The Prince of Wales in Bristol, City of

A rathe rare, grown up, mellow public house, full of people babbling away in convivial conversation, drinking excellent beer or whatever they fancy. Great service and in the beer garden to the rear, young staff come around to take your top-up order. Nice touch. Nice pub, nice people.

Had an enjoyable evening with friends, we started inside then we went to an outside table. This was very pleasant way of spending a couple of hours in the fresh air. We didn't eat.

I have to say, great boozer always a warm welcome, even when I tap on the window circa 9.30 am. Top class.

Great pub, good selection of beers, no food just bar snacks, more seating at the rear and nice outside seating some undercover.

I went for a drink. Very comfortable and a good atmosphere.

We live in WoT and this is our favourite local pub. There’s been a lot of change over the last 3-4 yrs, so I’d treat some of the older reviews with caution. It’s improved a lot in recent years, and the current landlords have made a big positive difference. Plenty of courteous well trained staff, and they actively wander the pub checking if you’d like more drinks. Garden’s nice with a mix of open and covered space. For a little while they haven’t done food, and sadly the Friday evening sausages and roasties only make rare appearances! They usually have terrestrial rugby internationals showing but no Sky/BT. But overall friendly, clean, nice buzz and good service

Great staff great place to relax and unwind and meet up with friends

Lovely pub, good selection of drinks - cosy. Smallish garden area but brilliant in the summer - a sun trap sheltered from any wind with covered areas if you like some shade.

Butcombe Pub. Its a shame they don't take the Butcombe Loyalty Card.

Very good. Fast service even when packed

Great traditional pub, friendly staff. Dog friendly with another pub for the youngsters next door.

Great pub. The barman Will is super helpful.

this pub in Bristol prince of Wales it's a great pub people are very nice there welcome you nice place to drink in

Nice pub! I've been there a few times now and I always felt great there! Not too noisy, not too crowded and good selection of beers! I haven't tried food though

Friendly atmosphere with top caring people

Excellent pub. Great beer. Wonderful staff, apart from Ben Jones, needs a hair cut.

Always having a good time at the prince of wales

Proper pub decent Cider, fantastic service

Nice friendly pub with good selection of drinks.

Not been here for at least four years and what a vast improvement. All the scruffy old furniture has been ditched and in the main bar/lounge area replaced with high tables and very comfortable high stools. And it is much cleaner, and there has clearly been a change of licensee. It was pretty quiet for a Friday night. Of course there is no standing at the bar so that might account for it. Beer was well kept.

Great pub, with lovely beer garden

Having lived in Westbury on Trym for many years, I have watched with great interest the highs and lows of all its pubs. The Prince has always been one of the better classy pubs in Westbury until recently. Despite serving a decent real ale or two, unsavory characters have infiltrated the pub. There is no food server any more, and foul and abusive language is now common place. Drug taking in the toilets is clear and obvious to all. Builders in filthy workwear slouch in every corner. The management is week, or just does not care! In any event, many of the old regulars are drinking elsewhere to avoid the regular drug and alcohol fueled fights that are now common place outside the pub. Such a shame.

The pole dancer wasnt very good..the one in the garden was much better.

Banginnn all round!!! The atmosphere was lovely. Had a smashing conversation with Ben our waiter who was quick and got the job done . Really lovely staff over all.

Amazing pub great staff great drinks

Black Swan next door wouldn't let us in unless we used their app. So it was a no brainer to pop next door to the Prince. Can't see any reason to go back to the Duck any time soon, even when the lock down is over. Prince was altogether more friendly and welcoming.

Gorgeous bar staff. Always been the case here. Great pub too, nice clientele, no riff raff.

A great local pub, full of atmosphere, good beer and dog friendly

Best public house in Westbury on trym

Lovely pub, the beer is good although a bit pricey.

Wonderful staff, cosy, busy pub, and they put on free bar snacks, (sausages and roast potatoes, lumps of cheese and pineapple). Brilliant. The beer was excellent, (London Pride and Toby something). Definitely recommend

Nice decor good beer polite staff reasonable food menu

Great pub, great staff, lovely little boozer !

Me and the boys regularly come here. It’s one of many pubs a mid way point between our houses. However on a Friday they bring out free sausages and roast potatoes which just makes POW the first choice. Great staff. Great ambience. Would recommend if looking for a great local with lots of regular faces.

A 'locals' pub but very friendly if you are towards them. Good service, good beer and a great atmosphere.

Outstanding place to watch the Rugby Six Nations - free sandwiches and chips at half time :)

Very nice pub. Staff attentive and nothing a problem for them. Very nice place to visit for a beer, on your own or to meet friends.

Great pub, great atmosphere, great place

Friendly... Nice touch on Friday with free food from 6:30 - just wish they had more craft beers. Very ltd in that respect.

Nice pub. Even though it's in a city it has a very 'local feel. Quiet in the week and lively and social on the weekend.

The regulars like to dominate the bar at entrance door and be very loud, not particularly very friendly pub. 😕

He estado algunas veces con mi esposa y mi hijo. Bonito jardín, eso es todo. Claramente, principalmente para los locales y claramente no aprueban a los visitantes. Servicio desagradable e indiferente. Precios exorbitantes. 1 pinta y 2 medias pintas 11. 40. Las mismas bebidas en un Pub amistoso no muy lejos 7. 40. Disfruta de tus ricos lugareños.

Visited for a Sunday roast, something that seems hard to find in Bristol. Really good value. Five choices including a vegetarian. We both had beef, cooked to perfection with more veg than we could eat. Great homemade puddings, will defiantly be back. A real find, home cooking and really reasonably priced.

Visited here many a time but never reviewed. All my visits have been during lunch. Decent pub grub with a reasonable choice. Bit of character to the place. Nice seating area outside and staff are accommodating. Worth a visit with prices about average.

Recently visited the pub to find a new dinning area outside which was very nice good tables to eat a well cooked meal from good seats and beautifully flowers great pjaad to go for a meal

This pub USED to be the pillar of the community sadly it has lost its way. Not very welcoming however bar staff are ok For Camra members please note beer quality is poor. Not a great range. If you want a soft drink and it comes from the handheld dispensing gun then good luck as this pub has a constant problem with Co2. Soft drinks often served flat. You need to try it to realise how good the other Westbury on Trym pubs are

nice pub with well kept beer and no kids running around, on Sunday lunchtime they bring out delicious roast potatoes and sausage which is brought to your table (a nice touch) also cheese at the bar intend to go back and try there Sunday Lunch

What a great welcome we received. One of our party needs a walking aid and finds getting about a bit difficult but the staff at the Prince of Wales could not have been more friendly and helpful. I enjoyed a nice couple of pints, the food was excellent and plenty of it. It got a little noisy in the bar when the rugby was on the TV but what else would you expect. It did not concern us because by that time we were about to leave anyway. On the way out one of the customers went out of his way to help. If I lived in the area, this would definitely be my local.

Great pub with friendly staff and great pub grub Sunday lunch looked great but you do need to book as there aren't many tables

This is a classic pub. It concentrates on it's beers and offers a great range. There is pub tv (lots of screens) especially sports and the atmosphere is just like the oldfashioned pubs - especially Friday evening and also when we went back on a Rugby Saturday.

We have been visiting this pub at various stages over the last 15 years, through its various incarnations. Some of the managers have been good, but we stopped going recently as there was no food and poor management. There is a new team with a tenant rather than a manager. He has made a number of changes including removing some of the wonderful Victorian cartoons and painted the indoor walls white. Whilst it might look cleaner personally I think it has lost some of the character. We had lunch- fish and chips and a steak sandwich. It was ok - perfunctory rather than served "with love". Whilst we will still occasionally pop in for a beer as that is still good, we will not eat there as there are better pubs in the area for food.

This was my first visit to the Prince of Wales for several years. We wanted somewhere to have lunch whilst discussing some papers prior to a meeting. The pub was fairly empty so lacked atmosphere but this was probably because of the time of day. The menu was, for the most part, a throwback to the old days of pub food - fish and chips, ham and chips etc. However the quality and the quality of the food was very good and we left feeling that we had received value for money.

The new management have really made a difference to this pub. It now has a much fresher feel decor wise. The staff are friendly and the service is good.

New owners and much improved. Great real ale as ever but the staff and owners friendly and welcoming. Used to very occasionally use this pub as it was just "ok ish" now it's got a great atmosphere and seems like it's got a real buzz to it. Try the excellent music early evening Sunday.

I went to this pub to meet some friends. At first I thought it seemed like a nice place even though the beer was quite expensive. However, just as I was enjoying my pint I overheard the owner talking to the bar maid. He was just so rude and continuously mean to her. The bar maid had been very friendly to us and seemed to be doing a good enough job. I was appalled at the owners bullying behaviour and had to drink up and leave in disgust. I shall not be drinking there again.

The pub has just had new tenants start.. Three weeks... I have seen the one Managers pubs in the Cirencester area..lets hope he can clean this place..it's filthy.The smell from behind the bar is just gross.. Obviously spilt beer etc.. The decor is drab.. The expensive London Pride is not well kept. Looking forward to improvements.

We chose this pub for our father's wake after his passing because of the excellent buffet menu, its location and the outside space it offered. The landlord was very professional and provided a wonderful buffet, at a very reasonable cost.

This is not a restaurant. It's an overpriced pub, beer £3.90 per pint. No drinks price list displayed at bar. Landlord said they had put prices up, today,10p per pint but he had not had time to update the prices spreadsheet. That's an example of the customer service found here.

Beer vastly overpriced. No price list displayed - seems to be a Bristol habit. The landlord said they had just put all the prices up by 10p but had not had the time to update the prices spreadsheet and print it out. Obviously customer service is a top priority. Interesting decor.

Im am in ore of the exelant ale delicious food and one cute bar staff Ladies hes a peachMy evening has been superbDont miss this gem

This pub has been through its changes over the years but I can safely say that when they became a Butcombe pub it sealed the deal for me. Every time I visit Bristol I end up in here for at least a pint of Gold. Great staff with a great sense of humour. Oh and say hi to the guy with the red nose at the end of the bar. He's been there for years.
