The Prince of Wales in Oxford

Enjoyed a pint outside mid afternoon Very relaxing

Had A family party here last weekend and it was amazing, staff were always ready to help, nothing was too much bother and the food was gorgeous x Thankyou to all the staff x

Recently underwent an extensive refit yet totally overlooked the need for disabled facilities. Wheelchair users certainly not welcome here!

Lovely old village pub. Staropramen on tap, a good pint 👌👍👏

Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here last week. Friendly welcome, cosy dining room, and really good food at great prices; I enjoyed wonderfully fresh and skillfully cooked fish and chips, with an absolutely delicious curry sauce on the side. Recommended.

Lovely welcome from Sage who made are visit 5*. We had the fish and chips which were very tasty, served on hot plates👍will return soon

Popped in for nibbles and drinks, wow, amazing food and great service

Amazing pub! Great food at a fair price! If all pubs were like this the world would be perfect!

First time we ate here since the new landlords have taken over the management of the pub and I can tell you that the food is at its best, supersedes the quality of the previous owners'. They are also very welcoming and they work hard to make this pub extraordinary.

What can I say...these guys are fantastic. We were there on a work trip and there was a big group of us. Although they weren't serving food officially, they still went all out and sorted a hot/cold selection for us. When went back a couple of weeks later and had food from the menu and it was amazing... The beer selection is great and the staff are brilliant!

This is our local pub and we’ve been countless times since it reopened! The chef really knows what they’re doing and the staff are all so lovely 🥰 it’s our favourite place to go for a date night or take our family now! Keep it up 😊

Top notch Sunday Roast - great Waddy's beers.

Lovely friendly place, great service with good food & beer. Very dog friendly, too. Well worth a visit.

After is lovely (and much needed) refurb we have eaten at the POW twice in recent weeks - once at the weekend and once mid week. Both times were superb. Mid week I had the ox cheek which, as many say, was fab. My husband had the pie which is Matts speciality dish I believe and understandably so as it was great too. The Sunday roast (beef and pork) was delicious too and everything was perfectly cooked (rare beef - yum). A small observation - if you would prefer not to have the gravy pre poured on your beef as I would have, stipulate that. They did provide extra in a little jug but I would have preferred to make the choice myself. The staff are lovely - efficient and smiley. Very good value too. Thoroughly recommend a visit!

This pub was a short walk from our hotel so was the perfect location. A great selection of well kept beers and wonderful food made it the perfect evening experience. My wife had the Ox cheek which was beautifully cooked and I had the fish and chips which was fantastic, but be warned also very hot and massive. Very friendly staff. The only thing I would say was it had a very slightly local ( your not from a round here) feel to start with.

Really good meal, best pub food we have had for a very long time, well done, definitely recommend and we will be back soon, thank you

Walked down for a lovely dinner with my partner and our puppy. Had a beautiful meal, with a great selection of beers. We ordered ox cheek and a pork chop. The food was fantastic and inexpensive, and the renovations look great.

The new owners are really making a difference. The food was really very good. Felt like a homely meal with additional flair, good ingredients and more variety and originality than your usual pub. Good value too, with healthy options. I thoroughly enjoyed the arancini and pork chop on the bone.

First time in Oxford, and wanted a meal close to our hotel. The Prince of Wales didn’t disappoint. It’s a lovely, welcoming local pub that’s been newly redecorated. We both had the Chicken and mushroom pie, served with mash, gravy and red cabbage. Delicious.

Best pub meal I’ve ever had. Bartender was wonderful. Prices totally reasonable. A gem

When I realised the PoW had new tenants I was keen to return and I’m glad I did. There was a friendly welcome and the new decor is all lovely. It all feels very new so there are probably little things that still need sorting (like giving a jug of water for the table rather than individual glasses) or a little bit of table decoration like candles etc but the important things are all in place - good, friendly service and great food. The menu is excellent with a good range of meat, fish and plant - based options that are delicious enough to tempt meat eaters away. I had an arancini/parsnip purée starter and it was so delicious I could have had it again for a main course - but instead I had charred cauliflower with curried lentils - fab! I don’t remember what the wine selection was like because basically I had what my friend did but it was very nice! The bill was very reasonable. I’ve already booked to go back.

Really delicious food. We had fish and chips, braised ox cheeks and sea bream with minestrone. All really great. We will be back.

Lovely roast Sunday lunch .. all very tasty indeed , tasted fresh Made to feel welcome .. thank you

Wonderful lunch for 4 today, the food was so delicious, beautifully presented using top quality ingredients. It was excellent value for money and worth every single penny. As usual we were well looked after front of house by Sage who entertained us with her cheerfulness and outstanding service. Sage and Matthew, thank you for coming to Iffley. You deserve every success. Ann and Paul.

This is now a great pub again, fantastic beer great decor, friendly atmosphere and good food at nice prices, this will become a regular haunt, thank you

Excellent Food on their first night after refurbishing. The staff were excellent as was the food. Pork chop cooked to perfection as was the Risotto.

Wonderful delicious fresh meal. Best chops! Crab aranchini delicious. Fantastic. New management, friendly and lovely. , recurb scheduled for October 2023 and lovely to see local support. Will be back.

Brilliant food. Lovely young couple who have taken this pub under new management an have BIG plans. Lovely friendly staff. Great evening meal

Friendly stuff. yummy and sweet food. lovely service.

The most amazing real ales in oxford… and I love good ales, there is something magical about the cellar, thank you really yummy

Sage, Matt and their staff are doing a great job having recently taken over. The menu is innovative and very good. Today we shared: the courgette and cassoulet with mangetout and blue cheese dish, plus two starters (crab arancini and bacon and chilli scallops); followed by cheesecake. Delicious! Well worth a visit. The pub is due for a refurb in October. PS the fish and chips (on a previous visit) were also very good.

Booked on line for 60th birthday waited a long time for drinks two things not on menu cash machine did not work long wait to order food one costumer got charged three times on her card when the card machine did work in all was very upset so went back to my hotel

Booked for my 60th birthday waiting a long time for drinks then to be told two things not available then ordered food then the contactles machine did not work and one women got charged three times on her bank card not a happy 60th birthday

Enjoyed two meals here now, both of which were excellent. Fantastic selection of beers and dogs are allowed! Great food, great beer, and in beautiful Iffley.

Stopped at the Prince of Wales for diner with the family. We had a great time. The food was very good and the people behind the bar were very helpful and nice. Definitely worth a stop!!

Amazing Sunday lunch. Gorgeous desserts. The best roast I’ve ever had. We will be back. Thanks Matt & Sage

The strongest recommendation that I could ever offer! I booked two weeks ago to reserve a table for six, unfortunately one of us couldn't make the reservation and I can tell you that they definitely missed out on the best Sunday lunch going! I've spent more on Sunday lunch in the past but this is hands down the best Sunday roast I've had in recent memory! Brilliant value! Roast potatoes are often either crispy and bland or they're soggy and over-seasonsed, the potatoes on my plate tonight were a perfect level of crisp and the caliber of seasoning was second to none! I ordered the chicken which came with a brilliant array of vegetables and cauliflower cheese which was to die for! You can tell that their chef gives a lot of thought and care into their food. Even though I'm not a fan of gravy, the flavours complemented the dish meaning that I could forget I was consuming something I wouldn't normally eat! The front of house staff and their service was impeccable. They made us feel welcome and their attention to detail certainly didn't go unnoticed! I hope I can visit this pub again soon and try their standard menu in the middle of the week! A local gem I would highly recommend if you ever have the privilege of eating there!

Arriving at the pub, I was really hungry. Leaving I was not. A huge serving of fish&chips (I did order extra chips) made a difference. The chips were really good. The fish was fresh and a very rich serving. But partly because of a very generous battering, which was slightly overcooked to my taste. All in all a nice dinner at a reasonable price level.

Came here last night with the boy. He had fish and chips, I had mushroom linguine. They were both really good. Fish and chips really well cooked, the linguine were packed with lots of different varieties of mushrooms; everything extremely tasty. Service was great. The decor is a bit austere, but the owners have only just taken over, so hopefully will improve with time. We'll certainly be back.

A lovely welcome on arrival. The landlord and lady lady very friendly. The landlord is the head chef and his food is very nice. Well cooked and seasoned just right. Would highly recommend popping in for a drink and a bite too eat. Will definitely be going back to try some more of the menu.

We thought we'd support a new business. Empty pub with a few reserved signs. Lots of menus on the bar. "Oh, we can't serve food unless you've booked". Well, you could have put that on your website and other publicity! We left for somewhere that actually understands customer service. Very unimpressed.

Visited this new place (7pm Friday evening) under new management as they'd advertised the kitchen opening yesterday. We arrived and sat down in a half empty pub with some but not all tables reserved but lots available to be told we couldn't eat if we hadn't booked. Why would we? No menus on the website and no indication of requirement to book. I wish the new owners well but they need to do much better than this on customer service and communication.

Recently reopened pub. Looks very smart. Well-kept and reasonably priced Wadworth 6X.

Love this pub. Five minute walk from the river. Great atmosphere, lovely friendly service.

Went there for the opening, staff are committed to the place and very friendly! Well worth the walk from the river, cant reccomend enough. Excited to see what food they offer, zero on that as its only crisps atm

Prince of Wales is permanently closed. It shut its doors a few months ago.

Went yesterday and was all closed up, no signs or notices to say what’s going on, shame as not many pubs in the area open on a Monday

Recently renovated, absolutely beautiful pub. Loads of drinks selection and excellent food. Very clean and a nice interior

Drinks expensive, atmosphere clicky

A quaint pub by the iffley lock.

Super friendly pub unfortunately pub is closing today extremely sad staff were lovely enjoyed a walk and a few pints on our holiday good luck guys 🥰

We visited this place for dinner, since the refurb. The place looks amazing, the atmosphere is very friendly by all staff and they couldn’t be more helpful. We had dinner, cooked perfectly and so fresh tasting!! I felt very welcomed here, will definitely be returning and wish the new owners all the best. Such a great addition to the community.

Walked across Ifley lock and came across this little gem. Had a range of beers, lots of outside space, and lovely staff who made us and our dog very welcome. Definitely come back again to try out the food.

After a few months of being run by a quite dreadful landlord the Prince is now under the leadership of Julie who now has a very enthusiastic staff. On Sundy the Prince advetised a 'pop up restaurant, and my partner & I decided to give it a go. Only three roasts were available - Beef, Chicken and a vegetation option. I had the chicken while my partner chose the beef. What can I say? absoluly lovely, perfectly cooked, generous portions and at a very reasonable price (£16). We will be dining there again very soon. I would book a table as when word gets around about the return of great food, table will be hard to obtain. Rob & Zuzi

A bit expensive but good choice of beers and good atmosphere

Lovely food but was a long wait, bit too long for little kids

Called in at the Prince of Wales for a drink. Gill's pop up kitchen doing Sunday roasts. Two of us had chicken and one beef. Absolutely fantastic home cooked food. Will definitely be back and also intend to try their Saturday bar menu. Very nice...

Although the garden area could do with a good clean and a refreshing paint job, I can't fault the staff, service and beautiful spacious layout of the interior.

Lovely lady called Julie working, very good customer service and definitely knew her stuff! Very pleased with my experience.

Comfortable, probably very busy at times. Good selection of ale.

Terrible service ,no one behind the bar serving ,people stood waiting to get served, after nearly 10 minutes I left and so did a few other's most of the tables outside had not been cleaned away,won't be going back there agai

Large and airy, with great outdoor seating under the trees and a garden view, with well priced and tasty meals.

Went there to eat when we arrived there was only one girl serving. She was also bringing food out of kitchen helping the chef. When she eventually got back behind the bar the chef stood in the bar grumbling about having to work in a hot kitchen. After around 10 mins we were still about 4th in the queue one of the regulars said why doesn't the manager help apparently he was upstairs. I walked around to look for a menu in was hand written with writing a four year old would be ashamed of. Walked out never to return. On the up side there is a fantastic pub next to the canal only 5 mins walk away called isis farmhouse.

Very disappointed with the food Small portion of over fried fries Salad was just a boring garnish. Won't rush back.

Great place for a quick pint in the beautiful village of Iffley. Not too far from a bus stop and it has a carpark. Perhaps the best way to get to it is a stroll along the river and a waddle across the Weir.

Visited this lovely pub this evening whilst staying in Iffley for a few days.service was first class and so was the food. I ate with my partner,inlaws and 6mo daughter. We were looked after by Amanda,and she was brilliant. Friendly and helpful,nothing was too much trouble.it was the chefs (Dylan) first day and the food was delicious. Im not one for leaving reviews,but I wasskimpressed with my visit, I want others to visit this lovely pub.

Great local pub...great food* would like to invite the community to a selection of buitifulf home cooked food*

Had the burger special - lovely hot food. Good value, and a decent pint. Complements to the chef!

We walked along the river to Iffley. We stopped at the pub for a pint. It was quite nice, inside seating, garden seating and seating at the front. Very friendly service.

Looking for a place to eat lunch as was in the area , initially went to the tree hotel but they were closed and they directed us here. I have been here previously a couple years ago and it was mediocre at best quite an...

Another public house that works hard in these mad times, the Sunday lunch was prompt and served as requested. Plenty of room as the day was very warm so many folk would eat later. But shade is available but would come again at some point

Nice pub ,good beer garden, good selection of beer,no food on when I visited ,so please check beforehand, nice walk up Thames to pub ,worth the walk

I really liked it to be honest. Chilled out and nice staff. A little more on Sunday menu would-be a bonus as kids like just simply chips etc.

Was disgusted to see a member of staff downing drinks with costumers while on shift on Saturday night. She is rude, has a foul mouth and has no costumers service whatsoever. I have visited this pub for many years and i am sad to this...

Really lovely place to go to with friends and family would recommend it to anyone 👌

Not a particularly friendly welcome , ok inside If this place is to survive the woman behind the bar who appears to be in charge may want to rethink where her bread is buttered Spent quite a bit for 8 of us , not sure...

Disappointing to find the kitchen closed on a Monday. No mention of this on the website .

Nice place great dukebox but food average for money

Lovely village pub. Friendly staff, warm atmosphere. Good outdoor area for warm weather

Three of us enjoyed roast chicken dinner and a roast lamb dinner for Sunday lunch today. The Six X beer was apparently excellent as was the non-alcohokic Fentiman's zero sugar ginger beer. The food came ready plated, with cooked beetroot, parsnip, carrots and crispy roast potatoes, with a delicious, thick gravy and a large Yorkshire pudding on each. Service was fast and polite. We particularly liked the latte coffees. If the weather had been kinder, we would have sat outside in the outdoor area, where there was some glorious planting.

Wonderful local pub in a beautiful location. Used to love it when I lived in Oxford and great to be back . Has a real village feel and atmosphere. Good food too

Good to see great service from Jody, Moretti tasting great again ✅

Had a fantastic Sunday lunch the best one we’ve had out in Oxford in a very very long time. Fantastic service from very friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Service couldn't have been better if they tried. Really good. Food was ok. Found the portion size of the salad rather small considering the £11.90 price tag. Overall a good pub with decent beer

Good and happy atmosphere, welcoming and efficient staff, tasty pub food with a reasonable choice from the menu, quick service,

Lovely local pub. Staying at Hawkwell house hotel, popped in for a quick pint and it’s great. Lots of Cask ales plus decent lager. Friendly chef/land lord had a chat. He’s a young lad from up north, taken the place on only 3 months ago and working hard to keep a local pub going. Jodi working so hard behind the bar, pulling those cask ales like a pro! Well worth a visit.

Wonderful country pub! Recently came in for a quiet drink/evening meal. The pub has a great selection of ales and largers on draught. The food was nice and service was fast and professional, the bar lady Jody who was always happy to help and was very welcoming, really gave the pub a great friendly atmosphere.

Such an under advertised place! We visited for a drink on Easter Saturday, very reasonably priced compared to a lot of places around. Came again on the Sunday expecting it to be rammed but no. Very quiet, we had the lamb and the beef sunday dinners. The food was lovely, meat very tender, two types of potatoes and four types of veg, large yorkie! Our only tiny criticism we would have liked a drop more gravy, but we also didn't ask for any either. All for twelve quid each it was spot on!

Super friendly village pub, and very dog friendly too!

Lovely food, and friendly staff happy to accommodate small variations on their standard lunch menu (children’s sausage and mash, prawns added to the chilli noodle dish).

Great pub. Warming atmosphere and very friendly landlady. Delicious food. Highly recommended if you are in the Oxford area and fancy a quiet laid back beer.

Not a friendly environment. My friend felt unsafe and like outsiders weren't welcome.

I would rate this pub with zero stars but that's not an option.Pretty shocked to find out that my friend was charged £160 for 3 drinks and when she came to ask for a refund the staff had receipt ready,like it's regular thing they are accustomed doing.Check your account balances after the visit!!!

Went while visiting with my cousin and her Dad. They were so hostile towards us treating us awfully. My cousins Dad was so excited that he won with a 45 score only to find out that the manager chooses the winner despite who actually scores the highest. The men were so disrespectful towards young women and shouted all night long. Just awful. The whole place is a sham.

Entered the pub quiz, thought it would be a lovely experience for my retired elderly father who was over joyed with the prospect of having an outing. Unfortunately this seems like a local pub for local people. We were not only shouted at by the locals in there for not swapping the quiz papers on time, baring in mind this was our first time playing. It was a hostile environment to say the least. We were over the moon to see we had won with a score of 45 but then we were told we had not won and the players who scored lower than us (the locals) had won. When asked why, we were told the manager chooses who wins. It's a real shame to be treated with such disregard and injustice. This is definitely a local pub for local people with a nasty vibe, men that shout at young women and total disregard for the safety of loan women. You will never win the quiz it seems it's all planned and a sham from the begining. A shame as the pub much potential. Do not go it's unsafe, injust and unfriendly. Stick with the delights of the more welcoming atmosphere of the Isis or Rusty Bicycle where quizzes are played fairly and old men do not abuse new comers.

Picturesque old English pub and that's where it ends. Would not recommend buying a meal here as food is awful.

Had not visited this pub for about three years, and hitherto it was well patronised with cheerful landlord and good team. 3 years on……………. Very poor service with an obvious change of management since my last visit. No pies available although stated on the menu....

Dreadfull lunch £7.99 for a cheese and ham sandwich which must of cost all of a pound to make My 12 year old daughter could do better 2 slices of thin ham you buy in a packet from sainsbury Some grated cheese ontop Slightly toasted thin sliced bread which was served with the above with no mayo salad cream pickle butter It was like eating Ghandis flip flops Slow service on arrival Slow bringing the food out Just a rubbish lunch If your charging 8 quid for a sarnie atheist offer wholemeal bread and white cut bread by hand or thick cut. Proper slices of butchers Ham Decent lumps of cheese Condiments No cutlery Few chips ( no sauces ) Try the Tree Hotel this is Grim

Just had a very disappointing lunch. No draught bitter. Asked for a cheese ploughman’s lunch. Told “sorry, I dropped the jar of pickle”. So I opted for a cheese and ham sandwich. Then out came the food, no knife and fork. No butter in the sandwich, it was bone dry. Grated cheese, I had hoped for a decent cheddar, package sliced ham. It was so dry that I asked for mayonnaise. Told “I’ll bring it in a minute”. Waited a fair while and nothing. Went inside to get my own mayonnaise, there wasn’t any. The food was so bland and dry that it stuck to the roof of my mouth. My mate said it was like eating one of Ghandi’s flip flops.

great food and the staff is very good and lovely place for nice Evening and nice meal do Recommend it
