The Prince Of Wales in Cardiff

Long wait to get served app not working

My friends and I ordered 2 large and 2 small fish and chips, last Saturday. The small fish was of a chipolata sausage size, the large fish was not much bigger. The food was warm, not enough on the plate for the price that was charged. We did complain but the attitude of the ? Manager was quite dismissive of our complaint. We've ate in many Wetherspoons and had good value for money. This was no comparison! We will never goo there

This place is amazing it has great customer service and the waiters are so kind I would 100% recommend all food here is taste from heaven in my opinion

Delicious, convenient, very impressive

Called in for a very reasonably priced wine

Great place in the centre of Cardiff

It's a big place big but its can easily fill up. Food is kinda what you expect from a spoons

Wow, disgusting security! It's a shame that what was a pleasant night, good service and good atmosphere could be destroyed by a single security guard that clearly thought he was god! It was closing time, we were told to drink up which we did. Then a young lad who thought he was God's gift came with all the attitude stating he wanted to go home, to get out, rude and aggressive ended an otherwise good night for all. Shame on you for allowing this, never again, disgusting service, he need sacking as clearly a self indulged power trip happy youngster giving what was otherwise a good establishment a bad rep.

The service is always on point, with staff that are quick to make you feel at home. It's the kind of place where you can always expect a good time, whether it's a casual evening out or a gathering with friends for a special occasion. This pub is definitely worth checking out for its great drinks, tasty food, and inviting atmosphere. I'll certainly be back soon!

Great cheap place for full breakfast

I mean you can't really fault it for the price before a footy match. Food and drink slow to arrive but given the numbers inside, understandable.

Cracking place to meet up with friends, where you can have some food and drinks.

Very nice authentic place. Polite staff. Fresh food. And I really liked the building itself, most likely there used to be a theater here

This place is close to the Cardiff centre. The food was excellent and brilliant value for money. The staff were really helpful and there was a very friendly atmosphere in this very busy pub restaurant. Highly recommended

Nice place clean throughout,good beer, didn't have food,good prices on beers,

How can you, the Prince of Wales, increase your liquor prices from one night to the next by 20% to take advantage of unsuspecting rugby fans? On Friday 22 Nov, a round of drinks cost me £20,45, yet on Sat 23 Nov, the same drinks cost me £24,84. When I queried this, I was told that this was the price. According to the drinks menu viewed on Friday night, the lower price was correct, yet the arrogant idiot that served me on Saturday insusted thst the higher charge was correct and he probably pocketed the difference. Shame on you Prince of Wales

Bar staff only look for who they want to serve.

Beautiful Wetherspoons - pretty cool downtown Cardiff modernish pub at Wetherspoons prices!

A very poplar pub in the centre of Cardiff with lots of deal on alcohol and food it's definitely worth a visit

Went here for a couple of drinks, great place, very spacious, great atmosphere, friendly staff, overall great experience

This is a great venue for the rugby as it's in a short walking distance of the pub. Get in before the game and back in again after. Great place to soak up the atmosphere

It's a Weatherspoons! Cheap and cheerfull!

Great friendly staff and good food

The Staff were very friendly, Food is very good value for money.

Large Wetherspoon venue. Standard menu and good ale choice with usual good value.

The way the bouncers treat neurodiverse people is absolutely shocking. I support an adult who told me about his and his friends experience. They shouldn't have been treated the way they were.

Prince of Wales is great when comparing Wetherspoons. The pub is situated in an old theatre and the interior is quite aesthetically pleasing.

Can never complain about a spoons!

Came here a few times for drinks over the weekend while staying in city. Typical spoons food n drink. Table service was handy during busy periods. Pub had some interesting decor having used to be a theatre some time ago.

One of my regular pubs and always cheap

Service was fantastic. Food was nice except chips were a little undercooked. Didnt sell steak which is disappointing.Other than that i cant complain. I reccomend the lemon&herb chicken👍

We called in here for a few drinks and the place was really busy. We were lucky enough to find a table, but the service at the bar was very slow.

I am making a complaint in the way my son and his friends were treated. They are autistic and have special needs they came to have a meal and a drink and just have a nice time. One of the bouncers stopped my sons friend. He took the drink off him and threw his drink on the floor and the bouncer swear at my sons friend this behaviour from your staff is well out of order. My son and friend are so upset about it all they wanted to do is have a nice time. I would like some feed back as to know how this has been dealt with No one deserves to be treated in this way really discusscusting.

Excellent pub good atmosphere. Great choice of food and drink. Friendly staff. Loads of seating and easy to get too. Highly recommended

What a shame, that security guard won't let my deaf friend in cos of his disability, shame on you for not having a disability deaf-blind awareness, sort yourselves out!!! Clearly making out that's you know aware of disability and deafness, what a false!

Great pub ... Toilets are not too far away

Didn't eat, Had a drink. Amazing surroundings. Bar staff were lovely. Gave us the history of the place. An ex-theatre. I came here as a teenager when it was a club called Ceasers. Fun to return!

Lovely old building. Its a Wetherspoons so cheap drink. What more can I say

Very busy withies worth a visit when in Cardiff.

Very cold pub all the time never again every one froze not good can’t enjoy wen u keep coat on they should turn air con offf it’s a shame cheap aschips as well

Absolutely beautiful place. Food was delicious. The decor is just mesmerising.

Terrible breakfast everything stone cold. Eggs well over cooked. And came with a mountain of cold toast to

Very enjoyable.. Nice seat by the window upstairs watching the busy city. Food and drinks good and reasonably priced.

One of the better Spoons in Cardiff centre.

Superb , double level pub with a bar on each level , old theatre , feel the history

Good selection of refreshments. A pretty good atmosphere. Great prices 😁👍🏻

£1.99 A pint...what's not to love about this place...Great food, Great Staff, Cheap booze...lively atmosphere (especially Saturday evenings)...then back on Sunday morning for a great breakfast

I had a very enjoyable afternoon at the 'Prince of Wales', which was situated close to the main public transport links. There was an excellent choice of Real Ales on offer for under £2.00 a pint and a very good choice of standard food dishes at extremely reasonable prices, along with great service. Given that it was a Friday afternoon, the venue was very busy, which made for a great atmosphere.

It's a Spoons. Staff were friendly, but very busy. The food varied from nice to not good enough. Based on my experience I would suggest you avoid the burgers. The boneless chicken was good.

Large Breakfast was awful. Both Eggs cold and solid. You could count the beans (very few) Bacon could not be cut thinner! Nothing was HOT. The toast was the bes thing if anything. Awful for the cost.

For the price it's great value and love that they keep the old theatre vibe.

‘It does what it says on the tin’ & staff are very nice. It’s nice to pay £5.90 for two large glasses of wine & not £9 for ONE which is common in many local pubs. Food is OK but to be fair it’s much better at the Queens Vault & the Blue Bell !

Almost right outside the train and bus station, just at the beginning of the vibrant city centre. It is a sprawling building across 2 floors and was filled to the brim with people. Had a standard pub fare with the usual wetherspoon rates. But what stood out was that it's a converted theatre, a building i haven't seen used some other way before. You can see the stage rigging, and the remains of the different circles of seating. Must visit it if you're in cardiff and looking to grab a quick drink.

Lovely grand old theatre, loads of space and great staff.

Lovely old building, downstairs is like a canteen upstairs has far more character

It's a weatherspoons what more can you say

Brilliant Wetherspoons, best I've been in,there is another one but never tried it.

My fish was probably re-heated, dry, overcooked, disappointing. The staff were lovely, but our table was not cleared after 3 hours.

My fish was re-cooked, dry, chewy, batter inedible. Staff lovely but table not cleared of plates for 3 hours, Wed evening so not busy, no excuse sadly. Avoid.

This was our second eating at this location. Service was as quick and prompt. Food portions are more than adequate - had the fish and chips and a beer. The price was reasonable. Unfortunately the fries were a tad underdone - not so crisp. But overall good value.

Good breakfast here - eggs Benny were delicious and the ham on it was wonderful. But it was quite the serve yourself affair, everything from ordering to coffee and condiments, and of course it was quite a pubby surrounding for breakfast. (side note: they really need to put signs on the north doors that people should use the nearby door instead, as I watched people over and over try to use this locked door)

Pretty good. Lots of tables!! Toilets are all the way downstairs which quite a long walk especially if you're sat upstairs 😭😭

Average at best, guess that’s what you get when you go to a spoons

Time and time again I come here without doubt the best managed Wetherspoons in the UK I have been to over 100 and is great

Great place, great atmosphere, big screens for the sports also with good table service. Staff always happy to help.

Typical Spoons pub. Staff were ok. Only had a couple of pints. I took the time to check which real ales were showing on the bar before I ordered on the app only to be told the beer I chose wasn't available anymore. Checked again and although the pump badge was still showing and it was still showing available on the app it wasn't available. Pump badges need to be turned around when the beer goes off and the app should be updated.

One of the better, and more attractive Wetherspoons on Cardiff. Service very slow, better using the app, and they kept running out of pint glasses!!

A great Spoons, food arrived quickly as ordered. Not quite piping hot, hence 4 stars, very tasty though. Clean and friendly place.

Formerly a theater, now a pub. Good evolution 👍

This former theatre tastefully restored by Wetherspoons has a great atmosphere.

It's a werherspoon, very good price and good food and drinks

Visited in August Location is fab. Interior even better. Scampi and chips and 2 chicken burgers and chips. Service was quick, Just what you expect from a wetherspoons.

Nice classic uk pub, nice open space with lots of tables

The place was heaving, but we still managed to get seats. Using the app we got our drinks quickly

This place is big, lots of room , ground and 1st floor, the food was really good and fair price, impressive building as well.

My friends and I came in, and we couldn't understand where we could sit. When we finally found a place, the waiters ignored us, so we called them to clean our tables, and they only cleaned 2 out of 5. Even after a second request, they wouldn't clean and were very rude. Ordering is very complicated, and the food is not abundant in portions and not so good. The service is shockingly bad (like they continuously brought us wrong orders), and waiters are always unavailable. A vegetarian friend of mine was brought a plate with chicken, and they brought the right order just when everyone had finished. The tomato hamburger had a quarter of a slice of tomato. I'm appalled. The only good thing was the location, and it wasn't even clean.

A busier spoons, quite noisy with slow service because of volume of customers. Also slightly higher prices because of city centre location. Old cinema so plenty of interesting original features

I can safely say this was the best restaurant to have a breakfast while we been in Cardiff. It was in a very close proximity of the hotel we stayed at, the atmosphere there was enjoyable, although it was quite busy. The food was fresh and served really fast considering the amount of people present. We barely found a table in our first day, so you can imagine. I definitely recommend if you're in search for a quick meal, plenty of dishes to choose from as well.

We walked miles to look for a meal with gravy, only to have to order either fish, burgers or pork sausages. When we found out that other wetherspoons were nearby were doing pies and mash, what a waste of a holiday meal.

Called in for coffee usual weatherspoons Standard disabled toilets downstairs

Egg shell found on my daughter’s scramble egg, food and service were ok. It’s worth to pay a visit upstairs.

This pub is more for a rowdy experience rather than a quiet drink.

Packed on a Saturday afternoon/evening in the summer in Cardiff. Cheap food and drink and great atmosphere. Just what you want before hitting the other pubs and clubs

What a lovely interior! Sat upstairs by window to watch the world go by. Food was easy to order on the app and came quickly. Panini was tasty but lacked any presentation, looked like it was thrown on a plate and someone thought that'll do!

Decent, lovely inside, old theatre

A classic Wetherspoons experience, friendly staff, affordable drinks and lively atmosphere.

I've been to a number of Wetherspoons in the past but in this one I thought the portions were smaller. Don't know whether this is the case in all of them today.

Good food, good prices, great location, and since the referb is no longer worthy of its "Prince of Sails" nickname. Winner

Great pub/restaurant in historic theatre setting

Enormous . Great atmosphere. Good food at a good price. Great value.

This is worth a visit for the interior which is stunning. They have kept a lot of the old Prince of Wales Theatre. Otherwise the food was mediocre and the service poor. Not as good as others that we have visited

Very impressive looking building and the inside has been tastefully done keeping old theatre items. The service was slow and not very friendly

I am not fussy eater so maybe I'm over generous with my rating and the only reason it wasn't a five star is because the food was a bit cold but I had a belly full of beer so it could have been served of a tramps flip flop and I would have inhaled it! The staff were very busy but still made time to check we were all good and were friendly. It was great atmosphere there on a sunny day in Cardiff

Decent enough, served pretty quickly even though busy.

Great breakfast this is where we always go when we in Cardiff.

My god. I can't put into words how hideous my breakfast was. I have visions of it being swept up off the floor it was that bad. Freezing cold, eggs completely crucified, bacon was shrivvled up like a snotty tissue and the toast had obviously been hanging out the top of the toaster as half of it was bread whilst the other half was like tarmac. Never again. Anyway, come on Robert Lambert!!

On saturdays the food price rises to absurd amounts. For exemple, a Pizza worth 8 pounds is on Saturdays 13 pounds. A wrap worth 4 pounds on Saturdays is 8 pounds. Horrible!!!

Excellent, in the gaze of a big concert.

It was ok Trying to adjust to a different standard compared to what is normal elsewhere. Not blown away

Incredibly poor customer service, accidentally ordered to the wrong site, I understand that it was our mistake however, we quickly went to the bar to speak to a manger to rectify the situation. The member of bar staff who was supposedly a manager told us there was nothing they can do and we had to either call or go to the other site. So we thought we’ll take the loss and called the other site and told them we were walking over. I wouldn’t have been that bothered however when we got to the other Wetherspoons we were massively under- portioned, was stone cold and did not revive what we ordered. As people who work in hospitality and deal with this sort of issue on the daily, this was incredibly disappointing. We would like this further looked into.
