The Prince of Wales in Central Bedfordshire

Approached by a big Scottish guy asking us what we wanted,I should've said to have my car serviced,what on god's green earth does he think we wanted I mean it's a pub idiot,I replied we were just looking at the beers on offer which wasn't much & he said are you having anything to eat I said not at the moment he very rudely said,well you will have to wait for 10 minutes we obviously left in disgust & that was the first & last time we experienced the prince of wales,Never again & would not recommend this odd establishment,also noticed that all of this clowns 🤡 replies to reviews are extremely defensive,rude & aggressive,obviously used to pub's in Glasgow as that's where he belongs, this clowns 🤡 attitude wouldn't last long in London, makes me ashamed to be Scottish idiots like this,de ye ken As with regards to your reply I live in Amptill so obviously know where we were,I must have been seeing scotch mist & been speaking with Nessie you clown 🤡

Outside area needs tidying up, it's looking quite tired and run down.

Had breakfast here and it was all local produce and it was very tasty service was quick and they where very nice staff

We have had a stay there the weekend of 16 and 17th of March and we had a lovely time the room was good and a big size bed. service of the owner and his staff in the pub is great. We will def be back for a other visit next time. Richard and Denise from Holland

Amazing food and service. Freshly cooked unlike other places. If you're in the area Fri-Sun, try their breakfast, yummy. Dogs welcome. 🐕

Very nice veggie burger for lunch Good pint of Guiness. Well worth sticking your head in

Cant comment on rooms as didnt stay there but food and beer was good.

Great to see a lively pub serving great local beer and good food

I only ate here so I'm only going to talk about that.

Has so much potential but sadly on our third visit since it is opened. We are still disappointed. We went there when it first opened and was not impressed. I gave them a second chance earlier in the year. It was okay and then me and my husband decided to give them a chance for Sunday dinner as really good reports about them, however, when you’re spending nearly hundred pound for a couple on a Sunday for Sunday dinner, you expect something really good it wasn’t really good our prawn cocktail they were very cheap frozen prawns quickly defrosted and when you’re charging £8.50 for a prawn cocktail you expect things to be fresh like it says in the menu, with bread and butter that the butter was already spread on the bread, but it gone soggy by the time it reached our table, been sitting on a hot plate. Usually you would expect the butter to be served separately to the bread, and now we get to the roast dinner covered in gravy very tasty gravy but again should have come separately vegetables were like they were possibly frozen vegetables but they weren’t I think just over cooked but I wasn’t sure whether I had lamb or beef to to be honest, and then when we was looking at choosing for the wine there was no prices to the wine list so we had to ask how much the wine was costing per bottle, which I think is wrong thing to. Based on this I would have preferred Toby carvery and won’t be eating there again anytime soon. It’s expensive for the quality

Absolutely amazing food, the hottest wings in the world, will definitely be coming back. The food was really really good.

Excellent food. Excellent service. Super clean. Super friendly. Amazing!

Excellent food. Served hot. Great service i would definitely recommend

Good food, great service, warm stmosphere

Friendly staff, easy to navigate around, good food and room was spot on for my 3 night stay work related Would use again and refer friends for sure. Thanks guys

Had a very pleasant stay in the Prince of Wales. Comfortable room and bed, although the en suite bathroom is a little snug. Great beer. Delicious breakfast with local produce. Pleasant and friendly staff.

Lovely pub, great service and food

Went for Xmas meal with friends, couldn't fault it 👌 food and service excellent I will return thank you.

Wonderful venue for lunch or just a coffee, Dave and the team always have the best interests of the client at heart - thank you for my gift - really appreciated

My neighbours and I went for our Christmas meal last night. The food was absolutely incredible. Portion sizes were generous, food was piping hot, service incredible. This is a fantastic family run pub and an absolute must visit if you’re planning on spending time in Ampthill!

Lovely pub staff really friendly and they don't charge gor soda water win win

Had the brekfast here, which is available from friday to sunday. It was a top tier brekfast with local produce 10/10. The staff here are friendly and helpful and also highly recommend

Welcoming atmosphere, great service.

It's nice to see an old friend from willow way plus amazing food and drinks.

Great food. Clean premises. Attentive staff. I'd definitely recommend this place.

Lovely, welcoming pub. Highly recommended!

Popped in because we was in the area, great pub amazing staff and blinding food, had the XXX badgers hot wings.. highly recommended I am not responsible for anyone eating the wings if in doubt stick to the nachos .. will definitely be back soon

Women running the place absolutely spot on came in tonite first time trying the food and cannot fault it the nachos where amazing and the chicken wings with the badger sauce is not for the faint hearted if you can handle spicy then get your self down there and get your teeth into them

Excellent food. Nice menu. Friendly staff. Thanks!

Great location, friendly staff and fantastic food. Highly recommend The Prince of Wales if you are in Ampthill.

Very hospitable. Staff friendly. Excellent food and service. Will definitely be back.

Had a great breakfast here, best in Ampthill. David is very attentive - would recommend 👌

Great selection of reasonable prices beers and spirits, friendly staff easy parking

Was accused of not paying for my food. The fault was with the serving staff as she didn’t close my table on the system. I had paid. When I brought up my bank statement on my phone the manager didn’t even look at it and I felt like I was not even able to prove my innocence. No apology was given for the staff error. Very surprised as I was a regular customer and quite liked this place. Will be taking my custom elsewhere. This interaction was rude and unprofessional. Is that how you treat your loyal customers?

Wonderful family run pub in a nice location, have stayed twice now and can assuredly state that it is a proper gem. The food is top notch and the service is second to none. I truly felt as if I’d come home (all be it 130 miles away) I would like to say a resounding thank you to all of the staff for an oasis in a sea of drab

Great food. The wings are on another level of flavour, and the staff are lovely and very helpful. My place of choice for both food and coffee.

Service poor, steak was cold and tough but lovely pub garden.

I only went for a family meal here so cannot comment on rooms et

Not great. One of the only things we could have had on the menu was jacket potato, but they had none!

Spot of lunch. Very welcoming staff, great choice of meals. We had fish pie and a chicken ceasar salad. Very nice.

As I'm gluten free and dairy free I struggle to eat out, this pub is amazing because they cater for my needs and it's also great service what more could you want :)

Food was great and well priced. Perfect for a working dinner!

Food was excellent. Only problem they gave a vegetarian bacon 🥓 with their starter this spoilt it for us. Sorry 😞

Fantastic pub. Highly recommended!

Fancied a nice pub lunch, was very disappointed. I think a lot of the food comes frozen or pre made. The food was expensive but if it was good quality it would have been good value. Service was good but couldn't make up for the low grade food supplied.

Food was fairly Good not the best

3 of us came for Fathers Day. Each course was delicious & every one who works there is most friendly, welcoming & attentive. Recommend 100%. I took a pic of my main course which was a creamy stuffed chicken.

Lunch at The Prince of Wales in Ampthill was really good as usual. Relaxed atmosphere, friendly, helpful and efficient staff. A must go to place

Had a lovely meal for our son's 🎂

Meal was OK but could have been hotter.

Late lunch today for a friend's birthday and we really enjoyed it first time eating here since new owmers and it was very nice .Service very good food arrived quickly and was very nice

Only went in for drinks ,staff very nice . The meals that I saw coming out of kitchen look good

The Prince of Wales is a good place to stay if your visiting family in the area, the staff are very friendly and helpful, the food is good and reasonable priced. I would stay hear again and would recommend it to others

Lovely Lovely food amazing staff

Very good experience overall in this place. Good portion of food, it looks clean and bright. I like the decoration. I will go back

Great food and great service. Try the hot chicken wings at your own risk, you have been warned.

Great service. Good quality food and ideal portions. Really recommend it

Nice old pub with nice bar staff and good food. Recommended.

This was a drop in for lunch whilst in Ampthill for the day. Sunday lunchtime, a party of six not wanting a full meal, but we were welcomed warmly. Excellent service and really nice food. Well done Prince of Wales.

A nice pub food wise. A better selection would be good. A little pricey as well.

Had lunch. Very good service and cheerful helpful staff. Food ok too. Will visit again

Lovely food, nice pub atmosphere with lots of beer choices! Lovely evening

The service was impeccable! All the staff were friendly and the place was clean and tidy. We had a couple of drinks and a shared muscle plate as we weren't too hungry. But it's was served quickly and tasted amazing. The coffee was really nice too. If I'm in the area, I'll definitely come back.

Really friendly pub, the staff are always chatty and welcoming.

Absolutely brilliant local pub. Proper food, great selection of beers and amazing staff who are always welcoming and friendly. Great to have a place like this so nearby! Fantastic!!

Great little pub/restaurant.....they say they are dog friendly and they are.....the dogs are welcomed better than there owners 😁 we had a great meal and drinks with friends.

Cosy intimate pub with an excellent menu

What a lovely warm welcome we had today at the Prince of Wales. Staff were amazing and were so pleasant to us and our mini dachshund. We will be coming back, many thanks

Modern, clean and spacious pub. Good value food, excellent gluten free menu, not too busy but limited parking.

A very pleasant experience for our Christmas party meal. Good food, good service.

Went in for a couple of scoops after work .... Guinness was good ... All decked out for Xmas ... Nice place .... Will probably return for a meal

Good old pub food menu. Lovely and clean feel with welcoming stagf

Lovely pub. Lovely food and reasonable prices. Would return

Friendly welcome and excellent table service! Great choice of beers and good food !!!!

Nice coffee machine Great service, nice staff and a good selection of drinks and food.

Went for lunch today with the ladies from MBC. The food was delicious! Served freshly cooked. Lots of choice. Reasonably priced, however, drinks are fairly expensive, so be warned. Staff very pleasant and very helpful. Thank you 😊

Our first visit for some time. Cheerful and helpful staff. Sampled some new ales and was pleasantly surprised by their flavour.

Went to celebrate a friends birthday who is over from Spain.From start to finish service was excellent. Food was really good. Desserts were really nice. Will definately be back. In all a good afternoon spent in Nice surroundings.

It had a very nice atmosphere workers where really nice food came fast and tasted really good I recommend

Long time since visited.Just served food during lockdown through a window and no.food!.Everything changed,new staff from January.Lunchtime snack good and I will return.

A great place to eat and drink- Food was fantastic, reasonably priced and very good gluten free options. Service was excellent too. Will definitely be back again!

Lovely pub inside, we sat in the garden which was perfect on a sunny afternoon.

Great food here beware the hot wings are dam hot!! Lol friendly staff

Absolutely amazing place. Stayed there for weeks and couldn't of been made to feel more welcome. The owners Jen and David, beautiful people who will go out of their way to make your stay as great as possible. Food top notch by Nick who catered for us when things weren't even on the menu. Totally love the place and will definitely be going again for pleasure and not work. Lovely meeting you guys. Much love ❤️

Friendly pub with a good selection, live music and decent BBQ.

Excellent food. Flexible for kids meals and the service is great and Tthey make you feel relaxed.

We were talking amongst our group about how the garlic bread didn't have any garlic bread on it, and one of the waitresses shouted at us about how they use garlic butter aggressively. Which put us on edge, we were going to pay, they refused payment and made it difficult for us to leave, then a manageress pushed my partner off the property for our complaints.

Really friendly staff, great English breakfast, accommodation clean modern and very comfortable. I would definitely visit again

Nice to have the Prince back as a top venue.

Visited 16th April. Sat outside in the sunshine. Lovely place, nice atmosphere. Would recommend.

Just wasn’t what I was expecting unfortunately. All our mains (two burgers, one chicken burger and sausage and mash) were just about adequate for us not to complain but overall it was all very bland and dry, lacked sauce or flavour. But then we has dessert and it was just a not as expected. All of the desserts were microwaved regardless of what it was, I mean they microwaved a shortbread with caramel which made it a plate of butter. We were not asked during our meal if we wanted more drinks which someone in party did and just overall was a bit of an average experience. Sorry wouldn’t recommend definitely better places nearby.

Excellent. Fish and chips better than the Ivy.

Nice new owners. Glad the restaurant is back. Good menu and friendly staff

Just had a boiled chicken burger not even a bit of salt or pepper on it and a tiny splash of mayo not a lettuce leaf in site disappointing for a 10 quid burger

Haven't been for a very long time & pleasantly surprised. Sat outside which was nice ☺️

Now under new management. Friendly and helpful staff .Nothing was too much trouble. Stayed the night and the rooms were clean and comfortable with some nice touches. Great choice for breakfast...we had full English which was great.Yes I would stay again.....many thanks to all at Prince of Wales.

Went into the Prince of Wales for a quiet drink with my daughter... was served a very nice glass of Merlot. Its clear that the new owner knows his wine as its quality was excellent. I noticed at the bar an interesting Bedford brewed ale ..Will try next time. Worth a visit and good to support local pubs ..the tiered pub garden will smash this season

Went for midday lunch and meal was ok - but nothing special.

Great food and service. Really recommend.

Great burger lovely staff and love the decor. Would have been nice if some music was played..... Great food
