A friendly Margate local
Welcome to our friendly and relaxed pub in Margate, where you will find a proper pint and the warmest of welcomes. The name might be royal, but cross the threshold at the Princess of Wales and you’ll find an unassuming, wonderfully relaxed pub where everyone is made to feel at home.
Traditional charm
We have great ales on tap, classic pub games and community events to enjoy. Our kitchen serves food 7 days a week.
There’s live sport on TV, and for those who prefer to play rather than watch, the pub also supports ladies and men’s darts teams. There are cards and quiz nights too, and occasional evenings of great live music.
Located in Tivoli Road, Margate, the Princess of Wales is a home-from-home for many locals, with a lovely beer garden the perfect place to gather on lazy summer days.
Our history
This down-to-earth community pub is named after Princess Alexandra of Denmark.
Princess Alexandra became Princess of Wales in 1863 when she married Prince Edward, later to become King Edward VII.
The local connection was made when the Royal Yacht Victoria and Albert moored off Margate – an event that caused great excitement in the town.
When the pub was built a short time later, it was decided to name it after the Princess.
