Location
Pros:
"Of course great location-so close to the palace."
"Posh pub with lots of space with a big dining area with pleasant décor, outdoor seating area reflecting its location close to Hampton Court."
"Great pub in a great location!"
"Very nice pub in Hampton Court Village with plenty of seating inside and out."
Cons:
"Then they forgot the kids order. In the end I got a £85 fine at the car park they own."
"There is free parking available, but don't forget to register your plate once you enter the pub to avoid a fine."
"Plenty of parking around the back, don't forget to register you car when entering the pub. This gave us 4 hrs, so we took the dogs for a walk up the High Street and along the river after lunch."
Staff & Service
Pros:
"All staff friendly and helpful."
"Staff very friendly from the time we walked in to Prince of Wales to the time we left."
"Service is excellent. Attentive bar staff."
"The people who served me in the Prince of Wales pub were very polite."
"Friendly and quick service."
"Friendly, professional & helpful bar & waiting staff."
"Customer service was attentive and very good."
Cons:
"Very disappointed. Booked a table for 9pm for dinner, which is when the kitchen closes.. The ignorant staff could have pointed this out. Very average pub in any case."
"Your staff did not handle the situation in a professional manner and Derek was not interested in accommodating us."
"Service was friendly but seemed slightly confused currently."
"Shocking service - I was ignored by two bar men, eventually after about 10 minutes I asked the gentleman doing a stock take if I could please have a glass of wine."
"Upon entering we were ignored by three staff serving nearby tables for several minutes."
"Unfortunately the waiter (looked like some kind of Manager) was wearing incredibly noisy trainers and had dreadful body odour."
"The staff serving us were caught on several occasions laughing and pointing at our table to their co workers."
Food Quality
Pros:
"The food was cooked to perfection."
"Nice food and pub is lovely."
"Food was lovely and all reasonably priced."
"The food is always excellent. It’s delicious, piping hot and lots of it."
"The food was absolutely delicious!"
"Food was very good as was the service."
"The fish and chips were top notch."
Cons:
"Everything was absolutely fantastic apart from the roast potatoes that tasted like cooked from the day before and reheated in the microwave."
"The smell of rubbish wafting through the air... It wasn't until our food arrived that we were inundated with flys almost swarming our food."
"The meat wasn't the best—I'd say it was a little chewy—but it was still good overall."
"We ordered some chips and received ketchup and mayonnaise dips. Unfortunately, the dip bowls were dusty and the mayonnaise tasted strange."
"We had the lamb in pitta bread as recommended by the waitress. It wasn’t worth the money - chewy and not good at all."
"Came to order a roast, were immediately put off by the amount of dogs all over the pub."
"Food sadly was not the best. The beef was very chewy! The chicken was undercooked."
Atmosphere & Decor
Pros:
"Amazing place, very cosy atmosphere and all staff very attentive and helpful."
"Good honest pub with welcoming staff and great atmosphere."
"The highlight has definitely got to be the staff - they are so accommodating and it’s always nice to see friendly faces."
"Generous portions in well presented surroundings."
"A charming well-run pub with friendly and helpful staff, thoughtful wall decorations and a glass ceiling in the middle which lets in sunlight."
"Friendly staff and a nice relaxed atmosphere."
"Lovely relaxed place."
Cons:
"A shame I can’t give it zero stars. What an appalling place to be."
"Although pleasant as it was lovely and sunny it was a bit scruffy, cardboard boxes flattened out on the vacant bar area, a random bike."
"It feels like very much of a local pub."
"You get a couple of stares if you aren't from around there."
"Downside is, it was so very loud inside."
"And acoustics are poor."
"If you're looking for a place to eat and drink in the sun, this isn't it... Came for a family meal, sat outside in the back seating area on a broken table barely holding itself together."
Value for Money
Pros:
"That said the garden bbq in the summer is much more reasonable."
"Food was lovely and all reasonably priced."
"We had a roast, huge portion, really tasty and completely full after, good price."
"Great value."
"Really good food (for a little more upmarket) but fair price."
"Highly recommended the beer garden at the back on a sunny day !!"
"Best fish and chips I've had away from the sea-side."
Cons:
"Everything you see in the menu multiply by 1.125. Yes!!! There is a service fee on top!"
"Lovely meal this afternoon with family, but £11.90 for one large glass of malbec is far too much especially when you can buy the same wine for £9.00 in Sainsbury's per bottle."
"Cant fault the food or the atmosphere, can fault the price. Just on the edge of too expensive, almost a Tenner for three drinks, including non alcoholic, and £15 a meal, takes the edge off what could be a lovely experience."
"Heads up it's £8 for 250ml glass of white wine. £9.20 for pinto. £5 a pint."
"There is 12.5% service charge added which I didn't mind as eating but wouldn't want to pay if just having drinks."
"I paid £15 plus a service charge for quite possibly the worst burger I have ever had."
