Had a lovely evening! Great food and our waitress was wonderful! Sadly I didn't catch her name but when I come back I hope she's there. Thanks for the mushroom pasta recommendation!

I don't usually leave reviews, but in this instance I feel I must. Unfortunately, my experience of staying at The Prince William was overshadowed by several issues. The first. My organisation booked the accommodation for me, in order to attend an event. During this booking I had explicitly asked for my booking agent to include breakfast. I received confirmation that was the case and breakfast was included for an extra £20, please keep that amount in mind. I recieved breakfast the next morning early by request. The chef wasn't available at 0800, therefore the landlord cooked it. What can I say.. I would have probably got better value for money at weatherspoons. The poached eggs were overcooked and it was average at best. I ate most of it, and was ready to leave. I was then told I must pay for the breakfast (£18.90 incl 1 coffee). I did ask the landlord again if my booking agent had paid for the breakfast, he stated they hadn't. I had to pay, which I found unusual. On accessing my work emails later that day, it stated that in fact breakfast had been pre-booked and paid for and the landlord had just stated a falsehood. I have emailed to reconcile but had no response. Thus, it shows the character of both the landlord and the business. It started to make sense, as a lady the evening before complained as she had been charged for breakfast but had not requested it. So the key takeaways; the business and organisations lack integrity and are willing to exploit customers. Next the food is not value for money from my experience, really poor for the price. I'd you have the opportunity to eat or stay elsewhere, I would take that option.

4 of us dined here on a Tuesday night, the two female staff were super friendly and welcoming, all the food was freshly prepared and delicious. My son and nephew wanted to try the Badger XXX pepper sauce, after signing the waiver (yes it's that hot) they had a go, highly entertaining, only try if you are brave enough. Good value too, give it a go.

Visited Ampthill park mid week and decided to have a stroll around town. Great pub in a good location. Very friendly staff and locals. Excellent variety of drinks served. Didn’t eat here but extensive menu available. Definitely returning next time in Ampthill.

Been there a couple of times since the most recent owners have had it and both times food and service was great. We went there yesterday and sat out the front for food and drink. There was four of us adults and two children, our starters and mains along with a round of drinks came to just over £101 which I thought was extremely reasonable. Would highly recommend the pork chop with mash and the chicken wing starters. Great jobs guys, great value and great service👌🏼👌🏼 Leon F

Small carpark and some street parking. Exceptionally friendly welcome and service for drinks and menu. Delicious, some unusual ingredients for baguettes and jacket potatoes. Chilli a speciality. Great range of beers too. The perfect town pub, good luck, keep on doing what you're doing.

Nice pub in Ampthill village not much parking however from 6 you can park out on the road. The service was good and I treated myself to a prosecco and lemon drizzle slice. The drink was on the pricey side over £8 little bottle 🍾 but the lemon drizzle cake was not only reasonable in cost it tasted great. I highly recommend the pasties and cakes on display. I'd definitely go back but I wouldn't spend the whole night here drinking it would end up costing too much 🤷🏻♀️

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 🤡

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

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?

This place has really gone downhill this year. We visited on a weekday lunchtime, and it was virtually empty. The barman clearly did not want to be there and barely acknowledged us. I asked for a burger minus coleslaw, and it arrived covered in it. My burger also had tiny bits of bone in it. My friends' scampi and chips was OK but I guess that you can't really go wrong with that. On approaching the bar to order a dessert, the barman turned his back and chose to make a call on his mobile instead. After waiting a few minutes, we decided to go to the nearby Wetherspoons instead, which was absolutely rammed and doing a roaring trade. Incidentally, don't offer a burger and a pint deal if the advertised lagers aren't available!

We are people who came to the French Horn when it was run by Jean Christophe Novelli and it was fantastic. We have come back every now and again over the years and each time it’s got worse. We went yesterday for an evening mean. We arrived and it was empty. No music no atmosphere and it was really grubby. I knew immediately it wasn’t going to be good. If we didn’t have our daughter with us who was really hungry I think we would have upped and left. The food was flavorless, took ages and was really below average. We had to ask each time we wanted more drinks and it took ages for our plates to be cleared. Understandable if it was busy- but it was not. It’s a real shame to say but we won’t be returning again. This was a real gem that has been left to fall apart.
