user reviews of the Prince, Shepherds Bush

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

In its new incarnation, this place is now the Raving Buddha , or something equally stupid.
Quite possibly the worst pub/bar/club (or whatever it purports to be) I have ever visited.

Absolutely soulless. Beer not great either. The usual Stella/Fosters combination.

And why the umbrellas on the ceiling? I think I must have missed the point.

Very popular QPR pub. In July 2004 was renamed The Prince, from The British Prince, but it's original name was the Orange Kipper.
Across the left hand side of the pub, an American artist has painted an enormous QPR mural featuring past greats including Phil Parkes, Les Ferdinand and strangely Andy Thomson?
A couple of years ago Paddy Power bookmakers conveniently opened up next door.
Gianni Paladini infamously (well to QPR fans) announced Gary Waddock as manager in the Prince

Well this place has certainly cleaned up its act since the new manageress and her girls took over. Clean, friendly and well run, with a variety of entertainment makes it a pleasure to go to. Also with the new lively resident DJ Alan on Saturday nights, The Prince is the best place in the Bush to 'rock until you drop'.Long may it last!!!!

Spot on werqpr,not a fan of white powders myself and remember Daniella Westbrook's collapsed personality and hooter but live and let live.This gaff is cheap and unpretentious although with a dark,atmospheric gangstery underside.If he was writing today,Graham Greene might well have installed Pinky and his mob as denizens of this boozer.Fans of Nigella Lawson and Toby Young ,i.e. monied Notting Hill refugees who have a great fear of the humble unwashed shirking and working Bush Born-and-Bred proleteriat might well want to stay away,right away.Never mind The Stokies trying to smash the place up.."WHATEVER THE SEASON,WE'LL FOLLOW OUR TEAM,WE'RE QUEENS PARK RANGERS WE RULE SUPREME..."

Top class pub for Football. "D" the manager is great and there are some fit birds behind the counter serving. Would mind jumping a few of em.
Good deal on becks - bucket of 5 bottles for a �10. Other beers r good.
If you fancy a line of charlie after the game, this is the place to come. No need to use the cubible, a plastic board with heaps of the stuff is passed around the toilet area freely

What a dive. There is just nothing good to say about this place. The staff are ignorant, its filthy and the beer is crap. Word of advise. Keep well away.

Good for a quick pint but the staff are without a doubt awful beyond belief

recently went to this pub again to see if it had changed for the better . . . guess what! not in your life . . .a couple of slappers trying to hit on these dark old guys, they were mutton dress up as lambs . . . . not!
Same again crap service and really bad attitude, like it was a chore to serve you , and the pub stank of stale urine and bird crasp on the walss and windows . . not good at all . will never set place in this pub again . . warning to all!

This is a bad pub. The management were the rudest people I've dealt with. The pub its self is grotty with bird shit coming down from the ceiling. No way!

sadly rebranded as a naff QPR pub, from one of the friendliest and most efficient in the whole of London.....and I'm a QPR fan! RIP Orange Kipper.

Terrific irish run traditional local. One can only pray it never gets wrecked in the way The Bushranger's been.

A real pub..........well has character anyway! Has some funny regulars that drink there.......and some good banter at the bar! Not a place to take somebody to impress but value for money at least and decent beer!

Essentially a working mans pub, well used by local bus depot.
Used to be called The British Prince, does anyone know why it changed it's name?
apparently there's a meat raffle traditionally on Fridays - but I've never seen it.
