This is a lovely looking pub but our visit was slightly spoilt by average beer and the cacophonous combination of a live football match on TV and a pub quiz trying to transpire in tandem. The venue and the beer choice means I’d definitely like to give it another shot. Room at the back for a sit down meal. I guess the room can be hired out.

Near Fulwell Station, opposite Loch Fine, you’ll find The Prince of Wales. You’ll see the bar in front of you immediately upon walking in, where you can buy a decent selection of real ales(including Twickenham Ales — Winter Cheer just at the minute in January), lagers and wines. To your right, you’ll see a telly and a brightly lit room — the telly is probably showing sport — both rugby and football. You’ll also see framed a signed rugby shirt. To your left you’ll see a darker room with a couple of leather sofas, a real fireplace(one of my favourite hobbies is poking and feeding the fire) fuelled with wood and coal, and further in a dark room leading into a brighter restaurant. The staff are very friendly(though a few are a bit slow), and the restaurant serves excellent and reasonably priced(though not super cheap) French(ish) food — not your typical pub fair. You can also eat the restaurant food at the pub tables if you prefer. Wednesdays is an acoustic night, where the restaurant closes and a bunch of people with guitars entertain themselves, and Thursday is quiz night, hosted by punters(I’ve taken part in and won the quiz on more than one occasion. This is a decent pub with a mixed clientèle serving good beers kept well(the owners of Twickenham brewery often drink in here).
