    What a roast! Was blooming fabulous. This place is great, the atmosphere is very welcoming, it's welcoming to not only children, but also the children with paws. Another great meal and a lovely afternoon. And a big thank you to the crew working - Leo / Dan / Nathan & Katie, you guys certainly know how to make your customers happy.

    🚇 Blackheath 🍺 £7.40 Asahi The Princess of Wales is perched on the edge of Blackheath in Southeast London. The nearest station is Blackheath mainline. This pub dates from 1826, the current building was built in 1865. It is named after Caroline of Brunswick, Princess of Wales from 1795 to 1820. The pub has a long associated with Blackheath Rugby Club, the oldest rugby club in the world. The club was founded in 1858 with the players meeting and getting changed at the Princess of Wales. The pub once served as the changing room for England's first international with Wales. This is a good sized one bar pub that has an upmarket contemporary feel. The bar area is set out in a reversed “L” shape with the servery stretching down the main section of the bar. At the back of the main bar is a conservatory which leads to a large beer garden. There are some lovely features to this pub like the huge windows, tiled floor, Victorian fireplaces and corinthian columns. The stand out feature is the stunning original Victorian bar back. The bar back dates from 1865 and is one of the oldest surviving bar backs in the country. A refurbishment in 2022 involved the removal of the servery in front, so now you get a closer look. The beer line up was a who’s who of well know beers, ciders and stout and included five cask ales. I decided on an Asahi, my pint was excellent, price point for this lager as always was high. The food menu is Gastro pub grub, Fish & Chips costs £19.50, Roasts are available on a Sunday. I arrived mid afternoon on an overcast Saturday afternoon in June. The pub was very busy with a buzzing, upbeat and convivial atmosphere. The punters were a mix of all ages and all walks of life. The service was welcoming and friendly, the team were rushed off their feet and were coping admirably. @theprincess.blackheath was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. This is a very comfortable and welcoming pub to spend time in. There is a good selection of beers, plenty of food on offer and not forgetting that beautiful bar back. This pub gets a thumbs up from me. 📅 1st June 2024 More London Pub info @londonpubmap 🍻

    This is a very popular local pub with an outside patio/garden with heated tables. This place overlooks the Blackheath and has a very authentic pub vibe. Food is very high standards and it gets very busy on weeknds. Vast selection of drinks, including European beers. Great place to visit for good or drinks.
