The Prince of Wales in Barnet

We were a party of 7 celebrating a friend's birthday. We were very impressed by the newly renovated premises. It is light and bright. The food was excellent and the service was good too. Will definitely visit again.

** Under New ownership ** Myself my wife and son had an excellent experience at The Prince of Wales. Our server was Louis and he was superb. Service from all of the staff was of a very high standard and extremely professional. The food was very tasty, we had the beef burgers and dessert was equally as good. The new referb is stunning! We really enjoyed our time at the Prince of wales and will definitely be back to try the roast dinner! Thank you for taking such great care of us today! 😎

We enjoyed our first trip to the POW yesterday and though the decor was lovely. Good vibe inside. The food was good, although a little pricy for everyday meals out, we would come again for a special occasion. Service was also good generally. All in all, we were very happy with our first visit and will definitely be back to prop the bar up at some point soon.

So lucky to have a pub in the village again. Definitely recommend the beef roast was cooked very well and delicious. The staff are very attentive and on hand when needed. Thank you and will be back soon.

We visited the day after opening. The remodeling of the space is great and can see the beer garden area filling up fast in summer - some outdoor space seems reserved for restaurant. Food was good quality and the 6 year old particularly enjoyed levelling up the ice cream dessert! Service was great and could tell everyone was doing their best to make it a positive experience.

We had Sunday lunch today and it was a brilliant experience. The newly refreshed pub is stunning and we were greeted so warmly including our dog who was made a fuss of. The food was superb quality, the service was excellent and the atmosphere was wonderful. We are so happy to have such a great venue locally to us. Thank you for a lovely Sunday afternoon we cant wait to come back.

Thank you for opening your doors once again with a new look and menu. This is my second visit in a week and the food does not disappoint. Great to have an inclusive, local venue catering for all generations with a garden space and parking!!

Been looking forward to this opening for months. It’s gorgeous inside, great interiors to and a lovely wine selection.

One craft beer or IPA away from being an amazing pub.

Lovely food, friendly staff. Cheerful surroundings.

Our first visit since refurb. Nicely done. Good food and excellent service. Only gripe was the toilets which have to be accessed via steep staircase, although there is a disabled toilet on ground level. Will definitely return.

Had a lovely meal here. Arrived and seated promptly. Offered drinks quickly whilst looking at the menu. We had the chicken liver parfait which was rich and smooth. I had the dressed crab. It was so fresh, I was very happy. My husband had the pork tomahawk which he said was fantastic. He then had the lemon meringue tart which was very popular. The service was friendly, lots of staff around, the atmosphere was buzzy with all ages. Lovely bright dining room with the outside area just waiting for a warmer summer day. We appreciated the two dining areas - with or without dogs - which caters for everyone - well done. Really enjoyed our evening well done all 👍

I had a wonderful experience at this place with my family. Ms. Noemi, Italian lady, was very welcoming and kind, making sure everything was perfect, she is a treasure for this company. The walls have a beautiful colour, and the wallpaper adds a Victorian stylish touch. The power plugs colour are brilliant and are well-placed and convenient. The Victorian style sofas and cushions are very comfortable, making the space feel special and inviting. The tiles look elegant, and the welfare facility, wwwwoooowwww, valves, chair, and Victorian details oh my god, I love to live in that place, are well designed and clean. The proper Victorian paintings on the walls add a classic and charming feel to the place. The floor laminate colour is lovely, and the lights on the walls create a warm and pleasant atmosphere. We have ordered stakes, wwooowww there is no word to explain the quality of the welldone stake, dessert……. Ohhhh, pistachio souffle, ahhh , how can I explain it??? Everything on one hand, on the other hand, the Victorian window ROBS are a great addition, giving a sophisticated look. The tiles on the ordering area walls enhance the design beautifully. Lastly, the waiter and waitress outfits are smart and professional, making the whole experience feel even more special. Overall, a fantastic place with great experience. Strongly recommended to everyone.

We ate here today and had the pie and mash. And also the burger. The food, service and ambience were exceptional. We will be back again very soon.

I was really looking forward to making this new local pub a regular spot, but unfortunately my experience last night left a lot to be desired. I ordered a passionfruit martini (almost £12), which was served barely half full. I’d only had one sip when I politely raised it with the bartender, hoping for a quick and respectful resolution. Instead, I was met with rudeness and dismissiveness. He didn’t offer an apology or even an explanation — he simply walked away, leaving me feeling belittled and embarrassed, and made me feel as though I was just trying to get a free drink. After this me and my friends felt like we had to leave and went to another pub down the road where we had a much better experience As someone who genuinely wanted to support a new local business, this treatment was incredibly disappointing. A bit of basic respect and customer service goes a long way, especially in hospitality. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and addresses how customers are spoken to and treated at the bar.

Lovely refurb and great food and service. Well done

Went to check the pub out tonight with the dog. Whilst the place looks great I’m not sure it particularly laid out to be dog friendly. Dogs only allowed in the bar or outside. Bar has chairs that are high off the ground so if you have a small dog they or you won’t get to see each other much. You can use the garden but the bit were dogs are allowed has pebbles & very small as an area. Pub says it has dog menu but if they are not allowed in the restaurant then you need to order food in the bar which hasn’t got the same menu. A little disappointed as we couldn’t interact with our dog and she spent the whole time looking up at us. Didn’t manage to get any food.

OMG, what a transformation. They must have spent a fortune on the place. Fantastic looking, the restaurant is huge. Didn't eat, just in for ale. £12ish for and ale and a peroni, which were both lovely. Beautifully decorated and very clean, which you expect from a new pub. Bar staff very friendly and efficient, especially Bailey and Rohan. Let's hope it takes off, as thank god its not a box of lego houses. Paul

Lovely refurbishment. Great food, (lamb shanks). Friendly staff. Superb atmosphere. Only one negative, they don’t accept cash. Hopefully they will change this…. An asset to the Village

Exorbitant food prices for the pub located in East Barnet village.It doesn’t make any sense to me. Good luck with your reopening.

Excellent meal at the Prince of Wales, food service and surroundings were excellent. Having frequented the old Prince on hundreds of occasions I have to say the refurb has transformed the venue without actually changing that much. We'll done to all concerned.

The pub looks fantastic and the food tasted amazing. The prices may be slightly higher than a standard pub but the food is definitely not standard. The roast beef tasted delicious and the starters and desert were also mouthwatering. The staff were so friendly and helpful, we will definitely be returning. Don’t compare it to an average pub you’re used to, more like the Gate in Arkley, only better with no difficulties in parking. There is a free public car park across the road and plenty of street parking. We’re lucky to have such a nice place on our doorstep.

Recently refurbished pub. Nice dining areas both inside & out. Good selection of food & drink. Nice feel about the place, would definitely go again.

Food was delicious and very well presented. Staff were very attentive, polite and friendly. Will definitely return.

Amazing experience. Really polite friendly and helpful people! The place is beautiful and the food delicious. Don’t skip the dessert as it’s a must have! Definitely will come back and bring my friends and family. Thank you!

Visited newly refurbished and new owners. Great delicious food almost Michelin star standard and menu choices reflect quality. Lovely country style decor and ambient background music. The staff were brilliant, welcoming and made the experience enjoyable and friendly. Our waiter Stelios was the star of the event and nothing was too much for him to make a great evening enjoyable and memorable. Definitely going back. Will consider for Christmas lunches nearer the time. A rewards scheme is needed with offers similar to other high end pubs in the area will keep customers choosing this pub first and keep going back .

Outstanding renovation has left an impressive and inviting space to eat and drink. Very good selection on the menu and in the bar inc wine list. Enjoyed our family meal there: the starters and deserts particularly.

Had a great evening at the Prince of wales last night. All the staff were very friendly and welcoming, our waiter stelios was happy to answer and help with any questions we had. The menu was very good, the starter and main, lamb shank was delicious, the whole ambiance of the prince of wales gave us very good vibes.would definitely recommend.

My teenagers & I had lunch at the newly-opened Prince of Wales, it was one of the loveliest meals we've had in memory. Beautiful decor, delicious food & drink, friendly and attentive staff. We'll definitely be returning, especially as it's a 5 minute walk from us!

Absolutely brilliant food and service. So glad that this place re-opened and adding a spark to brighten the social life in Barnet.

Great atmosphere, very good food. The lemon meringue tart and croquettes were a real treat!

An absolutely gorgeous visit - stunning food. The Chocolate Delice and the cheese soufflé were highlights, but everything was delicious. A perfect date night!

Fantastic to see the Prince reopened. Still very much a pub, plus excellent food (way above our expectations) and lovely garden where we enjoyed a cocktail. All staff were amazing for the opening. We ate a delicious meal - loads of options - we had the bream and crab for mains, catered well to gluten free (me) and varied kids menu for our son. We are delighted to see the pub reopen but also have a very decent gastro pub restaurant finally in the area. We will return!

Been in a few times. Food is reasonable. If you're not a sports fan you might think of another place for your drinking fix.

Excellent food, nice atmosphere and lovely staff. Bonus points for the customer parking at the back.

Good was partly cold, proseco not sparkling, serbice 6/10.

Good food amazing value, lovely barmaid.

Real shame if this place closes for good. Great local pub and used by the community.

Terrible news that it is to close unless the community can save it as a community amenity - Turn up on Tues 16/1/24 and try to keep A proper pub in the area

We went to the local and was surprised to get id’d by a teenager. We offered a photo of the driving licence but were turned down. Now my problem is not with the fact she id’d us, she was just doing her job, but it was blatant enjoyment of being superior. This girl did not look old enough to work in a pub but yet the air of arrogance she carried with her she nailed like an aristocratic policeman on steroids.

Amazing Christmas dinner served by Katie and her staff, made a lovely effort, felt so welcome. Recommend to everyone

I just like the place. Has a brilliant beer garden, great choice of draft selection and shows multiple sports events if needed! When the sun's out, nowhere better to be!

Lovely pub with festive decorations and beautiful table layout for our group lunch. Great food. Good portions. Thank tou

Recommend to everyone who lives nearby.

Had a great evening for Christmas meal, food was excellent and plenty for your money. Had chocolate torte with sorbet was gorgeous. Staff were friendly and helpful would definitely recommend and go ago. Thank you

We're enjoy the meals we have today

ordered steak was cooked as requested but had horrible oily smell and was greasy. friends had the same and could not finish their meals for the same reason

Friendly local pub with good food, reasonably priced & you can watch live sport 👍

Surprisingly great evening. Compliments to the DJ cos the playlist was... Well, intensely brilliant.

Great village pub without being all spit and sawdust. Decent food, good drinks and awesome staff make it being “the only pub in the village” a bonus not a chore!

Excellent place to visit. Friendly staff, lunch was excellent. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area

It's our local, but won't be going there again. Had a fish pie and burger for mains. And rhubarb crumbles for dessert. Got sick during the night. This is the second time in a row that food was dodgy.

Good food and service. Not bad atmosphere.

What a lovely pub! Staff are super friendly

Great service , just a couple of drinks and some desserts but Nathan and Jamie were excellent very friendly and efficient . Will definitely go back.

Held my Mothers Wake here. They cornered off the back of the restaurant which leads out to the garden for us which was lovely and felt private. The staff were courteous & respectful and were always on hand if needed. The food was really good, and so much of it, more than enough per head. At a obviously difficult time, everyone commented at just how nice the wake had been. Thank you to all the staff at The Prince of Wales

I don't use this pub Very often. So no further commit.

Great watering hole and a place to rest. Staff were nice and quick to serve. Clean and friendly. Sat outside. Clean area. Nice tables decor and umbrellas for shade. Nice decor inside to. Offering Christmas meal bookings in August

Our food was really good, steaks cooked to perfection. I think this pub will be great to visit during the week when it's less busy. Only complaint was that it smelt constantly like cigarette smoke even inside the restaurant due to the doors being open towards the garden where people are smoking.

Lovely polite staff, clean pub and real community feeling. Dog friendly (one even has his own seat at the bar)! Nice music, decent wine selection. Haven’t eaten here but took my family and friends for drinks on Christmas Eve and they found space for us even though it was busy. Glad to have it as my local.

After refurbishment place looks good, have been here few times for dinner but tonight was disappointing. I had the 10oz Ribeye steak which was not in my opinion 10oz but I ordered it medium, and it came burnt on the outside to the degree it tasted like charcoal & was really tough & chewy. I returned it & waited for around 15/20 mins for another steak but when it arrived it was exactly the same, small, burnt & tough. So disappointed ! So not value for money & gave up, will not be returning or if I do will definitely not be ordering steak again ! Other members of party had burgers which were fine. Food used to be much better though 😔

Very relaxing & comfortable seating.

I had a retirement party for 30 people last night. The buffet food was delicious and very good value. The quantity was very generous and the service excellent. Every member of my party commentated on the food & we all had a great evening. I would highly recommend it.

Very disappointed on our second visit.... First time we been there 22nd of June and were surprised how good service and atmosphere is ! Girl was working behind the bar she was amazing! Keeping everything under control. Second time we went yesterday 29th of June and we were shocked! All bar table full of empty glasses and boys working behind the bar ignored that. Being busy talking with their friends. Tables around us not being cleared... We quickly had one drink and went somewhere else. Very disappointed! Won't go there again. Its nice place but staff behind the bar don't know what they are doing...

The staff are so nice and helpful, I love it here.

Great pub. Tasty and sweet food.

Great food with menu selection and the service is amazing.

A good pub in which to celebrate.

The staff are young but friendly and professional, this is rare in pubs these days. The place is always clean to a high standard.

Local friendly pub with great staff. Food fantastic and great atmosphere. Lovely garden too

We had Fish and Chips as traditional in England on a Friday night! Very good!

More of a food pub, the food is good but value not great. Garden looks nice but it was shut when we went. Nice toilet

Staff are awesome and service is good

Very clean and beautiful place, loved the food too. Nice garden and friendly staff

My friend and I were there yesterday. Staff are friendly and nice. Unfortunately, I must give them a negative review. My one star review is coming from the two of us getting food poisoning. I almost threw up in the bus home as I was nauscious while my friend got diarrhea. I also got stomach issue today (still do) but my stomach reacts slowlier..

Very fun time very good service, good shots! Thank you for your time in reading this review! It’s been fun

Fun night out, chill vibes with good music. Bar staff very friendly and quick service. Dog friendly pub too!

Worked around the corner for 2 and a half years & I’d always come with colleagues and friends. Always a 10/10 experience every time

Nice place to drink always, lovely staff who always givr you a good sense of welcome and happiness.

We ordered with my friend beef burgers and they were raw. My friend ask to cook more and they served the same one. Mine was half cooked and half completely raw. My daughter’s kid burger was over cooked, very hard. I was really disappointed. It’s a shame because is a nice pub. Clean and modern. But I won’t eat there anymore.

Very nice pub. Great beers. Food looks interesting although haven't tried any yet. Can't wait to go back!

Good food, good value for money. Recommend you book a table.

Excellent place to watch the rugby with friendly smiling staff

Prince of Wales Barnet is a very cosy place to chill out and unwind . The ambience is very nice and attractive with enough space to host a party, watch live sports and enjoy varieties of drinks , coffee and food. Prices are pocket friendly and the staff are very professional. I will visit there again soon, especially on the Friday DJ night.

Very noisy because of uncarpeted floors 2 beers off .would only go back at a quiet time

Love My local, great chicken wrings, and beer what’s more to want? Oh Nathan recognising you want another beer, bringing it over to your table with the card machine! So you don’t have to move! Friendly local pub.

Good pint of Guinness. Friendly staff. This pub deserves to be busier!

5 reasons 5 stars. Amazing service, great food, brilliant atmosphere, excellent speed of service and reasonably priced. R

My go to pub. It has friendly staff and good food and amazing vibes.

Good local, we like to have a drink here

Me and my husband went there on Monday about 12ish 26.12.22. We all ordered a pint and food. Unfortunately I forgot my physical ID. I had one on my phone but the lady serving didn’t wanna hear it. It was very unprofessional and I felt treated very unwelcome most probably due to the fact I was from another country. Will never be visiting again, on top of that the food I received was cold ( the rest of the group had it nice and warm) which was probably them trying to prove a point that I’m not welcome

Friendly staff, good prices. Highly recommend

Lovely pub. Friendly and helpful staff Nathan, the manager is refreshing. Than you

Pub has been transformed. Some staff new but the regular staff still there.. Nathan is class. As mentioned in many reviews, Nath brings the personal element and the respect.. makes me feel at home. Thank you Nathan

Best pub. David is an amazing bartender. Nathan is very energetic and accommodating. Will be returning

Great staff, great food, great atmosphere. Overall great pub

Came to the Prince of Wales the other day. The service was excellent. David and Nathan were extremely pleasant and accommodating. Will be coming again.

Nice atmosphere. Really friendly staff and great prices.

Fantastic pub with nice amenities and good food. The bar staff are friendly and there is a good range of beers including ales on sale.

Had an very pleasant experience the other evening. Great food and great vibes. David particularly made this visit one to remember, amazing member of staff, would definitely recommend.
