Prince of Wales Inn, Lincoln

A tidy corner terraced pub and eatery with a patio area. The frontage looks Victorian, has two storeys and the cottage style front extends further at the back. The pub is mainly in undressed brick, with a nice moulded cornice. The two upper sash windows have green sills and lintels. The lower frontage has white quoins and green signage. The interior is an L-shaped open plan room, now the rooms have been knocked into one. The serving bar is to the left on entry. The interior is modern, dark gree, grey patterned wallpaper, chocolate, wood panel, exposed stone for example, with a white ceiling and cornice and a mix of stone flag and carpet flooring. The walls had general prints and old photos on. It has tables and a definite food feel overall. We didnt eat here so can't comment on the food - the menu seemed reasonably priced to me though. I didn't see a TV and the background music was general stuff at an OK level. The service was fine, despite the lad not being able to make a cup of tea from the whizzy machine they had. The clientele were mixed and it was quite busy - most seemed to be eating. Beer; usual taps with Abbott Ale, Black Sheep and a rather poor Everard's Tiger on handpull. I agree with much of what has been said by ROB and RAR. Trendy type of wine bar approach, if you like it, but a boring choice of real ales and the quality wasn't there either for me. I don't usuall comment on other reviews, but Gordon Reeves was the current owner at the time, so yes, he would say that! Not really one i would go back to.
