About The Prince of Wales, A Heartwood Inn
The Prince of Wales is a gastro pub and restaurant in the heart of East Barnet Village, on Church Hill Road (EN4 8TB). The building has stood on the site since 1876 and is described as the last remaining pub in the village. After a long closure it was refurbished and extended, reopening on 13 May 2025 under Heartwood Inns (Heartwood Collection), the group that runs it as one of its country-style inns.
Inside, the pub combines a spacious bar with a smartly designed dining room, and the setting extends to a rear garden and a front terrace for al fresco dining in warmer months. The kitchen serves seasonal a la carte menus, with Sunday roasts offered with bottomless trimmings, curated wines, a kids' menu and even a dog menu. The pub holds a three-star Food Made Good rating from the Sustainable Restaurant Association, reflecting a focus on quality and sustainable sourcing.
On the bar, the Prince of Wales keeps up to four cask ales, with regulars including Fuller's London Pride and Timothy Taylor Landlord alongside rotating guest beers, and it is Cask Marque certified. It is a genuinely dog-friendly place that welcomes four-legged guests, and it runs community dog walks on the second Saturday of each month. Live music features on Friday evenings.
The pub positions itself as a hub for the local community, welcoming families and offering level access from the car park along with an accessible restroom. It sits close to Oakleigh Park station and is served by local bus routes, with customer parking available on arrival.
