Former pub to reopen as Prince of Wales in Norwich
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 24 Oct, 08:32 · Archive
The Prince of Wales pub in Norwich, closed for eight years, is applying to reopen under its original name.
Caribbojo Limited has applied for a premises licence to reopen the former Prince of Wales pub in Norwich, which closed eight years ago and was most recently known as Barcadia. The application, submitted to Norwich City Council on 20 October, proposes to relaunch the venue under its original name.
Under new ownership, the venue hopes to serve customers 'Caribbean restaurant food, traditional pub food, and hot beverages'. If approved, the licence would also permit the sale of alcohol, late-night refreshments, and regulated entertainment including live music.
Barcadia, which was launched by YouTuber Peter Leigh of Nostalgia Nerd, has been closed since early 2025. The Prince of Wales has occupied its location on Prince of Wales Road for more than 150 years, first as a hotel, then as a popular city-centre pub, and more recently as a retro arcade bar. Locals have until 17 November to submit comments or objections to the council.
