Set in a prominent position just a short way above the centre of the village, this large pub focuses on food. It has a bar with a wood burning stove, a new conservatory (which can be booked for functions) and a restaurant, with tables outside as well. Coffee is served from 10am all week. The only difference between the lunch and evening menus is that sandwiches are only available at lunchtime. The house beer, The William Bray, is brewed by Brakspear. Dogs are allowed everywhere other than the restaurant and there is a water bowl outside. As the Prince of Wales the pub used to be owned by the Reffell Brothers brewery of Gomshall which was bought by Young's of Wandsworth in 1926. It remained a Young's pub until they sold it in the 1990s and it became the William Bray in 2009, when it was bought by Julian Bailey, who drove in seven Formula One races. It is now a Brakspear pub. Last orders are 30 minutes before closing.
