The Prince Post

The festive season is nearly upon us once more...

Christmas at The Prince of Wales

Christmas is a magical time of year

for many of us. The fine wines, the spectacular food and the presents. But not all of our celebrations are with the family on Christmas Day, many of us will be getting our festive spirit on and booking parties for friends, work colleagues and maybe even long lost relatives! That’s where we at Wetherspoon come in. For just £8.75 you can have a fantastic Christmas Roast Turkey dinner with all the trimmings (including the classic favourite - Pigs in Blankets) served with a great range of drinks. Don’t worry though, if Roast Turkey isn’t your thing, we have available our fantastic Lentil, Mushroom, Mozzarella and Pumpkin Seed Roast (vegetarian friendly of course) served with all the trimmings, and a veggie gravy. We’re also doing our fabulous Salmon fillet as well served with vegetables, hollandaise sauce and a few roasties as well.

Christmas dinner is never about 1 course though. Even if it’s not the meal on the big day. We’ve got some fantastic starters to excite your tastebuds this year. The newest addition to the menu is the Carrot and Corriander soup, which is launching on our main menu in October too so you can get a taste of it beforehand. We've got our fantastic Christmas favourites too, with the Organic Tomato and Basil soup which always goes down well, and to go really special is to go for the Chicken Liver and Ayrshire Bacon Paté, served alongside a red onion marmalade with toasted malted grain bloomer bread.

The other delight of Christmas Dinner is the desserts too! The Traditional Christmas Pudding is back

with a fantastic Brandy Sauce, but we

know it’s not always a favourite amongst some, so we’ve got a Chocolate Mint Cheesecake. Just thinking about it sounds amazing doesn’t it?

To add a dessert or a starter costs £2 extra each on top of the £8.75 menu price, meaning you could have a 3 course meal for under £14!

We’ve got Christmas covered this year, and we’re taking bookings now! We’re serving dinners from November 12 right the way through to December 23. Book before November 12 and we’ll get a glass of bubbly ready for you and your party on arrival to make it extra special.

To book or for any questions, please call (029) 2064 4449, visit www.jdwetherspoon.co.uk/home/christmas/the-prince-of-wales or pick up a leaflet in the pub for more info!

Merry Christmas from all of us!

Take a Fresh Look at... Traditional Real Ale

CAMRA, the Campaign for Real

Ale, recently announced that there are now 1,000 breweries in the UK, with Real Ale making a big comeback in Europe as well. Wetherspoon has been proudly supporting as many micro-breweries as we can and the list of breweries we order from is forever growing. Our main beers we always stock are Greene King's Ruddles Best and Abbot Ale, but we also stock the Ale of Wales, Brains SA, brewed only a 1/4 mile away! We also support many local breweries as well, including Celt, Rhymney, Bullmastiff and Vale of Glamorgan, amongst others. If there are ales that you would like to see us get on the pubs then speak to a manager today and we will do what we can to get it in. Did you know as well that all of our ales are Cask Marque accredited?

Autumn Real Ale Festival 2012 Starting October 24 through to

November 11 we see the return of the World's Biggest Real Ale Festival. It's been a pretty big feature of our calendar for years now and it's a way for us to celebrate our great links with brewers, not just in the UK but also from across the world. This festival is no different, with guest brewers from Australia, Canada, Italy, Japan, Lithuania, Netherlands and the USA, as well as some classic some brews from across the UK as well. Look out for more information nearer the time or check out www.jdwrealale.co.uk for updates too.

Student offers open to all... Student Express

September can only mean one thing

for us, and in some ways, other pubs and clubs too: the Freshers! We love them here at the Prince of Wales. Many of you may have seen the voucher booklets they have been carrying around with them with little coupons to rip off and save a few

pennies their family will have given them

before they left home. Don't we all remember it? But don't be too jealous of them, as here at the Prince we have some cracking offers available all day every day that you don't have to be a student to enjoy the great value.

Carlsberg, Strongbow and John Smiths covers most bases to start off with, at only £1.99 a pint and served between 1-3*c you cant go wrong. But there's also our great bottled range too, with 2 for £5 on Desperados, Budweiser, Corona, Peroni, Smirnoff Ice and WKD Blue, and if you ladies fancy a nice bottle of wine, our great tasting Hardy's Chardonnay, Rose and Merlot are £6.99 a bottle.

Great value, all day, every day. Check out our drinks menu for more offers and details.

10 years, £6 million raised.... CLIC Sargent

If any of you have read up our

Wetherspoon News for Autumn 2012, you'll have read about our partnership with CLIC Sargent, a charity for Children with Cancer. We've been strong supporters of this charity for the last 10 years and at the start of September, Tim Martin, founder and Chairman of J D Wetherspoon, had the pleasure of traveling to the charity's head office and handing them a cheque for £6 million, which has been raised by all of the pubs over the last 10 years we've had the partnership. The Prince of Wales has alone raised nearly £10,200 which we're very proud to say we've been a part of.

How can you help these children though? Well we have our charity boxes on the bars to chuck your odd pennies into, especially the 1p you get from your pint of Carlsberg or Strongbow, and even if only a few of you can spare that much, it's better than nothing! Please help us support this fantastic charity and also watch out for our CLIC events where we hope to raise even more! Thank you!
