Our clients have owned and operated The Prince of Wales for the past 25 years. It operates as a traditional wet only public house serving the needs of the local community. The business enjoys a loyal, local following who use the premises on a daily basis. The business is operated as a lifestyle business by the current owners, without the need for additional staff.

The Prince of Wales prides itself on its lack of fruit machines and jukeboxes, focusing on a true pub experience centred around good beer and talking.

The pub does benefit from both a pool and dart team.

Monday to Wednesday: 14:00-20:00

Sunday: 12:00-17:00
