The Princess Of Wales

Went for a drink at 1130 today while on a walk down the river. Ended up staying for lunch and would thoroughly recommend it. A good selection of beer, impressive menu and most of all lovely staff. Really friendly and welcoming and dealt with a slight delay in my main course arriving with charm and warmth. Would recommend unreservedky.

I've just been to this pub with my 3 yr old daughter because I understood it to be a friendly family pub. However, after less than a minute of entering a man who told me he was a staff member, despite the fact that he was standing at the bar drinking, told me my daughter should not have been near the bar. He was very aggressive and my young one was quite upset. I certainly won't be returning.

My family and I arrived at this pub on a Thursday afternoon, partly to escape the rain, and were greeted by a very friendly, young barman. He offered samples before buying different beers and there were 4 ales on tap. Our group sat and had a couple of rounds and several packs of crisps and scratchings, whilst watching the darts. Then the shift changed and an unpleasant man came over and told us that it was a pub not a playgroup and that the kids should shut up. We finished our drinks and left. The sign that says kids welcome until 7pm is a lie. A real shame, as we had really enjoyed everything until that point and nobody in the almost empty pub had raised any objection to the presence of the children.
