The Prince of Wales in Bedford - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Excellent pint of Guinness, great food, welcoming to families.

Although it was an extremely busy lunchtime Eamon (landlord extraordinaire) told us to grab a seat . Our drinks order was promptly taken by Eamon's daughter who quite frankly ' is a chip of the old block ', natural, customer service. I had the Superb Haddock, Chips and Peas and the husband had the Philly Burger - both were devoured with gusto and can thoroughly recommend both dishes. This has become one of our favourite local pubs since moving here in April. The Sunday Roast is a blinder too ( my dad can be hard to please but was silent throughout the meal, as he was enjoying it so much!) For a pub kitchen to pull off such a large quantity of meals in one lunchtime, is no mean feet - coupled with top notch quality, we take our hat off to you Well done another Princely visit Tracey and Andy

Since moving to Bromham the Prince has been my sole local place to go for a Friday eat and piss up, if I don't fancy cycling to Bedford. Excellent menu. Fish and chips & burgers terrific. Rogan Josh a few weeks back worth every penny. Good variety of draught bottled and shorts to get hammered with. Staff kind and attentive to the point of giving me an evening tab. Thanks pow!!! Thoroughly recommend. Yesterday 14th July 23.... Walked in on Friday as usual. Staff gave me a table 4 one in the midst of a busy late afternoon/early evening. I am "coffee machine man" now!!!! Many thanks for your service - 110 per cent for this walk in. Food was great and drink up to its usual high standard of variety. Many thanks. Today 17th November 23. Marched in as if I had the right to a table. Apologies for my rudeness. Thanks for the usual table 4 one. Kind and attentive staff as per usual. Nursing a pint of Guinness as I type so all is well with the world (for the time being). Thanks PoW

Lovely friendly staff, food was lovely and affordable, clean and tidy mobility scooter and dog friendly. sat in garden for our meal, had a great time. Will come again.

Iv had lunch here several times always a nice meal but on Sunday July 212024 I was here with4 friends the meal was not good for two of us the beef was tough veg appeared warmed up and horrible my meal was soaked in gravy dissapointed

Fantastic atmosphere - the bar man, Craig was absolutely fantastic, and made a great night even more enjoyable.

We were in the area so we booked an evening meal. It was Monday night so quieter than usual, but again a super meal (my favourite the steak and ale pie.) The service was quick but not rushed in any way, all the meals very tasty, the chap who served us is very good humoured. Not much more to say other than I wish my local was as good as this.

Very clean and pleasant environment, good selection of food and drink.

We popped in today for the first time for a late lunch. The team there were all really friendly and welcoming. The pub had a lovely atmosphere. We had a fabulous lunch and would definitely recommend the steak and ale pie and the chicken and ham pie. Both homemade, 'proper' pies (not a puff pastry top in sight!) were delicious, and great value. Will definitely be returning. 😊

First visit and it was great. Wonderful staff and food. xXx

Friendly and good service with really nice meal. Could even answer questions on local geography👍

Fantastic first Visit. Ellie was so welcoming and gave us a choice of table's and promptly returned with our drinks . Louise took our food order and took the time to chat. Although the pub was busy our food arrived in good time. My husband had the cheese and bacon baguette with cheesy 🧀 chips - which he swiftly devoured . I had a tuna mayonnaise Jacket Potatoe.....fabulous! Hot and fluffy, a generous size jacket as well as a sumptuous serving of tuna mayonnaise. The presentation of the side salard was as vibrant ' as a smile on a plate' Eamon it was a pleasure to dine in your pub and meet the team Tracey and Andy Lingwood

Always a joy to visit. Food excellent. Friendly, efficient service.

Food was really nice ,good portion size. Very friendly staff. I was on crutches so we had table service when you were meant to order food and drink at the bar. Great value will definitely return.

Great food, lovely atmosphere and staff were excellent. Good gluten free options as I’m coeliac. Very reasonably priced too

Really nice place, really nice evening. Would definitely recommend a visit

Welcoming surroundings, very attentive service and the food was well cooked. I had a pie which was obviously home made and tasted delicious reasonably priced as well. . Will definately return.

What a fantastic find, excellent food all homemade delicious, great atmosphere super friendly staff.

I was quite disappointed firstly they had a very limited menu and we have a child with an eating disorder and they refused to accommodate her by letting her have some garlic bread even though other people had it other pubs have always been very kind and understanding regarding our daughter, staff were friendly but for 3 people it cost us a weeks shopping, I understand they have to cover costs but they didn't even have the prices on show, the food was well cooked but unfortunately we wouldn't be able to afford to go there again when there's a cheaper pub in the village who go above and beyond to help

I had a thoroughly enjoyable lunch at the Prince of Wales today. As usual the staff made me feel welcome and comfortable. The food was heartwarming cottage pie with an extra little twist. Great food, great staff, good beer in lovely clean surroundings -becoming my local and I am not even in the village.

We were visiting friends in Bromham,and had lunch here. It was lovely. Friendly,Good Quality food,and a lovely atmosphere. We will return.

On a random Thursday it was very quiet, but quite cosy. Comforting pub grub, good quality and good value.

Been here before and had to go back. Lovely atmosphere and a great lunch. I need gluten free and there are lots of options on the menu. Staff were friendly, professional and food came quickly and was lovely and hot. Will definitely be back

Very friendly local pub with good food, and atmosphere. Would recommend.

Met friends here for Saturday lunch. Good selection on the menu. Beer was well kept and staff friendly. Plenty of parking. Will be returning.

Fantastic place, was my dad's 80th and he was well looked after. Many thanks

When there for a Xmas dinner with friends on the 5th December 2023 the food was poor the starters was small also my friend had salmon but no bread roll the main was very poor very little on Ur plate 3 roasters potatoes 3 Brussels a no Yorkshire pudding we ask why there was no Yorkshire puddings the man said u don't have Yorkshire puddings on Xmas dinner what a joke he was quite rude about it! Also we had to ask for more gravy and the bill was very high we i won't be returning was still hungry when i got home 😞

Great lunch beautifully prepared and presented, lovely atmosphere and very good service. Will visit again soon!

I have just returned from a (pre-ordered) Meal organised by a group of local Bellringers for their annual Christmas lunch. I have been asked to represent the group to say how pleased they all were with the lunch and organisation, it was very good and served promptly. We will return. Thanks Eamon & staff for your attentive service.

Perfect local family friendly pub/restaurant. Lovely staff and perfect pub grub. 👌

Lovely food with the most amazing service. I can't recommend this family friendly pub enough. A firm favourite!!

I absolutely love this place! The service is friendly, warm and have this way of making you feel like old friends, and the food is incredibly delicious! 👌 Great atmosphere and always bustling with happy customers. Highly recommend!

We really should go here more often, always a decent meal here, Sunday roasts are excellent, the kids love the fish and chips ! Excellent all round !

Lovely friendly people. Great night at the quiz.

Lovely pub, lovely grub, friendly staff and people friendly with a nice, comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommended. It's slightly secluded but if you want a quiet few beers and food, look no further. Would definitely go back. The pie and mash, veg, gravy was absolutely delicious 😋

Visited the Prince of Wales for a group Sunday dinner. After previously eating here one evening, I found their Sunday roasts a step up from the main menu. It might not be as cheap as some of the big name carveries but I’d prefer to support the local independents over the big names. The service here had a nice friendly local feel to it, which made us feel very welcome. The roast dinners that everyone had were well received. The plates had plenty on them, with a good size Yorkshire pudding, as well as assorted veg, roast potatoes and a good gravy to accompany the meat. The pork also came with a nice piece of crackling that lived up to its name. The rest of the menu covers many pub favourites, availability of some popular items may vary on busy days. Desserts seemed to be the usual mix of hot & cold options (sticky toffee, crumble, cheesecakes etc) and whilst not original were still more than welcome.

A wonderful pub, with extremely helpful staff. This is my second visit but the first time with family. Having Coeliac Disease, I am very wary of eating out, from the first conversation on the phone to the reassurance I was given when arriving made our whole dining experience very enjoyable. The food is lovely, confirmed by my 4 year old granddaughter who finished off ‘the lot’. All in all a wonderful pub with a great atmosphere, helpful staff and delicious food.

i went for an after funeral and it was a lovely atmosphere - buffet was good food - simple and nice - great friendly staff

Great chicken and ham pie on the "Pie Night". Good pub/restaurant and good service. The staff were helpful and efficient. This is large pub with plenty of places to sit and eat. A good spot for family dining too.

We wanted to visit a country pub for a drink and this from online seemed lovely. However, from the moment we stepped in, it was not what we expected but we thought we’d give it a go! We stood at the bar where the bar-lady was at the end on her phone texting and she knew we were here yet made us wait 5min before serving us and the service lacked manners greatly, no please no thank you, nothing just “yeah.” “Yeah.”. Whilst sitting having our drinks another staff member who was behind the bar was taking a personal phone call asking about how people are, telling them what their plans are for the week etc. I have never visited a pub like it! My partner and I have a combined 15 years experience working in hospitality in some of the biggest wedding venues in the North East of England and know what good customer service is suppose to be and can safely say, THIS was far from it.

Frequent this place, not as often as we should, the service is fantastic from the owner and staff and the food is the cherry on the cake, hard day at B & M yesterday but a couple of Foster's, cottage pie, burger and sticky toffee pudding did the trick 😋

Only been in the once but will be returning, had sunday lunch which was delicious, the landlord is a very pleasant friendly man, and we look forward to returning, as we have moved to the area.

It's a great pub with a very good landlord. Recommend for functions and meetings.

Good food. Polite and attentive staff. Worth a visit if you're looking for good pub grub served well .

Staff and service very good recommend stake pie and mash and rubard and custard

Great pub and great beer. Online advertised as open till 12. When we turned up the signage said 10:30. Not a problem as we were there at 8. Blonde haired barmaid came out at 8:40 and said she was calling last orders as she had somewhere to be. No ideal. Sent home maybe 6-7 tables early. Very frustrating. All visibly confused

Beautiful village pub, great atmosphere, very friendly staff, fair prices, accommodating owners. I didn't order food, just had a quick drink when passing through,but the food looked and smelt fantastic.

Lots of good choices on the menu, excellent food, good service, and reasonable prices Lovely pub.

Very pleasant pub. No old world charm but pleasantly modern. The food was good quality and good value for money

Always great food and a welcoming atmosphere.

Good service good atmosphere and best of good food without the price tag. I didn't pay it was fathers day so bonus for me that day. Would return again and happily pay.

Visited here for lunch on a Sunday. The staff were friendly and there was a good choice on the menu. The food arrived quickly and was nice. The reason I have given a low rating is because after I had finished eating I noticed there were loads of flys in the bottom of the vinegar bottle. These things happen but I wasn't very happy with the reaction when we told the staff. The did not apologise or even really acknowledge there was a problem. Probably won't go back.

Amazing food, great service and great ambience - had a lovely meal and our friends said it was their best meal in a pub for a long time - cheers Thank you Eamon and the team Ed and Sarah

I love this place. I go here at least once a week and Food is always delicious! The service is always quick and friendly.

This is a lovely pub with great staff and really good food. Came here today for father's day lunch, was not disappointed. Will definitely be returning. Highly recommend.

We have visited The Prince of Wales 3 times quite late to ask if food was still available. Unlike other local pubs, the staff here were lovely and helpful each time and provided us with delicious food. The fish and chips were absolutely delicious and very hot. Thank you so much. We will be back.

Lovely food, great service and a very friendly team! Our new local!

I would like to review the food, but we went on Saturday night at 7:45pm and they told us the kitchen was already close (kitchen closing time 9pm) very disappointed 😞☹️

Not been here for years & was really impressed with how it looked. A smart, rustic look. Very pleasant staff & nice food.

Lovely home cooked food. Very friendly staff, child friendly and accessibility is very good.

What a great pub! Spacious, clean and welcoming. Plenty of parking. I attended after a funeral and cannot believe I have never visited this pub before despite living only 8 miles away. I will return.

Went 2day 7/5/23 1st vist very nice had a great Sunday roast lovely food nice pub diffenly go there again wasn't very busy

Lovely birthday meal. Good food and service.

A fantastic pub to go with friends and celebrate , warm and friendly welcome by the staff who were very attentive . The menu caters for everyone’s needs , the dessert menu is to die for , I had sticky toffee pudding and custard 👏 So book a table and enjoy a wonderful experience . Well done to all the staff for a superb lunch .

Sunday lunch. I had the roast beef. A lovely plate of food. Crumble for afters, and the crumble itself was delicious, just the way it should be. Attentive staff, pleasant environment.

Love this pub! I ate here last night with some friends and the food was delicious! The service was also excellent. We weren't rushed but the team were also attentive. Its not expensive either. I would highly recommend it

Lovely and reasonably priced Sunday lunch, pud was fab

Popular pub with engaged landlord, good food and maybe four real ales. Easy access and large car park.

Good food.Good service would recommend A visit !!!

Had a great lunch here with authentic proper pub food after a long hike. Look forward to coming again

Well what can I say, excellent service from booking to the day. Always friendly service, it was my 60th birthday, Eamon and his team were fantastic, so helpful in the planning and on the day, had to cancel a few people due to illness, nothing was to much trouble, would highly recommend having any event at the Prince of Wales. Thank you for making my day so special.

Great food and service. Warm and cosy definitely coming back.

Excellent Christmas dinner to at the Prince of Wales good food friendly staff

Had a lovely xmas dinner with friends from st johns homes kempston and food was very nice and bar staff&manager very good and friendly.

Great community pub. Pleasant decor and good range of beers.

Went for a meal whilst nearby it was great good food and service must try Sunday lunch soon.

Found this family pub by chance and the food was amazing as was the service. Will definitely be returning 👍

Lovely home made food, friendly and welcoming staff. Catering for babies and children

Arrived early, was seated straight away. Dinner was again delicious and hot. Service by the staff and management is next to none. Such a great atmosphere and I'll definitely be going again

Lovely pub. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Everyone enjoyed their food.

Good food, good service. Wellies and dogs welcome inside - 'designated' area 🐕

It doesn't have the widest range of real ale to choose from so not a destination for camra fans.

Tasty Sunday roast at a good price with nice ale. Nice bright pub with friendly staff too.

Excellent food and atmosphere and a great host. Well with a visit Highly recommended

Delicious food and a great atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Great food and drink and friendly and helpful staff

The website says food is served until 8:30pm, signage in the pub says 9:00pm, but they had stopped serving when we arrived at 7:45pm :(

Always good food and excellent service here - hence my first choice for eating out around Bedford! Highly recommend.

We went for lunch was told it was busy with a 45 minute wait for food, which we said was fine. Firstly having ordered food I noticed we had been overcharged by £15 for food we hadn’t ordered. We waited for over an hour still no food!! Then having ordered more drinks noticed people who had come in long after us had their food!! Then noticed they had also charged us for drinks we hadn’t had. So went in and spoke to the person and he was very rude. Said that people who had booked or were regular got their food first what ever time they come in . Which is absolute joke. I asked for a full refund but he said no way !! Food was ready. We waited 15 more minutes for it to come. We go in nearly every Tuesday evening but never again after being spoke to so rudely do not deserve to get customers.

Called by, last minute, for a bite to eat with my family. Greeted by helpful, friendly staff. The pub is roomy, clean and nicely decorated with plenty of seating and tables (outside garden too) The menu was varied to suit all tastes and dietary requirements and there are some reasonable children's choices on the menu. Food arrived in good time, piping hot, and was delicious. Will definitely return!

Today we visited The Prince of Wales pub in Bromham. A lovely little pub in the center of the village. Although it was first established in 1956 it has real character. I had a rather pleasent Charles Wells Dry Hop Larger and a DNA (Day Night Anytime) Ale....Sue and Wendy had a Fosters. Met Phil one of the locals who was very knowledgeable about SA Cricket /Rugby. Great staff and very helpful and friendly. Barlady was considerd a foreigner...she come from Scotland! We were supposed to go to the 3 Fishes in Turvey, but the road was closed. Hopefully will pick up this next week.

Nice lunch hete gor fayhers day. The roast beef was cooked how I like it. Very nice.

Just asked for a menu at 2.15 told they had stopped serving when sign outside clearly said 2.30 meals ended shame looked like a nice pub

Lovely place, friendly staff ..couldn't ask for anything more

An excellent Sunday roast. Children’s menu was just right. Pudding was ace. Friendly welcome. Busy and fun.

Very good atmosphere, staff and excellent food. If you like Guinness, you will love it here!
