the Prince of Wales
Kapunda's Heartbeat
Since 1858

Your family-friendly Kapunda local with history, heart, and a cold one waiting.

History on tap,
and Plenty of Character too

The Prince of Wales Hotel is so much more than just a pub, it’s part of the furniture in Kapunda. 

Standing proud since 1858, the Prince has poured pints, hosted yarns, and welcomed generations through its doors. It’s where footy teams come after a win (or a loss), where families bring the kids for an easy Friday feed, and where passing travellers find something they didn’t know they were looking for, genuine local connection.

Sure, we’ve got the charm of a historic pub. But what really sets us apart? No pokies. No ego. Just friendly faces, honest hospitality, and a team that treats you like a regular, even if it’s your first visit.

What makes The Prince Different?

We’re a proper community pub, built on great service and even better company. You won’t find fancy city stuff here, just a cold beer, small town charm, and a space that feels like home.

We’re proudly family-friendly, kids are welcome and there’s space to spread out. And on Fridays,  our visiting food vans make for the easiest end-of-week dinner you’ll ever have. It’s relaxed, it’s real, and it’s always a good time.

The Prince is Your Local.
Even if you're not from here.

Locals love us because we’ve been part of their story for generations. Tourists love us because we feel like the real thing. No pretense. No performance. Just a laidback, welcoming place where you can grab a cold one and hear what’s happening around the place.

Whether you’re in town for the weekend or you’ve lived here all your life, the Prince of Wales Hotel is your pub. Pop in for a trivia night, a bingo round, or just a quiet drink at the bar, we’ll have a spot ready for you.

Great place for a drink with mates. Always get a super cold beer, and the staff are friendly. Friday night food vans are cool too. Especially the wood fire pizza nights.

The service was so good, we were really impressed. We popped up to see the twighlight market and grab a delicious Cult Burger 🍔 they are amazing. After all the years of just driving past, we wouldn't hesitate to pop in next time we are up this way. Every staff member was just so friendly and made sure we were okay and checked if we needed anything. It's such a nice change - well done! ✅️
