Prince of Wales

Head down to Cowley and you'll find the Prince of Wales doing what it does best: serving up a proper neighbourhood pub experience without any pretension. It's the kind of place where regulars prop up the bar, the telly's usually on for the match, and nobody's trying too hard to be cool about it. The kind of pub you'd actually want to return to—not because it's Instagram-worthy, but because it feels like home. Expect decent ales, unpretentious food, and a clientele that's genuinely welcoming to newcomers.
