The Prince Of Wales in Cardiff

Wetherspoon pub situated in an old theatre which is still there. A great pub on the inside. 2 floors. Very popular with everyone. Students shoppers commuters everyone. Changed hands a few times over the years but has settled into being a Wetherspoon. Food ok. Booze good. Situated around the corner from train station and bus station it’s always busy with a nice atmosphere. Lots of single ppl through to big groups. Can get very busy on wkds but lots of very hard working staff who don’t let h standing too long at bar. A great pub for a quick pint or a night out. Busy alll day. Everywhere in central Cardiff is close as are lots of the shops and pubs and restaurants. Being a Wetherspoon cheaper than other pubs. Worth a visit and pint just for the interior. It’s quite something.

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.

A really great whetherspoons and nice vibe

Was a great pub, very busy..ordered via app.. drinks band food arrived quickly. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff ..will definitely be back .

Long time since I visited this pub.It was a bit dour last time I was in here. However,the joint was jumping as they say,the service was excellent and, obviously,the prices were great. I would definitely go back again sometime soon.

The worst triple burger I eat ever , was extra burn

Quick service. Refreshing drink. Lovely atmosphere

The best thing here is the infinite chocolate and the beer. Amazing how big It is from the inside. Anyway I would prefer if there were more accesible restrooms.

Great Pub. Food--small portions amd very basic. Cheap prices

A real busy bar, but cheap. Plenty of space to eat and drink. Staff are friendly and standards are good.

Service was very fast and staff are pleasant. Been in whilst visiting in cardiff if you're visiting it's a good place to go

A great pub with cheap drinks and nice atmosphere staff look a little stressed but overall nice place to drink.

Good selection of refreshments. A pretty good atmosphere. Great prices 😁👍🏻 It was really busy yesterday, packed, but once we managed to find a table we ordered food and drinks and they came really quickly. Really good service 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Excellent to take every meal of the day. Great value for your money. Coffe and other hot beverages are free refill.

Good soup they get 5 big bangs bang bang bang bang bang 😎

This is a lovely wetherspoons. It's an old converted theatre with a lot of old world charm. Food is good. 5 star spoons to be fair

Always busy problem to find table to eat food

They do not like filling the coffee machines and food service can be better

After my award in catering in 1992. Health care and defence award. This is some fantastic place yet again where a thank you and respect keeps this weatherspoons here for us all to enjoy special moments together.

We popped in here a couple of times during some time in Cardiff. The service was always quick, the drinks and food always good and staff were always friendly!

Ordered through the app and the drinks arrived very quickly. Nice atmosphere, and lots of space around the table... after some other pubs felt as if they were cramming you in. The prices were also much better value than other city centre pubs in Cardiff.

Great pub , God atmosphere. Great price on the drinks . Beer was excellent, friendly staff .

As usual.. An excellent Wetherspoons

Jobe was lovely at the bar, amazing service and friendly face

The atmosphere of this Weatherspoons is truly unique inside, and it's a large establishment with outdoor seating and an upstairs with spacious window seating. We enjoyed a few drinks outside and would recommend.

Jobe at the prince was an amazing bartender. Great service!

Lovely pub, with good food. The staff are friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly.

I was served a cold breakfast which had been standing for ages. The toast was dry. The plate Was a disgrace. I don’t know how the person in charge of the kitchen allowed it out.. I informed the member of staff and nothing was done about it. To be fair I did see other breakfasts that looked fine. Perhaps I should’ve just sent it straight back, but I ate it one of the worst breakfast I’ve ever eaten.

Lovely fish & chips coors nice one of the better witherspoon

Always have a laugh with friends here. Staff are amazing xx

Multiple floors and bar counters throughout

Finally a great Wetherspoons. Converted theatre and makes the most of it. Better service and cleanliness than a normal spoons

Popped in here for a drink while shopping in Cardiff on holiday. I can honestly say I have never been in a more disgusting, dirty pub. This place has real potential and the staff that were working were clearly trying their best and working hard, there just wasn’t enough of them to deal with all the clientele. We ordered on the app but the drinks took so long to be served we went and helped ourselves as they were sitting on the bar for at least 10 mins. There were dirty glasses piled on every table and the dirty plates were stacked on the floor in the entrance to the kitchen. Everything felt understaffed, unloved and generally grubby.

Very good value plus we had breakfast spent most of our 3 days in there

We ordered food and the food came very quickly

Great atmosphere. Close to station. Portions very small.

Meal was messed up gave rice instead of chips, my autistic client was upset took ages as bar busy, was told chips would be brought over straight away ! After going back to the bar again they arrived 10 mins later ! I was not impressed ! Also noticed large increase in food prices some doubled ! All day brunch in Newport £4.95 Cardiff £10.50

Great pub. As it's a Wetherspoons, you know what to expect.

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

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.

Just awful !! Ordered an ultimate burger when came ot looked like a 50p burger x thin, dry and freezing cold ' took it back to the bar when it came back I think it was the same burger as nothing had changed it was disgusting ! Didn't have time.e to complain again but will definitely NOT be returning

Great place in the centre of Cardiff

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!

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

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

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!

One of my regular pubs and always cheap

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.

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

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

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!

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

One of the better Spoons in Cardiff centre.

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

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

£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.

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

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.

‘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 !

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

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.

It's a weatherspoons what more can you say

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

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 😭😭
