King William IV in Mole Valley

My favourite pub. Never disappoints xx

Had a good meal here with a couple of friends. Good food, beer, prices, atmosphere and great location.

We enjoy the food and terrace of The King William IV and looking forward to going back.

Fabulous pub to sit in sunshine and enjoy drink and delicious food following a hike on box hill. Friendly and prompt service - delicious calamari - coffee could be improved.

Views are amazing, lovely peaceful atmosphere even though it was busy. Food was really tasty, service was a little slow but overall a lovely experience. Would come back.

We dined here our last night visiting Oxfordshire, and we definitely saved the best for last! The atmosphere was exactly what we had hoped for in a British pub. Everyone was so nice, polite, and friendly, and the food was delicious! Seriously, y’all’s sticky toffee pudding is life-changing. The beautiful view outside with green hills covered in fluffy sheep, the twinkly lights inside, the brick walls, and beautiful tables, it all came together for just the perfect ambiance. Visiting England was a dream come true, and discovering this gem will stay with us forever.

Amazing food! Amazing views! Great service and really friendly staff, will definitely recommend

Really great food looking across to a lovely sunset. Service was good and although they warned us of new system we really wouldn’t have known!

Fantastic setting with friendly service. Our kids pizza was overcooked but replaced without fuss. The view is amazing - will be back.

Lovely day, lovely pub, great beer, attentive service and very tasty food.

Really enjoyed our lunch today . Excellent (Italian) service and nice beer too

Food was pretty decent and service was wonderful. Made us feel comfortable and welcome. Was a bit expensive for not necessarily value for money as such. But more places are like this now anyway.

We visited this pub on Sunday, and it was very chaotic on the kitchen and behind the bar. Glasses were smashing and food delayed for 1.5hour, we were not notified re this, so just kept waiting. Considering we ordered Sunday roast it categorically shouldn’t be delayed for 1.5h. Wouldn’t recommend this place if you value your time and nerves.

Fantastic food, atmosphere and service. A lovely pub nestled on the hillside of Mickleham with view of the Surrey hills. I’ve lived in the UK for almost a year and the best pub food I’ve experienced was here. We had a delicious roast chicken, the vegan roast was incredible, as well as the vegan cheesecake. Would very highly recommend.

Bank Holiday Sunday so very busy and we had to wait a long time for food. Manager/owner came out and apologised for delay to those affected. When the food came tho, it was 1st class. Angus burger cooked perfectly and chips/fries were skin on and again, perfectly cooked. We did however require the toilets before our ride home and unfortunately these were not as expected. Only one toilet in Ladies and mens and 3 VERY cosy urinals. Not sure if my hands were dirtier after washing them! Very run down and in desperate need of upgrading to match every other aspect of our visit. Extremely unfortunate. The staff were very attentive and cheerful even on such a busy day

Prompt service, relaxed atmosphere, very tasty food and friendly staff, set in the glorious backdrop of the Surrey Hills. A small pocket of England's green and pleasant land. All of that and they didn't even impose a service charge so naturally we happily paid one without hesitation.

Lovely Lunch... great service, very friendly welcome. Ideal location, we sat outside but could have been inside, either are terrific. Top quality food in a delightful location, served by efficient friendly people - we've been coming to the King Bill for many years and always very happy with everything - nice beer too !!! Thank you

Good traditional pub serving selection of food, both standard pub fare and more gastro pub dishes. Serve local brewed beer. Great beer garden with great views. Pub is situated just a few yards off the North Downs Way so well situated for a drop in while walking.

Love the views here! Great service and food, such a unique pub. We'll be back.

We had an exceptional Easter lunch in a refined and welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We had a lovely Easter at The King William IV pub. The Sunday roast was divine, especially the slow-cooked lamb shoulder and the deep-fried calamari – both were outstanding. The setting is beautiful, surrounded by hills, cows, and horses, and the nearby playground was perfect for our little one. The pub has a charming, historic feel with a relaxed atmosphere. Staff were friendly and attentive, and the focus on quality over quantity really shows. Highly recommended!

I have been to Box Hill hiking several times already. I have to say that King William is a nice place to have lunch. However, if you are not vegan, don’t try the vegetarian dish; go for the meat. Their meat is way much better than the Vegetarian dish.

Lovely staff, beautiful spot, delicious food. Boom!

Fantastic small pub, food is unbelievable especially the pies!!!!! Great staff!!

DON'T STOP HERE!!!! This place is well positioned to do exactly what they did to us. They fleeced us £7.50 for a pint of beer and £14 for a double rum and coke. Stuck in the middle of the Surry hills, right on the box hill trail. They have a captive audience who have little other choice than to pay whatever they charge. They were confused when we walked in and sat at the table and then said they'd move us if they got busy because we were only getting drinks. The dining area was empty and we were made to feel totally unwelcome. Not only that, the rather overside, red checked man behind the bar was rude. Take your own drinks and stop somewhere beautiful on the trail. You won't be poor after and you'll be happy too.

One of the best pub meals I've ever had. We had the pie, the calamari and the onion rings and it was all fantastic, pie in particular. Full of flavour and cooked to perfection. Lovely view out onto the hillside too.

Me and a friend were here from London and visited on a Saturday afternoon whilst doing the hike around Box Hill. Luckily we had booked the day before because it was super busy and we did see a few people get turned away. It was a warm, sunny day so we chose to sit in the garden which has beautiful views! The staff were rushed off their feet but service was still ok and quick to take orders. We ordered the BLT and fish finger sandwich with sticky toffee pudding afterwards. Food was lovely and fast to come out. This place was a highlight of our day trip and we would definitely visit if we was down this way

Exceptionally light and airy garden on a balmy summers evening

Such a beautiful setting Great food Lovely people and staff

Top rate food, experience and views.

We attended the pub for dinner, the setting, service and food was all fantastic. Simple menu done really well, glorious location with stunning views across the Surrey Hills and reasonably priced all things considered. Will definitely return.

Fab view, great beer and the staff were lovely! 100% recommend. Went to the Running Horses for food first and regretted our choice - glad we stopped in here for another drink after!

Friendly staff and service was fairly quick. Unfortunately, both my burger and fries were over-cooked. They were still edible but a bit dry.

Friendly and animated service. Good pub grub

Loved this pub but be warned parking is an absolute nightmare and booking is required for their lovely outdoor garden! We had the fish finger sandwich and cheesy chips - everything that went by us looked great though! Despite a very busy day the young staff members / servers were fabulous. Bring cash for a tip!

Fantastic pub garden and lovely friendly staff

There is no better place on a sunny day. Food ia excellent. As are the staff. Have been many times and will be back again.

Fantastic day with the family , excellent service amazing food , thank you to all the staff , we will return, highly recommend.

Incredibly rude staff - we came in without a booking and were treated extremely rudely, as if we were out of order just for asking politely if they had space for us to have a drink. I understand that they were busy but there is no excuse for speaking to customers like that. Not especially intelligent either as we would otherwise have been repeat customers, as regular visitors to the area, but will now avoid. Would not recommend.

We went hoping to have a quick drink and a bite. The waitress looking after the bookings was one of the rudest and most unhelpful I have ever met. There were tonnes of unreserved tables and she refused to seat us or to tell us how long a table might. She sneered at us throughout the conversation and just generally was completely dire. Abysmal service. Don’t go!

Fantastic service, lovely place and views.

Incredibly rude staff - really appalling experience of a kind I have very rarely had in a pub/restaurant. I would strongly recommend avoiding at all costs.

This pub is in a very beautiful setting so if you can sit outside you'll have a great experience. We had Sunday lunch and the food was excellent. The service was also very good, so we were very well looked after. They don't accept tips when paying by card so take cash if you want to show gratitude. Our only criticisms were the slightly limited drinks list and undrinkable coffee, which was a shame. Also the toilets are very basic but clean and stocked. Would definitely recommend to anyone going for a walk nearby.

Beautiful setting with varied menu. Excellent service from Michael

Food good as always nice atmosphere a lovely place to eat and drink

Micheal was excellent, great service.

Brilliant pub with great service and quality roasts. Picturesques views and the best apple crumble I have had in a long while. Unfortunately we were unable to tip due to not having cash so would advise to bring cash to tip the excellent staff who always helped with a smile on their face.

Stopped for lunch on a Friday with 3 friends, after a walk along the Mickleham Gallops. We sat round a table in the garden in the sunshine, and enjoyed the peaceful setting with a view over the Mole valley. We ordered a range of drinks and light meals (crab pate, duck salad and BLT sandwich) and they were all delicious. The service (Federica) was quick and efficient. The pub is on a steep hill and the garden has terraces and steps, so it would not be ideal for those with mobility issues. Remember to bring cash because (a) the pub does not want tips paid on a bank card, and (b) you WILL want to tip!

Everything was burnt or dry . Gravy was so thick- would never go back

A very pleasant dining experience - food excellent.

Wonderful spot in the sun. Federica was brilliant and we wish we had cash for a tip. Calamari is delish

The King William IV in Dorking is a true gem! Perched on a hill with stunning views, this cosy pub offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the food is top-notch – hearty, well-cooked, and full of flavour. The selection of beers and ales is excellent, making it a great spot for both casual drinks and a proper meal. Whether you’re visiting for a Sunday roast or just a pint by the fire, this place never disappoints. Highly recommended!

Have been in all oubs on the route many times and this is by far the best. Food is amazing, staff is great, the terrace is in the sun and makes you feel like in nature, has also big round tables for large groups andlocals come for watching games too

Amazing place. Beautiful terrace in the sun

Lovely cosy pub with a gorgeous outside area! Quite disappointed with the BLT sandwich as it was very basic with not much bacon inside for a steep £13! Would have preferred it to be on white bread not brown wholemeal.

Guinness was watery and flat. Drinks took 30 minutes to come. All 3 of us got the beef burger. You could get a better burger at brockham badgers football tournament. Sub par at best. Waited 30 minutes for bill just to be told they forgot.

It was a warm welcome and food absolutely delicious: duck salad & vegan pie. Lovely open fire. Lots of dogs.

A beautiful shady garden table on a sunny day , with a fabulous view . Delicious roast meal with gravy to die for, and excellent service.

Great food and service with friendly staff. Views were excellent to. If you tip then bring cash.

The king William at mickleham is one of Surreys hidden secrets, the food is truly outstanding. A friend and I arrived on a perfectly ordinary evening and have venison pie, red cabbage, baby potatoes, amazingly tasty and well cooked. The atmosphere is old and cranky, the staff are charming. An unforgettable experience, looking forward to the next time.

Had a lovely Friday fish and chips and burger. 👍🏻👍🏻

Very lovely gastro pub. Great atmosphere, lovely staff and delicious food reasonably priced.

This is such a wonderful place hidden beside the highway. We came from the Running Horses pub in the afternoon because they don’t serve food until 5:30 PM. Before coming, we called the King William restaurant and were assured the food is served all day. The menu is very creative, and our dishes blended different cuisines. We loved everything and ended our meal with affogato. The kid was happy with the kids menu and ice cream. Overall, the staff is very polite, and the food is delicious and thoughtfully prepared. Considering the price and quality, definitely worth a visit!

Beautiful old pub. We were doing the Box Hill Hike and we arrived late for our lunch reservation. The place was bustling but the staff got us a table with zero attitude. The food and beer were excellent and the staff were friendly.

Good food and the staff are always lovely.

Delicious lunch. Great quality food. Attentive service

We had a lovely dinner here. All the staff were incredibly accommodating and friendly. The vegetarian roast had sold out, but the chef made a real effort to offer us several other veggie options. The portions were generous and the food was delicious!

Cute little pub that can feed you well after a day of hikes. Clearly very famous with the locals. The food is great although a bit on the expensive side. Service is prompt and polite. Very cosy atmosphere especially with their log burner in the winter, you really get a nice feel. I can highly recommend this place

My partner and I booked last minute for Sunday lunch and had a splendid time! The staff were extremely accommodating during a very busy service. The roast beef was absolutely superb. A great find that we will definitely be returning to.

The perfect quirky English pub, tucked away up a narrow country lane (parking a slight challenge). We found a genuine warm welcome for our whole family (toddler and small dog included) after a walk on Box Hill. Service was bright and charming at the table with just the right amount of attentive. A shared aperitif of cheesy chips and halloumi took the edge off and the Sunday roast appeared shortly afterwards. My Chicken was great and the silence and empty plates at the end of the main course a testimony to great food. The cinnamon apples really deserved a proper home cooked buttery crumble, but all in all a great end to a lovely day.

Lovely Sunday dinner. Good service

Andy & his staff were brilliant. Amazing roast dinner for lunch, with the best gravy I can remember having at a pub lunch…..we asked for rare beef & they delivered……simply outstanding!

This is my sister and I second visit as we couldn't resist making another visit. A real, old, traditional feel to the pub, it is an absolute delight. We have only sampled the calamari (delicious), each time with a side order of chips, but both were very good, and reckon the chips are some of the best we have ever had. Cat's cooking and presentation is superb, and Harvey a charming and solicitous waiter. We can't wait to return.

Horrible stressful experience - ignorant manager although understand pub is family owned who in front of customers rushed around letting everyone know two members of staff had rung in sick today - I wonder why !!! Made one mistake after the other with table bookings and showed little respect towards his staff in the horrible way he spoke to them . What was meant to be an enjoyable afternoon having a quiet drink we were only too glad to leave such an environment.

Great spot, and friendly staff, but the owners really need to do up the place. The garden is a mess with just stuff lying around. Only one outdoor heater worked. Ash trays hadn't been cleared. The Shere beer had a odd taste like dirty pipes/wasn't fresh. Just gone downhill.

Our go to pub after a walk in Box Hill. The atmosphere, food and service are always lovely and we always look forward to coming back.

Warm atmosphere, attentive staff and a delicious menu (including a great vegan roast and burger burger). Looking forward to our next visit.)

Thank you so much for the evening. The food was excellent.

The risotto was fabulous with friendly staff.

We had a brillant meal, highly recommend.

A welcoming pub on a damp Friday in-between Christmas and New year... the food and beer were excellent ..a superb place to visit after a nice walk with excellent service....make a visit !

Just returned from this wonderful establishment. I have been going to the King Bill for over 30 years. I have never had a bad experience. Great Ales, great location, lovely scran & very pleasant staff. Thank you! *****

It was a really great afternoon - lovely food and great service - thank you so much.

A warm lunchtime welcome having walked from Rykas. Glad to be offered the table near the log burner. Toasty! Very friendly waitress. Good pint of guest ale from By the Horns. I had the roast duck leg with rich gravy, the kids opted for burgers with chips. One cherry pie, one apple crumble for pudding. Both delicious. Very pleased, will definitely be back!

We dropped in for a pre-Christmas dinner with some friends and went with the Sunday Roast. Absolute 10/10 meal, everything on the plate was delicious. What's even more impressive is that our waitress told us that one of the chefs named Hayden had just started today. Great service, great food and lovely old pub. The only thing I regret is not coming sooner!

The food was great and well portioned. Nice warm pub with helpful staff

Great little traditional independent pub. With proper pub grub! Loved it

And an excellent pint of Shere Drop too!!

Excellent food, tastefully prepared, delightfully served in a cosy atmosphere, dog-friendly, with a splendid view over the Surrey hills.

Lovely small, cosy, independent pub with a large garden view a view. Sunday roast and the deserts were all really good. Efficient, friendly service. Will definitely return.

Great unspoilt local pub serving well cooked food at sensible prices.

We were made so welcome and the food was great. We will be back!

One of the best pub meals I've had for a long time. I had a steak and ale pie with veg, and the best gravy I've ever tasted, accompanied by a well kept pint of Surrey Hills Shere Drop. Efficient, polite service from the young man serving, and a cosy bar with a fire on a dreich day. The prices were reasonable for this part of the world and it felt good to support a truly independent pub.

Lovely location and great views. We used to be regulars but find that the food is inconsistent and a bit overpriced. The biggest issue we have with the place though is how badly the owner speaks to his staff and customers. He can be very rude and I’ve had to bite my tongue a couple of times to avoid a situation.

My wife & I received an extremely warm welcome on what was a very rainy evening. The King William IV has a cosy feel and friendly service to match. The food we had - all three courses - was excellent. There was also a good range of drink options. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Lovely pub, warm log fire, perfect for a wet, winter's day. Great food and drink.

The food was exceptional - cosy pub, sat next to the fire. Perfect evening.

Good range on the menu, wonderful mature garden with shady options. Service prompt and friendly
