  “Lovely pub for a drink or a meal. The food is the same as the menu at other Wetherspoons but cooked even more nicely - I had a lovely couple of vegetarian meals which I was very happy with (hence the 5*).”

  “One of the best wetherspoons around, the service is always good & the atmosphere is always what you would expect for a city centre pub. This is a starting point for many people meeting up with friends for a solid night out. Nice decor & decent surroundings, well worth a visit for lunch, brunch or a night out.”

  “The Prince of Wales is a fantastic building with plenty of character, having originally been an old theatre. There’s lots of seating and the surroundings are really impressive. It’s a Wetherspoons, so you know what to expect in terms of food and drinks. Unfortunately, the service wasn’t particularly great during my visit, although the pub was very busy at the time. Overall, a fascinating and impressive venue that’s definitely worth visiting for the building itself.”

  “Magnificent Wetherspoon renovation of a once beautiful Victorian theatre that had slumped into disrepair and neglect. How the ornate interors survived over the years is a mystery. The surrounding buildings were all together horrible and dilapidated, some having been cinemas showing adult films for many years. The interior of the POW takes your breath away. This is apparently one of JDW biggest earners in the country. Well, the money was well spent. You have to see it to really appreciate the restoration. As for the food and service, it's everything you'd expect from a busy Spoons. That is, nothing special from the kitchen/grill and the staff are rushed off their feet. It's busy from early morning 'til late at night. I urge you to visit it for the building alone.”

  “Fabulous building inhabited by the usual jdw quality products and lovely friendly staff. We pitched up at 11.30pm on a Sunday after a gig and they were excellent. Love it”

  “Dropped in for a quick lunch. Wide menu and the food was very good, well cooked and ample portions. Good choice of real ale at wonderfully crazy prices. The building itself has been tastefully converted from a former theatre. A long way from our home in the north of Scotland but we will certainly visit again when we are next down seeing family.”

  BURR GURR

  “A lovely afternoon few pints and a burger with the ball and chain. As you can see from the photo the "ultimate" burger was pretty basic. Not sure what I expected but it was literally just a burger, pickle and cheese. Beers were okay, but the Guinness tasted like the lines needed a scrub. However as far as a spoons goes. You know what you're getting, it was in a nice area, couple minutes from Cardiff castle. Not amazing quality but it is fairly cheap as with all spoons! Nice place to chill as it was quite spacious and not too crowded”

  “A nice place with plenty of seating. The food though….. while I appreciate that this is considered a ‘fast casual’ restaurant I expected better food. We both had burgers, which were both overcooked (and they seemed to be heavily cooked on one side and very little on the other. A hilarious amount of lettuce (like two small strips) and a shout out to the chef for being able to slice the tomato so thin. I do like that most meals included a beverage in the price (alcoholic or non). The payment process was a pain. Apple Pay did not work (I am visiting Wales, so other peoples experience may be different. So I had to enter my credit card info, then enter a verification code sent from my bank, then enter my email address twice to complete the payment (oh, no option for a gratuity that I could tell). What ticks me off the most is the email address (which was mandatory). This is not for my benefit, it’s for yours. You need to prioritize customer convenience over your desire to send marketing emails to me. Do better.”
