What User doesn't like about King William Iv:
Friday evening a chilled, casual place with good eating for dinner - this meets all our requirements and went beyond expectations! every dish that we had from the lammkoftas, deep roast brie to rack from lamb and filet steak was delicious- the sauces made the dishes. the only underpass was the slow service, but since it was quite late, it was understandable. great local pub!

This is a great Little Pub which is for your locals and for people who like a drop of real Beer and Ale. They have many events during the year from full scale b...

The King William Pub evokes a spectrum of experiences, akin to a local dive with character. While some patrons praise its impressive selection of locally brewed ales and a warm atmosphere created by friendly staff, others lament unwelcoming locals and instances of poor service. Comments about cleanliness and odors hint at maintenance issues, detracting from its charm. Events throughout the year, including festivals and live music, appeal to many. However, the absence of food and a sometimes clique-ish vibe leave a divide among visitors. Ultimately, the King William is a place best suited for locals seeking a casual drink.

Although it’s quite small, this is a proper old fashioned pub, there’s no fancy sides just good drinks friendly atmosphere
