The Prince Of Wales Inn — Restaurant in Stroud

Beer garden was just, alright. The inside seemed quite dull and tired. The waiter at the time was catering to a party of 10 wedding party. He seemed either really new or really demotivated/confused. We'd pre-ordered a whole menu but they seemed to have forgotten that and handed us All menus to then take the menus back in apology. Most of the wording from the waiter were riddled with "I think", "I'm not sure", "I believe so". Didn't seem to fully know what was going on which is a shame as he may have just been new.

Either way having 1 person wait a table of 10 was pretty cumbersome seemingly. The food came out similar timing wise but it seemed to achieve this most it hadn't been cooked. The general consensus was that the beef was just rock hard and over cooked, the stuffing wasn't cooked at all and the plates were cold anyway. Seemingly in an attempt to coordinate it. The bacon on the bacon burger was very undercooked. Barely out of the fridge. The burger itself was very underdone which is obviously a preference thing I suppose. The chips and sausages were fine so they got the basics down.

There seemed to be no actual empathy shown. The waiter would just walk off and mutter "sorry about that" over his shoulder in a very non chalant uncaring way. We figured being that it was quite dead we'd have the utmost best cooking and attention given but it wasn't the case. Seemed we got the flipside of it was very quiet so we almost had inconvenienced them with our big party.

The bill was around 150 but we had so many dishes unfinished and a couple barely touched that they knocked 50 quid off the bill. Which is something I suppose. Only because one of our more brash and vocal party members somewhat demanded it.

Overall a massive shame and cannot recommend this place to anyone for dining in, especially in a big party. They seem like a local that know how to pull a pint and do your bog standard bangers and mash but...

Not really an experience, more of a disappointment! Went out for drinks on new years eve, walked into the bar to see a sloth sat on a barstool with his feet up on another stool. The slob never muttered a word....hello/happy new year, any form of greeting would have made us feel welcome. Fresh cat sick on the floor which he couldn't be bothered to clean up. We were first through the door......the tables hadn't even been wiped down. then we went outside for a smoke, there was rubbish everywhere. All seven of us felt and said exactly the same.....could be a really nice pub if the publicans...

Heard there was new owners and what not so decided to give it a go. Website claims they do roasts and a full menu on a Sunday but they actually do roasts and a restricted Sunday menu. My lasagne was obviously a ready meal that had been decanted into a dish and some cheese added. My partners fish and chips looked of a better standard though. We didn’t bother with desserts. Prices not too bad but won’t be...
