Property details
The Prince of Wales is a traditional, wet-led community pub on West Street, Havant. The pub is just a five-minute walk from the town centre, the Meridian Shopping Complex, and Havant railway station. Surrounded by residential properties, it is very much a locals’ pub with a strong customer base from the immediate area. Havant itself benefits from excellent transport links, with regular rail services to London, Portsmouth, Brighton and Southampton, as well as a well-served bus station connecting nearby towns and coastal destinations.
The trading area is an inviting open-plan layout, centred around a prominent bar servery that forms the heart of the space. A well-balanced mix of fixed bench seating, low-level tables and chairs, and high stools lining the bar creates a warm and traditional pub atmosphere. The blend of wooden and tiled flooring adds character and charm, complementing the overall classic feel. To the rear of the trading area lies a fully equipped catering kitchen. Behind the bar, a passageway leads to well-maintained ladies and gents toilets and provides direct access to the pub’s standout feature, an exceptional beer garden. Recently refurbished, this outdoor space is fully enclosed and heated, complete with a large external TV screen, making it a year-round favourite for guests to enjoy live sports and social gatherings. While the property does not benefit from its own dedicated car park, convenient on-street parking is available nearby.
