This charming, family-friendly hostelry is the perfect retreat after a walk along the nearby Thames Path or a visit to the historic Iffley Lock. Inside, you'll discover a welcoming atmosphere, complete with a warming fireplace in cooler months and a selection of Casque Marque-awarded Wadworth real ales.

The menu at The Prince of Wales features delicious modern pub food, with chef patron Mathew Dodds bringing his extensive culinary experience to enhance traditional fare. You can expect pub classics like fish and chips, bangers and mash, and homemade pies, alongside more contemporary gastro pub dishes. Their Sunday roasts are particularly popular, so booking is often recommended. For those with a sweet tooth, homemade desserts, including a sticky toffee pudding, come highly praised.

Lovely atmosphere and incredibly dog-friendly. Service was quite slow, so don't go there when you are in a rush, but the staff were so friendly, and the sticky toffee pudding was absolutely the best I've ever tasted. They have their own space in front of the pub to park but it fills up quickly"

Walked down for a lovely dinner with my partner and our puppy. Had a beautiful meal, with a great selection of beers. We ordered ox cheek and a pork chop. The food was fantastic and inexpensive, and the renovations look great.

This pub has underground a huge renovation in recent years, functions under new management and provides a beautiful setting for a traditional oxford pub located in Iffley village.

The menu, food quality and choice deserves a chefs kiss!

We particularly enjoyed the Sunday roast with all the trimmings, which was evidently cooked with fresh ingredients, care and love.

There is adequate on site parking, a beautiful courtyard area to the rear of the property that's joined by the additional outdoor sheltered area leading to front garden.

We were treated to service by Sage and Maggie who were so friendly and welcoming. Nothing was too much bother and they aimed to please with an outstanding level of professionalism!

We look forward to visiting again soon 😀

Christmas lunch visit. There weren’t enough staff on to manage for the Christmas lunch period. One behind the bar and the other servicing meals. It was a very lengthy wait for food to be served. The server was unable to be as attentive as she otherwise might have been. We weren’t offered more drinks, didn’t receive the jug of water we ordered and weren’t asked how we were enjoying our food. Not her fault. The food was delicious and nicely presented. At least one additional staff member would have made the whole experience so much better.

Food was really delicious and interesting, the only thing that would be good to see would be some more lunch suitable options rather than a big meal. But what we had was great. Pub is a bit quiet at lunch so atmosphere a bit strange, but hoping this review will encourage some more patrons!
