What Beverley B doesn't like about King William Iv:
I was excited to visit the pub after its renovation, so we made a reservation for lunch on the 17th. I ordered the Sunday lunch, which was quite lacking in seasonal vegetables - only a small sprig of kale and a few roasted carrots and potatoes. When I asked a member of staff about this, they said that's how it's served. I also wasn't offered any sauces with my meal. The staff didn't seem very distinguishable from the... View all feedback.

As my mother lived nearby, we were regular visitors to this hidden little pub. I recall playing pool there 20 years ago and eating there on many previous occasions. Since then there has been plenty of work carried out and the pub has changed significantly. We last ate there about 6 years ago and it was a very average food experience. We revisited recently and enjoyed drinks, the place was fairly busy with plenty of d... View all feedback.

The King William Pub, with its recent renovations, draws both nostalgia and criticism. Diners have praised the great drink selection and welcoming atmosphere, particularly enjoying summer views from the deck. Many appreciated the attentive staff, with some noting efficient service even for large groups. However, food quality has sparked dissatisfaction, ranging from sparse portions to poorly prepared dishes, leading to uncomfortable interactions with management when complaints arose. While loyal patrons cherish their fond memories and the pub's inviting surroundings, recent visits highlight inconsistency in food and service, leaving some customers yearning for improvement.
