The place was packed for a rugby match the bar was 4 deep with people and the App to table order had clearly been turned off. We were able to grab a table for breakfast within 10 mins ordered food and were told 30 min wait time which was pretty accurate and the bars were moving steadily. Considering the number of people it was a good effort by the staff

The atmosphere and service were great. A HUGE Wetherspoons. Firstly hats off to the staff who have to run around the place. The staff were very kind. We don't like to complain but I couldn't eat my brunch 😔. Bacon was cold, chip frying oil tasted like it was time for a change. Which was enough to put me off the rest. However, the staff were understanding and professional. Thank you. Kindly I was refunded. I'm gunna guess it was just one of those days. All other spoons I have been to, the quality of food has been standard and consistent.

Another good visit to a wetherspoons. Tennesse burger for me, katsu grilled chicken for the better half. Double rum and a double gin, although we were enjoying the bathtub gin and was advised they've stop doing it. App for food was not working, confusing us and many guests, but food orders were available at the bar......also, plastic mug type glasses due to rugby being on, although the bar person, did pick up a gin glass and drop it on the floor, hlass everywhere, then she was told by other staff about the plastic fay, she had just started her shift.

I came to this pub on 18/04/25 at around 9:30pm with a friend who does not identify with the gender they were born with. due to the recent news regarding gender laws, we went in the same cubicle to go to the bathroom for safeguarding reasons. a security guard followed us to the bathroom, knocked on the door, asked us to come out, and claimed that someone had told them a man had entered the women's bathroom. however, having been stopped by the same security guard moments before to communicate that we couldn't stand on the bridge between the seating area and the bar, we felt that it was unlikely that this "tip" actually took place due to the extremely quick succession of these events. we had no contact with any other members of the general public between arriving and the events previously stated. utterly shocking that my friend was made to feel unsafe due to simply presenting as anything other than feminine, and the hostility presented by this particular security guard made both of us feel extremely uncomfortable. it was unjust and uncalled for, and we will not be returning. I highly advise that any gender queer people avoid this location!

Visited this place couple of weeks ago. First time back in the uk for 7 years as an Englishman. Have to go and order your food at the bar, no option for table service and even have to go and get your own tea at breakfast, wow. Cook breakfast, was ok but served cold and I sent it back, beans must have been served from the fridge. No wonder I live abroad..

Me and my friends each bought a pint from this establishment when a larger figure came up to our table and accused us of having waved away our pint to someone else. They further gaslit us by saying they had proof on CCTV, which although they did not have proof of, we ended up paying an extra 3 quid for the inconvenience of not getting kicked out. I would therefore not recommend this place if you would like to not be haggled out of your money by other members of staff.

Stopped there for lunch..... Ordered via the app.....which after three attempts wouldn't work.....ordered at the bar with several people in front of me. One staff was at the lower end of the bar with no one there,, so a woman in front of me called her,, but totally ignored. When eventually I was served,, I mentioned about the app and was told that if too many were using the app then it wouldn't work? This was lunch time on a week day! After that food was hot & served by a waitress that couldn't raise a smile.😕

The place is huge and has at least 2 floors that i can remember. During the day there is lots of space to sit and eat but in the night it is packed to the brim with partygoers. Several times i have been in the evening and it is very congested but a good atmosphere. The food is the usual pub classics but ideal for a lunch between shopping.

Overall not a bad spot for a pre match drink, despite being very sticky (the floor that is). As you can imagine very very busy but if you don't mind crowds then the drinks are reasonably priced, as to be expected for a spoons. Little tip for you, go to the bar upstairs on Matchday, so much quicker and quieter.

We had a lovely meal at the Prince of Wales Hotel yesterday! The herb chicken was definitely the standout—flavourful, juicy, and perfectly cooked. The carbonara was nice too; while I’ve had better, it was still a solid dish. Portion sizes were decent, just enough to satisfy without feeling too much. The overall dining experience was great—a cozy spot to enjoy good food, have a chat, and soak in the relaxed vibe. Wouldn’t mind going back for another meal!

Sometimes pop in here when I'm in central Cardiff.... certainly for a couple of beers lagers or stouts and maybe a light meal also....as the name would suggest the building is an old converted theatre.... although apparently it has been other things also before it's conversion to a two story pub restaurant.... certainly upstairs one can easily see the remains of the erstwhile proscenium arch and what was the stage.... certainly the more interesting floor imao(!)....with a windowed area looking out onto Cardiff also.... downstairs a more usual Wetherspoons traditional style sprawling pub.... upstairs one can certainly experience what once was probably a quite swanky theatre!....food and drink good.... service okay.... sometimes good and friendly....then adequate.... occasionally frosty perhaps!....I would certainly give a general recommendation....

Wetherspoon pub situado en un antiguo teatro que todavía está allí. Un gran pub por dentro. 2 plantas. Muy popular entre todos. Los estudiantes compradores viajan todos. Cambió de manos un par de veces a lo largo de los años, pero se ha establecido en ser una Wetherspoon. Comida bien. Bebe bien. Situado a la vuelta de la esquina de la estación de tren y la estación de autobuses, siempre está ocupado con un buen ambiente. Un montón de ppl único a través de grupos grandes. Puede estar muy ocupado en wkds, pero un montón de personal muy trabajador que no dejan que se quede demasiado tiempo en el bar. Un gran pub para una pinta rápida o una noche de fiesta. Ocupado todo el día. En todas partes en el centro de Cardiff está cerca, así como un montón de tiendas y pubs y restaurantes. Ser una Wetherspoon más barato que otros pubs. Merece la pena una visita y pinta solo para el interior. Es bastante importante.

The perfect place to meetup with old friends. It's cheap and cheerful. This particular one is in a location that is easy to find for people not from Cardiff. We had a three hour lunch and at no time did we feel rushed. A side note. The Cardiff branches of spoon have the most fabulous ladies toilets. It is probably because they have taken over old buildings, but I would love to think all the branches are equally grand😁🤔

As far as spoons go it's a good one. Not particularly clean, but it's to be expected - it's not a spoons without a sticky table. Atmosphere is decent though, I like how they've kept the feel of a theatre. Selection of beers is very good, ciders too. Food is about as good as it gets for a spoons - so fairly average, but cheap.

Vino aquí para tomar una copa mientras compraba en Cardiff de vacaciones. Honestamente puedo decir que nunca he estado en un pub más asqueroso y sucio. Este lugar tiene un potencial real y el personal que estaba trabajando estaba claramente haciendo todo lo posible y trabajando duro, simplemente no había suficiente de ellos para tratar con toda la clientela. Pedimos en la aplicación, pero las bebidas tardaron tanto en servirse que fuimos y nos servimos ya que estaban sentados en la barra durante al menos 10 minutos. Había vasos sucios apilados en cada mesa y los platos sucios estaban apilados en el suelo en la entrada de la cocina. Todo se sentía escaso de personal, sin amor y en general sucio.

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.

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
