Prince

The pub together with the adjacent shop frontage reopened November 2017 as a pop-up whilst the vast redevelopment takes place to its north. The restoration includes low-hanging brass lights, marble table tops and oak flooring, and a covered and heated 'woodland' garden (with plastic ivy and more). Blankets are provided for those chilly evenings. The Garden area to the rear of the pub has been landscaped to provide a seating area for 450 people. With the total capacity of the complex at 800 this is more of a reasonably fast and varied licensed food court than anything else. The pub and each of the 4 rotating restaurant units connect to the garden via walkways. You buy your food in the restaurants, and then drink in the pub or in the garden area, on two levels, that has a big bar. There's a wide range of drinks including keg draught beer and lager. Bookings are encouraged (for groups of 4 to 199); there are some tables for smaller 'walk-in' parties. The site is listed as an ACV by H & F Council, expiring 2 March 2021.
