picture of Prince of WalesBig pub, stripped floor, wooden furniture: pretty standard stuff really. This is one of the old T&J Bernard pubs which didn't quite relaunch itself in the olde worlde style of others in the chain and consequently it's not the cosiest place you'll ever encounter. The food menu is familiar to anyone whose eaten in these pubs (basic, mid priced pub grub, but hit and miss on quality) but there's a decent selection of ales on and some vestiges of older, more characterful decor. Popular with the afterwork crew, along with those off to Theatreland, the crowds can ebb and flow here; if it's OK it's OK, but if it's not, move on - there's no shortage of pubs in the area.
