Inadvertently ended up here again for Sunday lunch when in the area. Just as good as a couple of years ago. Excellent service and food (Roast), great atmosphere. Obviously popular as very busy.

So lovely to discover this pub for Sunday lunch after a recent recommendation. We weren’t disappointed as it was fantastic. Warm welcome & lovely service. Prices reasonable & will 100% be going back & will recommend.

Had a superb Sunday lunch in this lovely old, recently refurbished pub. The roast beef was lean and perfectly cooked, as were all the veggies - generous portions too. Added a cauliflower cheese but we struggled to finish - shame not to though, as it was all so tasty. Service was excellent, prompt, cheerful and very attentive. Finished with a delicious dessert. First rate food and service, and excellent value for money. Clearly very popular - will definitely visit again soon.

We've recently re-discovered The King William and have had a number of delicious meals with different groups of friends. We'd not been there on a Sunday until last week and the roast was one of the best we'd ever had at a pub. Great and attentive staff. 10/10 from us.

Our first visit here since the refurbishment. The food and service were both very good but we sat in the dining area at the back and were disappointed by the decor. Everything was very grey and bland and no imagination seems to have gone into it. On the other hand the front of the pub is cosy and welcoming! Would this stop us from returning? Probably not. 😊

This little gem we have visited twice in just over a week ! The refurb is stunning and really well thought out Our food has been nothing but excellent both times I ate pollock and sea bream, both cooked perfectly My husband had calves liver which looked delicious even though I would never choose that myself ! My friends had a gorgeous dessert with coffee amaretto and ice cream Highly recommend to eat here if you are in the area They have a large screen for popular films in the garden ( think Dirty Dancing kind of film!) and the Olympics which looks fun for the summer evenings and a monthly quiz night which we will go to in October ( and probably come last but hey) Five stars from us

Came here with the family on Sunday for lunch. The food, service and staff were superb, they made sure we had everything we could’ve wanted and really went above and beyond helping us to celebrate two birthdays - (a big thank you to Will for looking after us)! The roasts were all delicious, as was the duck salad. Great selection of drinks and a lovely sunny garden to enjoy them in. Would recommend this pub to anyone in Surrey!

Everything from the food, staff and ambience were right up there with some of the best around and on a par with our perennial favourite, The Old Plough at Stoke D'Abernon.

This is fast becoming our new favourite pub in the area. The team from the Onslow Arms in Clandon has apparently re-formed to run at least the kitchen here and the great food is most welcome back. As others have said, the acoustics I. The restaurant aren’t great but I’m not going to let that detract from a lovely evening meal for a special occasion yesterday. Also impressed with how attentive the staff were despite a (very) busy evening with the quiz and the football!

Having driven by numerous times in the past and not called in, we thought we should give it a try, especially as the pub had recently been refurbished. Pleasantly surprised. Spacious friendly pub, the (foo)TEA beer was well kept and excellent. The food was also very good - we had the Durban vegetable curry and the Cajan Salmon nicoise salad. We will be tempted to call in again next time we are in the area.

I was very pleased to find that the King William IV has re-opened, under new ownership presumably but the premises have not changed a lot and the menu has a few more of the good-value lunches that we enjoy. My wife had a generous bacon and brie baguette, happily free from ingredients you would never add at home. I enjoyed a jacket potato with chill con carne, fast food perhaps but nothing wrong with it and with a fresh home made salad on the side. Service was friendly and the covered patio rather pleasant in the good weather, though there was an inevitable wasp that we could have avoided by eating inside.

Came here for Sunday roast with my husband and another couple. The only mains on offer were four Sunday roast options - fair enough. Staff were all really friendly and service was prompt. The food was not the best Sunday roast I have had, to be honest. I had the chicken, which although tasty was on the dry side. The others had beef which was very good, generously cut with thick slices, although one of the others in the group was given the end of the joint slice, which was burnt, and my husband said that the beef itself was not that tasty. The potatoes were ok but nothing special (I think my own roasties are better to be honest); the Yorkshires were underdone and not properly risen at all and the veg was ok but again nothing brilliant. Most of us had the sticky toffee pudding for dessert and that WAS good!

I can’t recommend this pub and it’s staff highly enough. Beautiful setting, really welcoming, helpful and friendly staff. We had a delicious Sunday roast and Kids loved their ham, egg chips and fish and chips. We sat on the patio which was beautifully laid out and unusually were able to relax as there was a brilliant play area for the kids ( ours 5,3 and 1) which kept them entertained and within eye/earshot. Manager (?) Chris was endlessly and intuitively helpful, offering up a phone charger when he realised we had low battery, and even taking myself and my husband and kids home after we couldn’t get a taxi. The warm welcome from the staff was matched by some lovely locals who glanced over and had a chat. We really couldn’t believe our luck having stumbled upon the William 4th. We will certainly come back whenever we are close.

....On my first pub outing (Since lockdown eased) with son and young grandchildren, it started well as 5pm hardly anyone else there on the deck outside, which is a nice area. However, I’ve given a poor rating, because my granddaughter chose Chicken nuggets and only after 10 minutes were we told they’d run out. She’s a vegetarian mostly, so had to go for the pasta, which she was disappointed with. My grandson was happy with his ham, eggs and chips, Then later on they chose their dessert of vanilla and chocolate ice cream. No vanilla ice cream! This made me quite annoyed as I told the waitress. A Wednesday afternoon and the chef unable to stock up the children’s menu! Very bad planning, especially as there are 2 large supermarkets locally. Lazy attitude ... I used to own a restaurant and the last thing you want is to run out of foods BEFORE service. Chef’s fault.For me, the whole experience was ruined, as my treat to the family fell flat. The rest of the food was ok, for the “eat out to help out” reduced bill.I wasn’t entirely sure that the staff were observing social distancing and the children’s paper menu was very used. I’m not sure whether the plastic covered menu was sanitised before and after use. A little more effort, especially attention to food supplies needed.

Staying nearby, we took a walk into the village and decided to stop for a bite to eat. We chose a table in the garden and shared an enormous club sandwich between us. How any one person could eat it, I will never know. It was delicious and actually very good value, as we shared it. Disappointed to see 10% added to the bill, as we would have given a tip anyway - probably a larger one. But hey! We enjoyed our lunch. Thank you.

On Sat 4th Jan we called and were able to get a table for 12.30 for 4 for lunch. From the moment we arrived we were greeted by friendly staff who gave us a lovely table enabling us to watch the children play outside from the warmth of within!Our food arrived promptly and the portion sizes were great - even the children's.During our stay a large group of people arrived at the bar and thus impacted the wait for my children's puddings. The waitresses were always updating and apologising for the delay which was useful and given my two were enjoying playing outside the wait did not really affect us. The pudding was worth the wait apparently!Our overall feelings coming away were how much the staff were concerned with customer service and ensuring that we had a worthwhile visit. Whilst i have visited here a few times before and always had a good experience i wanted to share this feedback for others to encourage a drink or dinner there.In the summer there is a bouncy castle erected for little ones and an all year round little play area for slightly older ones. Great little country pub.

This is a great little pub on the edge of the Surrey Hills, in a quiet spot in the middle of the village. It is all too rare to find a true pub these days that has retained all of its character and warmth but has managed to combine this with all of the expectations that we have these days. Mark and his team are incredibly welcoming and go out of their way to make this a family friendly and all inclusive pub. The menu is regularly evolving and has something for everyone from the old favourites to the more contemporary, along with various nights where there are themed food evenings. There is a fantastic covered deck and garden at the back which is a real pleasure in the summer and all in all you would have to go a long way to find such a good local pub.

First time have been to this pub but it’s local for friends so met them there for lunch. Food was well presented and very nice although think the nachos starter was very overpriced for what you got. We all enjoyed hot food and good service but remember the service charge is automatically added on the bill. Pub is bigger than looks from outside so tables are not all squashed together. There are two elements can just have pub bar snack or restaurant meal. Staff were very pleasant and would go there again if passing but not have the nachos unless cheaper !

Although I have lived in this area for about 35 years, this was my first visit to this pub, it certainly won't be the last! I met a group of friends for lunch; on a Monday lunchtime it was fairly quiet with no background music - a considerable plus in my book. Spacious interior with tables nicely spaced, so easy to chat comfortably. Most of us had soup or sandwiches, bacon, brie and cranberry was my choice, and all was very tasty. There were other options, although I did not look at the main menu. We were most impressed by the friendliness of the staff and the delightful young waitress, who smiled constantly! Staff make such a difference to any establishment, so well done to the King William IV, we will return!

Our local King Billy has long been a firm favourite of ours for lunchtime snacks after walks with our two dogs, plus occasional evening meals. Great atmosphere and service, very dog-friendly and good pub food - our recipe for success. We'd been told about the new chef and thought we'd try him out on Valentine's Day. We were not disappointed by any means by what was a very professional meal. Really interesting flavour combinations and perfectly cooked, including the halibut which is notoriously easy to overcook. Combine that with the Billy's usual friendly and professional service and it all looks very promising. We look forward to seeing how the chef integrates his culinary expertise into the main menu as he further settles in.

Over time we have found the King William to always be welcoming - unspoilt by corporate design & attitude. I wouldn't call it a gastro-pub...its a lovely country pub. Recently they have recruited a new chef so we booked in a party of 5 which included retired publican/chef & the rest of us who can be lets say...critical. So, how was it..? Well I can happily say that we enjoyed very well cooked & presented dishes which were on the satisfying portion side & there were certainly no complaints from any of the party...we came away satisfied on all counts. Good friendly service too. I hope this continues as this is a lovely comfortable pub where walkers to special occasion custom seems to be truly welcomed & valued.

We’ve eaten at the King Billy on a number of occasions and having heard there is a new chef on board, booked a table for dinner. The staff were friendly and welcoming as always, and the food was a selection of quality ingredients put together in a very creative way. It was well presented, perfectly cooked and truly delicious. Service was unhurried but attentive. Keep up the good work. We’re so lucky to have Mark and his team in our local area.

We were told about the new chef at the King William IV and thought we'd give it a try on Valentines day. Apparently he has only been there a few weeks but has clearly settled in well to produce such a quality menu. Quite exceptional quality and very well presented and on this basis excellent value for money. The staff always look to make everyone welcome even those who only visit occasionally. Highly recommended

Starters very small and over priced, mains nearly everything served with awful stodgy potatoes or chips not a good selection of vegetables, sausages poor, puddings were good and a fair price, their also appears to be a lack of staff, has their chef changed?

We have just had our family Christmas meal here -a party of 17. The pub has lovely Christmas decorations up, they had created place names with our menu choices on it which saved me having to remind everyone what they had ordered! From the moment we walked in we were made to feel welcome, the service was excellent nothing was too much trouble. The food arrived on time and importantly it was lovely and hot and very tasty. We had a wonderful time and will certainly be back.

We came here for dinner last night and it was lovely! Very traditional pub with a cosy and quiet atmosphere. We each had something different on the menu and all was delicious, especially the homemade Pizza and the Steak burger. Staff were very polite, efficient and friendly. Will definitely be coming back again soon!

Had a great lunch here with friends in their lovely restaurant area. Friendly staff and great menu. The staff are working hard to provide more gluten free options. I tried the gluten free pizza which was excellent. The chef cooks gluten free fish and chips in a separate fryer so no worries about cross contamination.

Never having been here before, our lunch here was a really excellent experience. The restaurant is very comfortable and there are friendly staff and a good menu with a variety of nice dishes. There were four of us and we had two fish pies, a lamb burger and a pork schnitzel. All our meals were excellent and they were served in good time by a very friendly and helpful young waitress. She was a star and we noted how she went out of her way to do everything well and anticipate our every need. She spotted one of us having finished a pint of beer and immediately offered to get another one for us, which we would otherwise soon have asked for. Well before our food arrived, she also brought us nicely presented mayonaise and tomato sauce in little china dishes on a napkin and plate with two teasoons. You may say, why mention this, but it was a very nice touch and said a lot about how she and the management care to doo things well. The pork schnitzel was supberb with red cabbage and creamy mashed potatoes and it was no trouble at all for them to provide my with a small jug of gravy on the side, which was a real bonus for this dish. Well done young lady and many congratulations to your management team! We'll be there again for sure.

My food was delivered nearly 2 hours late. I hd ordered chilli sauce but requested mint sauce instead in a note, I was given Mayo. I had a chicken and shish kebab on garlic bread. The lamb was burnt and the chicken was ok but some of it was grey - not healthy looking, the salad consisted on a mound of lettuce 2 pieces of tomato and 4 thick slices of onion, no cucumber. The best part of the meal was the cheese garlic bread which was free. I ordered 2 tubs of ice cream when it arrived it was soft so I put it in freezer. I had requested 2 tubs of chocolate ice cream and got 1 cookie dough and 1 strawberry cheesecake of which I am not over keen. Usually ice cream from Kebab King is a 500ml tub for £2, ok not a big name brand but very nice all the same. Today I receive Ben and Jerrys 100ml tubs for £2 each. Personally I would have preferred the previous cheaper brand. The ice cream, when I went to eat it straight after my meal was too soft with a coat of ice around it. The strawberry I couldnt eat as when I took the top off it looked minging. I have taken a photo of the strawberry ice cream and will send it to whoever asks for it. I have always used Kebab King for a take away but I am dubious as to whether or not use them again. One very disappointed customer!!!

Visited today. The pub was undeservedly quiet. We sat in the bar area but enjoyed waitress service. We both had sandwiches. Sausages and onion; prawn cocktail. Both very good with pleasant salad garnish. Portions were a little on the large side but otherwise no complaints. Will visit again.

I don’t mind a long wait for fresh good food but this was just awful, poorly presented and fresh out of the microwave. Not cheap either. Waitress seemed pretty clueless as well. You’ve guessed it, I would not recommend at all and can’t understand the other good reviews perhaps an off day!

The plate was piled high with well-cooked (not over-cooked) vegetables, four slices of roast beef, crunchy roast potatoes and a beautiful Yorkshire pudding. All topped off with very tasty gravy. Excellent value at just under £14! Well worth a return visit!

So always served quickly and food is good however prices have gone up a bit and they only take cash??!!! Is always busy at the weekends but they are closing all of august WHAT ??? It’s the only place to grab a descent bite to eat in the daytime around here. Improvements would be better quality of red and brown sauce they do use the cheaper versions which in my opinion ruins the breakfast.

Deze pub wordt gerund door de dorpsbewoners. Heel enthousiaste bediening en lekker eten voor een geringe prijs. Bij mooi weer ook buiten eten in de beergarden.
