The pub has two main trading areas separated by a small corridor, and a feature open fire splits the traditional regular’s bar and the lounge area which is used for entertainment. The décor has a warm traditional feel there is a mixture of bench and freestanding seating. The bar areas can cater for approx. 30 covers and is serviced by a suitably sized trade kitchen located at the rear of the pub.

The Price of Wales is a traditional pub that is at the heart of the local community. Currently the site is predominantly drinks focused, but the vision for the site would be to look at the food offering to grow this area of the trade. Currently weekly quizzes are very popular and regular music acts help to draw customers to the pub. Local sports teams would be another area to attract customers to the site and fit in with the local community. A strong rhythm of the week would be needed that was well communicated to grow the regular customer base.
