About Us
Richard took over the King of Prussia in July 2006, his cooking is good value Welsh cuisine,
with a cosmopolitan twist, using many local ingredients. All meals are freshly cooked to order and food is sourced from local suppliers as much as possible, with an emphasis on freshness. The restaurant is informal and you can eat from the same menu in the lounge area. The specials board
changes daily and reflects the changing seasons. Fresh fish also arrives daily from Plymouth
harbour. The desserts are very tempting though perhaps not to good for the waistline! The
Welsh cheese slate offers local among other cheeses. All food is complimented by a full wine list
and a selections of beers, lagers, spirits and cold drinks.
Richard trained for two years at Pontypool college and has held various positions at The Celtic Manor, The Bear Hotel & The Saracens Head before taking over The King of Prussia. Richard was born into the restaurant trade with his parents owning The Horse & Jockey Inn and The hardwick for 26 years. Richard welcomes any suggestions to improve on your meal or service by using the feedback form which can be found here.
Brief History
The area known as Prussia was inhabited in early times by West Slavic tribes, ancesors of the
modern Poles, in the west and Baltic tribes, closely related to Lithuanians in the East. Sometime
after the 7th Century the area was invaded and settled by pagan German tribes later known as
Prussians. In 1657 after an invasion by the Swedes, Poland surrendered sovereignty over Ducal Prussia and became the Kingdom of Prussia. Prussias power grew and in 1772 under King Friedrich
II governed vast areas of Northern Europe.
A major event in German history was the defeat of France in the Franco Prussian war in 1871 when Otto Von Bismark became Chancellor and Willhelm II became Emperor of Germany (Kaiser) and ruled until Germany's defeat in World War 1. Frederick William IV was the King of Prussia
(1840-61). In 1857 his mental condition necessitated a temporary (later permanent) regency of
his brother who succeeded him as William I.
It is believed that one of these two kings stayed at this Inn around this period and hence the name became The King of Prussia. It is not known what the Inn was previously called. The King has
seen many changes in its history, we only hope that you enjoy your visit in this modern day.
