  “Despite turning up 'on spec' at the beginning of a fully booked Sunday lunchtime, the staff at the Prince of Wales nonetheless made every effort to accommodate me and my family at short-notice and we were made to feel very welcome from the outset. Thereafter, our drinks and lunch arrived promptly; the food was very good and the portions were generous and well-priced - it was difficult to fault. Suki (Front of House?) and Karen (General Manager) were both extremely kind to us at various stages, checking in every now and again to make sure that our children were ok and that we had everything we needed. Their friendly manner felt sincere, which was greatly appreciated, and we never felt rushed or intruded upon. We also felt that the pub had a lovely atmosphere and the decor throughout was very attractive. A great experience.”

  “We just travelled 40 mins to get to this pub, as the photos looked nice. We were delighted to find the effort that has gone into to this venue. We always like to go somewhere for the surroundings as well as the food. This pub is lovely and put in such a lot of effort. We didn't eat, as it was the wrong time of day, but were delighted by the pub, the size, atmosphere and staff. Parking is ample, although it is very popular so I can't be sure if there is quite enough. I will defo recommend this venue.”

  “The Prince of wales is a gorgeous pub, set amongst the gorgeous west end village. Perfect for breakfast / brunch on the weekends. Super dog friendly! We also love a roast dinner here too. We’re looking forward to autumn/winter season with the cosy change of the fireplaces being lit. Staff are always super friendly and helpful.”

  “Popped in for a late lunch after a lovely sunny Sunday riverside walk close by - both on the recommendation of Chat GPT!!! And boy was he spot on! The walk was great and the Prince of Wales was superb 👌 We had the sea bass and prawn curry followed by pistachio tiramisu - it was all delicious 😋 We were served by Owen who was excellent and recommended the dishes we chose and he was spot on too! When we first arrived, my husband was looking at the beers on tap and the barman came straight up to him and gave him a taste of the two he was considering - without having to ask - this is what good service is all about. And most importantly, Tommy Shelby our whippet was welcomed too. You’ve nailed it guys - we will certainly be back - thank you x”

  “This pub definitely deserves a higher rate! We were offered a lovely table on a busy Sunday, despite not having a reservation. The food was fresh and well seasoned, most if not all things we tried seemed made in house which is always a great sign! My partner, who is a chef, gave his dish a 9/10 - not an easy task! Lastly, our server Dailiy was super friendly and attentive. Probably our new favourite local pub!”

  “I didn't know it at the time but our family meal on Easter Sunday turned out to be our last meal out with Dad before he passed away. I can't think of a more fitting place for it, considering we'd previously visited as kids. We didn't tell the staff about Dad's illness but it's almost as if they knew. They gave him the send off he deserved and the Prince of Wales will always hold a special place in my heart now.”

  “What a beautiful pub! Our waitress Lou was warm and welcoming. So attentive and smiley. Amazing location, with stunning pond walks near by . Super family friendly, but also big enough for intimate dinning if that’s your preference. New menu was not a disappointment Went with a small group of friends. Wine list was good , we had a nice rose. we had the crab pasta dish , sticky lamb shoulder, and chicken schnitzel. All so incredible. For desert the sticky carrot cake was off the chart so tasty.”

  “We visited The Prince of Wales in Esher as a family of four with two young children and had a really lovely experience. The service was excellent, the hospitality was warm throughout, and the food was great. The food was served piping hot and arrived very quickly, which made the meal even better. We would especially recommend the homemade chicken pie. It is a great choice for families and we would be very happy to return.”

  “First time visiting this pub today for some Sunday picky bits. Such a beautiful pub and amazing food. The service was amazing, in particular our server Lou was so attentive and friendly.

  “This was our first visit back in a while since the refurbishment, and wow, it really has changed!! Firstly, the decor and overall experience arriving was incredible. They've really overhauled everything in a positive way which gives this place a totally different feeling, 10 / 10. The food and service... now this was the best bit! Service, our waiter was super attentive and was quick to check everything was OK and always ensuring we had all we needed. But the food, it was beautiful! Super tasty, fresh and proportioned perfectly. This new menu is really spot on. We shall be back soon!!”
