The Prince

Rachel F. ( )

The Prince is our local and we go there regularly. It's off Church St so you need to know about it to find it but it rivals lots of the restaurants on Church St and is worth the 5 minute walk south. It's family friendly, has a great atmosphere – a stylish gastro pub with old wooden tables, light and airy in summer but also cozy in winter. There are 2 TVs but they are small and not intrusive and useful when there are big sporting events to follow! You can eat in the main bar or in a separate area away from the bar and there are 2 outside spaces. The burgers are delicious and come in a number of sizes. There is always a good selection of starters like whitebait, pate with toast, interesting salads and for mains the theme is good wholesome food in pretty decent portions. Risotto is always done well, there are special pastas, always a chicken dish, usually something like a lamb shank and a steak and the chips are delicious. The wine list is large and good value. You can rent out the separate eating area for parties and there is a larger space above the pub. we love The Prince and keep going back.
