W gain as we will definitely be using them from now on! I almost forgot to take a photo of my meal...Halloumi & Avocado salad ..which was delicious.(Please note the photo is after I had started to tuck in!) My parents & brother chose food from the Senior menu which they all enjoyed.Good portion sizes and well presented. We received great service from landlords/hosts Bruno & Anna...at the bar & in the restaurant..nothing was too much trouble-they even remembered me phoning prior to our visit to make sure they were open. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and we got the impression it was a really well cared for & well run pub....hence the 5 stars! There is only 1 problem....its too far away to be our local!! We al agreed that we wished we had a pub like this on our doorstep... Hopefully we can visit again when I next collect my parents for a holiday with us!

Ana and her team are amazing Catered for an outside function The buffet options are awesome Good value for money and great quality. Thank you all

I enjoyed my dinner there, live music, helpful waiters.

Excellent food with very polite and attentive staff. Pub decor is outstanding. A hidden gem!!!

Lovely pub. Great food. Friendly staff. Great landlords

I love the bar decor. I want to visit soon to delight myself with the beautiful dishes

The bar service was good and everything was fine at the bar side. The food was really tasty, it was like home cooking. The only negative comment I have would be about the uncle that is the chef I think! His attitude towards his customers suck. Basically he doesn't know the value or any customer service skills at all ( bit rude personally ) apart from that his cooking is top notch plus charges too much. Everything else is 👍

Came to Oxford for a 2 month holiday with my mum and son, the Prince of Wales was local to where we were staying. This was our first English pub experience and wow! It kept us coming back for more. My mum ordered the fish and chips and rates it highly. They have a choice kids menu with lots of choice options! My son ordered the fish fingers and was obsessed 🤩 it came with corn and hot chips. I would recommend any of the chicken dishes especially the hot honey burger 🤤. This pub is dog friendly and would always offer water to our puppy. We would love to say thank you to all the staff that work there in particular Tom and the owner Ana! You made our pub experience really warm and welcoming. If/when we come back we will definitely be calling in. Can’t recommend this enough A++ - Leah, Debbie & Kereama

Wonderful and comfortable updated pub. Excellent value food and beer and friendly service.

If you are looking for the perfect english bar in oxford, you just find it! Food, beers perfect, and also the staff is really good. Tank you

Friendly service and atmosphere, food was lovely, will definitely go again.

I couldn't say a single negative about the Prince of Wales! The Staff are 10/10, every single one of them is super friendly, very attentive, and make you feel at home. The food is extremely well priced, and fantastic quality! The locals are also incredibly nice, and the atomsphere is 10/10, whether its a quiet day, a busy night, or one of there events. Honeslty you won't regret giving this place a little visit. Ana & Bruno, thank you for your amazing hospitality so far!

Staff super friendly and welcoming. Venue is really clean & nice. Food is fantastic! We held an event here and they went above and beyond for it, so much we came back the next day for a Great Sunday roast!

Lovely pub!! I came in at lunchtime today for a meal with my mum and the staff were so welcoming and lovely. The food was great too and such big portions!! We will definitely be returning again soon :)

Great makeover to the pub great menu great atmosphere. The landlord and lady have made a huge difference to the place and are welcoming. Recommend it to anyone

Love it under new management,great food,best service and nice atmosphere

Have to wait 5 minutes to be served....only for drinks.

Been here several times since it reopened last year. Absolutely love it! Great food and really reasonably priced. Lovely staff as well.

Posting on behalf of my family. We held a wake at the pub, Anna the landlady & her team were amazing. So thoughtful, kind & caring & we were catered for extremely well. The variety of food made for us was superb quality & the pricing was very reasonable for our gathering. The surroundings were very discreet & comfortable. Anna went above & beyond with our family & guests. We have since returned for lunch & had a delicious sharing platter & drinks. The quality is top class. Highly recommend. Very family orientated.

Nice place, lovely friendly owners and dog friendly. Recommended for a coffee too as they have milk alternatives 😁

Enjoyed a good family lunch today. Nice decor. Very clean. Good kids' menu. Good welcome from Ana.

Has to be one of the best pubs around now it's been refurbished. Great range of beers. It will always be an Irish pub so a great pint of Guinness is guaranteed.

We had a family event there, the staff were awesome and put out some really good food and provided a nice atmosphere for us all. Highly reccommended

Dean the DJ was incredible. Made my night. So fun.

Dean the dj made my night Much love

Dean the DJ Tuesday night karaoke, he's a legend well recommend

Dean the DJ made my night. His energy and character makes any night into the best night out in oxford.

Dean the DJ is a beast he made my night

Had a fantastic night friendly staff music was brilliant

The people were friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. The areas were clean and hygienic. Would recommend.

Waited over 40 minutes for the food to turn up and it was cold when it arrived, the staff was very rude to the customer, food wasn’t cooked enough made me feel very sick

Very welcoming staff. We sat outside with the dogs but it is a dog friendly pub. Freshly prepared food reasonably priced. Thank you 🙂

Thank you soo much had a roast dinner was so busy and still great service and food

Good friendly welcome, recommend it.

Well one thing I have learned is there are lots of Prince of Wales but this one is indeed one of the best , I was introduced by two friends and we all found the food was excellent and the staff very helpful, will definitely reccomend this to all my family and friends

We have eaten here a few times, the food is good quality, would definitely recommend. Thank you Ana & Bruno you are both very welcoming.

Called in the Prince tonight thank you to the staff and locals Rocket ,Ken,Rabbit, Bob,Banner thanks

I received a lovely welcome for my two dogs and I at The Prince of Wales pub in Horspath road, Cowley, today. They even provided a bowl of water for the dogs. The pub has been recently refurbished. There is a nice seating area outside, too, which will be good in summer. There is a park nearby on Horspath road with a children's playground and large enough for a quick dog walk. The pub is a 10 minute walk from Marsh Park and around 15-20 minutes from Brasenose Woods over the bypass, where you can continue to walk up to Shotover nature reserve.

Great gluten free menu! Family friendly

Great pub, great food, great atmosphere.

Had a nice family catch up, lovely roast dinner and a good selection of beers for the men. Helpful, friendly staff, always feel welcome! We will come back again!

What a lovely find will definitely go again. Food good and landlady really lovely and friendly.

Sunday Roast is a must have on their menu!!!... thank me later

Excellent food & very welcoming owners & bar staff, great refurbishment, would definitely revisit

My partner and I popped in for lunch with our 2 year old between hospital visits. We’re both pescatarian and I’m coeliac too. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful and kind! We will definitely go back again! Big thank you to them!

I've lived in the neighbourhood for the last 8 years. We'd been to the Prince of Wales once in that time, and didn't go back again. I'd watched the news about the renovation and refurbishment with interest, and went for the first time tonight. They've done an excellent job with the renovations, it's modern, clean, lots more space and I'm thrilled we have somewhere on our doorstep to go and have a drink. Staff are lovely and whilst the food is Greene King basic fare it's priced reasonably and perfectly nice. So pleased and strongly recommend!

Grand reopening of The Prince on my birthday so double celebrating!! Decor and update looks amazing and everything reasonably priced.

First time visit, went to a 60th birthday do.

The Roast dinner is faultless, highly recommend! Keep up the good work 👍🏼

Friendly staff, lovely Sunday roast for really good price and very good beer indeed

Had a great meal, drink and game of darts tonight. Friendly staff. Amazing home made food, great value!

Friendly staff and a nice pint of estrella-a little pricey though!

Greene king pub. Good outdoor seating, friendly locals.

Lovely local pub with warm Staff

Very impressed with the control of people using the pub and the measures put in place for covid.

Very very happy with the food and service will definitely be coming back and I will recommend to my friends.

The staff were friendly and the food was good, but the table was not clean when we arrived and it didn't feel quite safe, given the coronavirus pandemic.

Their Sunday dinner was all fresh and tasty with good portion sizes. Definitely eat there again.

Very nice Sunday roast. Just love it ❤❤❤

Classic pub, friendly staff, good beers and fresh food 🍲

Great service great staff 10 out of 10

Fantastic Christmas Party (approx 30+ people), 5 star bar service , amazing dj, decent prices, function room spot on everything you need (separate entry, dance floor, toilets). You can book all package just call the pub and speak with a manager-great comunication btw. We will be back next year 👍

Nice place and friendly atmosphere
