The Prince of Wales in Mid Devon

Unexpectedly stumbled upon this friendly pub on an afternoon walk, very reasonably priced drinks and friendly service.

A friendly pub serving real ale from a unique beer engine. Comfy sitting areas and a good place to meet up with an old mate.

Really sad to see this pub in the state it is now. We were offered a lunch of sausages & chips following the treasure hunt, which concluded in the pub car park. With the right amount of money and effort, this pub could be such a goldmine in a very middle class village. As it is, the decor is very dated and mismatched. The toilets weren’t particularly inviting. There were cobwebs hanging off beams everywhere and the place didn’t shout cleanliness. The garden was also quite untidy. I could live with all that but what I really object to, is being charged £5.95 for a small portion of lacklustre chips and 3 very mediocre sausages. The staff were friendly but other than that I can’t find anything about the place to recommend to anybody else. A real shame.

The pub was one of the village “legends” but was sold last year. Forget eating here as meals are now regrettably absent. Opening hours are vague and whilst being well populated in the past ~ the place is empty at times. Such a pity. The village has lost a previously wonderful amenity

Very welcoming staff serving generous portions of well cooked food! Even a warm wecome and a bowl of water for the dog!

The meal was very good ,service excellent..It just seemed an odd way of having to fetch food from another village but the wait wasn't too long.

Such a warm friendly pub, with amazing staff. We were staying in the village in a Landmark Trust cottage, 'The Priests House' for a few days. When we rang to book a table we realised food was served only at the weekend. But they arranged for the chef Aaron to come in & he served us scrumptious food, beautifully cooked, all the staff looked after us so well and we enjoyed their company. Pub is highly recommended, with big thankyou to Aaron, Becky and all the staff. We will certainly be back

Wow, what a treat! We booked for the Sunday lunch carvery whilst staying at Whipcott Water cottages. We arrived to find the pub in the midst of a power cut which could have been a worry but we were calmly shown to our candle lit table and after a very short delay, presented with the most amazing selection of roast food. The food was probably the best roast lunch we have ever had. Great value for money, huge generous portions and children's appetites also accounted for. The roast beef and gammon melted in the mouth. Huge Yorkshire puddings and the best cauliflower cheese. This place is a hidden gem. We couldn't fault the friendliness of staff and the warm welcome despite a stressful situation. No pretence, no frills, just great honest grub in a homely, friendly and lovely little pub. Highly recommended. Thank you to all at The Prince of Wales! See you again.

Only popped in for a drink with my wife but was really impressed. The pub is lovely with a homely feel played darts and board games in front of the lovely fire enjoying a refreshing pint, very nice.

Went to visit the prince of wales got a lovely welcome by the young lady behind the bar so lovely to see a cheerful person she knows her products very well always happy to have a chat with the customers to make them feel welcome. Would recommend this pub to everyone Great pub the manager knows what she is doing.

It's great to walk into a country pub and feel like your in one - most now a days seem very corporate and pretentious. Not this one, it is a true country pub with very welcoming locals and proper pub grub. The food is very well priced and comes out on big plates that a full - none of this small half full chopping board crap. The ales on tap are well kept and the prices are average for the area. I would highly recommend - especially for a good Stroll down the canal followed by a big lunch and a drink

Booked for a meal with friends on Sat for Sunday.The staff were very pleasant and friendly.The food was real English pub grub at its best.Very good value for money.Both the manageress Ana and chef Sophie could not have been kinder or more efficient.We will be going there again soon.

Sadly very average standard of food! I wasn't paying the bill, had I been I would have asked for some sort of discount. Food served was NOT as described. What a shame, this village needs a good pub with good food! Service was good I have to say!

Great little pub, under new management. Starting to find its feet. Warm and welcoming pub with friendly staff. Good food all round with nice Sunday carvery. A good selection of specials to complement the standard menu. Pleasant beer garden bit of a sun trap, nice. Well worth a visit.

Visited after evening ramble. Pre ordered as 18 eating. All food was brought out within a few minutes of each other. Everyone enjoyed meal and said good value for money. We had eaten at The Globe in the past, so we're expecting good food and we're not disappointed. Staff were very friendly and helpful. A pity about the coffee. I paid £2.50 for a cup of instant coffee. If it had not been for this, I would have given 5 stars. I think they should invest in a good coffee machine, which would then make them a complete package. Will definitely visit again, but not drink coffee, UNLESS!

Sinceramente, desde el momento en que entramos a este hermoso pequeño diamante en bruto que nos "cautivó", el personal era increíble y muy simpático y hablador. ! El chef es tan talentoso y quería llevarla a casa conmigo ya que la comida no era de...

Los nuevos propietarios de este pub están haciendo una importante mejora. Mi esposa y yo fuimos allí el domingo pasado (16/07 / 2017) para un asador. Las carnes eran liberar en la boca y las verduras estaban todos muy bien cocinado. Esto combinado con una pinta maldito Bar hacía una comida perfecta. Después tomamos café en el jardín amurallado. La camarera Anastasia era encantadora y Sophie el chef sabe cómo asado un conjunto de carne. Volveremos pronto. Esperemos que pronto habrá un cartel en la carretera para mostrar donde el pub es que no es fácil de encontrar y está apartado de la carretera. Está situado al lado de la tienda del pueblo y la oficina de correos. Garaje cum Este es uno que no se puede perder!

Had a lovely carvery on Sunday very reasonable price, we had our dog and our son who is in a wheelchair with us, the owners were very welcoming and couldn't do enough for us, large outdoor seating area and a pool table inside. Hope to visit again sometime.

Came at last minute for supper, we both had the sirloin steaks which were really good. Followed by ice cream sundae. Will come again

As others have mentioned this pub is now under new management.Alex and Becca make you feel very welcome.Superb carvery today with delicious meats, great value for money.The Prince is definitely back on the map.Will be back very soon!

Under new management who are very friendly and helpful. Dogs are welcome, they're even given a doggie biscuit when they arrive, so great to visit after a walk. I had the fish and chips and can honestly say it was delicious. A huge portion of fish coated in a lovely, light batter and perfect chips.

Lovely pub, staff all really friendly, I had the Sunday carvery and it was lovely, great value for money! I have also had other items of the menu all of which have been lovely. This is a family friendly pub that I would highly recommend and plan to return to lots more!!!!The website is currently set up by previous owners. Food is Friday night, all day Saturday and Sunday!

Well, perhaps, but it was simply marvellous. Becca and Alex are doing just the right thing. They are friendly, very efficient and they are very interested in finding out what the locals want from their pub. It is lovely to see so many people eating there again. Our pub seems to have once again come to life! We'll be supporting it and hope a lot of others will as well. Keep up the good work Becca, Alex and Lewis!

An excellent Sunday carvery .......well done to the new owners.....highly recommended.The meal was well presented, hot and fresh. The staff were welcoming and attentive.

Just had the carvery which was excellent. The pub is under new management and looks great. It was wonderful to see the pub busy again and so many locals eating. The new team are very friendly and welcoming and their is a lovely relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The food was freshly cooked, piping hot and very tasty. Lots of choice of vegetables, good meat and plenty of it. We have booked in again for next Sunday!

This pub has just been taken over by new management and was wonderful. So welcoming great Sunday carvery, was a shame only in the area for the weekend but will definitely go back when in the area again two big thumbs up xx

Checked website to make sure they were open on Tuesday lunchtimes. Cycled 12 miles arriving tired and hungry and guess what, they were closed! It says it on the door but that is no use when you are researching where to eat from a distance. In retrospect, I note that the website has not been updated since 2013, and there is also another review on TripAdvisor saying exactly the same thing. Lord knows how many other people have been caught out in the same way. Pubs in the sticks need to up their game if they are to stay in business and pissing off potential customers with things that are simple to fix is just suicide.

Very quiet, in bar, no one eating, so was in two minds weather to stay or find somewhere else, but the bar maid, said we could eat.... only had the ham and a gammon, but it was good, service was good. Overall the pub needs some attention to detail

We checked the website before we set out this morning to make sure that the Prince of Wales in Holcombe Rogus was open today (Tuesday 16th February). It said that they were closed on Mondays but open from 12:00 to 3:00pm every other day. We set off on an 8 mile walk, so were somewhat disappointed when we arrived, hungry and tired, at 1:00pm to discover that they are now also closed on Tuesday lunchtimes as well. We ended up sitting in a field with a bag of Cheddars and a couple of rock cakes for lunch, bought from the small but well-stocked shop at the garage opposite.I doubt very much that we'll bother planning a walk around a visit to the Prince of Wales again, in case they've decided to close on Wednesday or Thursday lunchtimes as well. Just be warned if you are also thinking of dropping in.

[Their website is out of date] Normal pub food , not brilliant but plenty of it.Good choice of beers, well kept. I had "Old Speckled Hen" which I can recommend.

We had sunday lunch here. Had the roast. Lots of choice of meat and veg. Plenty of food - help yourself - but not more than average.

Difficult to know what to say about this pub as it was deserted, apart from one local, when we dropped by for lunch on a Friday. With the absence of any customers we had a good view of the interior and it was a bit gloomy and not as attractive as it could be. In fact it could do with smartening up and some comfortable seating provided. The blackboard menu was extensive but we went for a safe, deep-fried option of whitebait and chips! No problems with that! Service was very friendly. The best thing about the pub was it's really good range of real ales and lagers. Staropramen was on draught. The real ales were very good, the Sticky Wicket, in particular.The pub has a large car park and is set in a nice rural village, reasonably close to the Grand Western canal, about 10 minutes by cycle. The pub has potential - without turning it into a gastro-pub.

We didn't stay for food, as it would have meant eating right next to the pool table (no thanks), and when asked for ham, egg and chips, this was apparently beyond them, and all they could suggest was roast beef, egg and chips...(er, no).We had bern told that it has gone downhill recently, but did intend to try it as it was local to where we were staying.Better pubs in the area, and frankly, I wouldn't bother.

Myself and my parents visited here, whilst we were staying at Whipcott Water Cottages. It took us around 20 minutes to walk - they do offer a pick up and drop off service, but we wanted to take advantage of the lovely weather, so we decided to walk in stead! We had a lovely Sunday carvery, which was only £8 each. We got to soak up the sunshine in their beer garden as well. All in all, a very lovely Sunday afternoon!

We had an evening meal here, mid week while staying locally. We chose here as they allow dogs. A few items on the menu were not available. The meal itself was very nice. The staff were nice too and would recommend for good, freshly cooked pub grub.

My husband had a burger which was lovely but my lasagne was poor, covered in cheese where it was overcooked, chatted to friendly locals in the gardens, place is being given a spruce up, dog friendly and the owners nice

This is a well-located pub at the heart of a beautiful Devon village and on an enjoyable circular walk along the Grand Western Canal. The welcome is warm. The beer is good. And, there are some nice touches such as free Wi-Fi and Trivial Pursuit questions on the tables. And, the food is good value although I think that the quality could be improved by reducing the size of the menu. It is also clearly quite popular with a hard-core of friendly locals who add colour to the place.But, the place could do with a good tidy-up. The grass needs cutting in the beer garden. And, there are boxes and bags of potatoes abandoned at various points inside. And, I am not sure that the separate "restaurant area" works. Go more rustic and less formal!With a few tweaks here and there this could be a gem. I hope they manage it as places like Holcombe Rogus need a great pub.
