Prince of Wales

Civilised with contemporary décor and up-to-date food; bedrooms Once inside this traditional-looking red brick town house, the stylish and comfortable interior comes as a pleasant surprise. Set on two levels, it's more of an open-plan bar-brasserie than a straightforward pub, with good lighting and modern prints on mainly cream walls (dark green and maroon accents at either end). The slightly sunken flagstoned area with a log fire in the exposed brick fireplace leads to a partly ply-panelled dining room with dark leather dining chairs set around a mixed batch of sturdy tables, and there are plenty of church candles and big leather deco-style armchairs and sofas at low tables on wood-strip flooring; background music. Wells & Youngs Bombardier and Eagle on handpump, plenty of wines by the glass and good coffee. The nicely planted two-level lawn has picnic-sets, with more on a terrace by the car park
