King William IV in Epping Forest

I recently had a fabulous meal at king William with my girl friends on Saturday 25th November 2023. We were a large group of 12 ladies and I found staff to be very patient which helped to make this a fun and relaxed experience. A special mention must be made to waiter Zak and Waitress Joanna - they were both very polite and attentive and nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely recommend this restaurant based on this visit.

We had a really lovely lunch today - made all the more special by Anita who was highly efficient and friendly. Thank you!

A beautiful Sunday Roast Lunch at the King William. Although rather busy and loud there is a nice ambiance overall. Service was great as Elizabeth was smiley and attentive. We will be sure to be back.

Had a great lunch again with friends and the service we got from orphee again was brilliant nothing was to much trouble and was always happy and smiling , recommend to all friends to come here

Have been to this pub a few time and I can’t fault it but today was exceptionally good! It was very busy when we arrived and we thought we would wait a long time to be served. Our waitress orphee was amazing! Very attentive, knowledgeable and caring. She had such a caring vibe to get and our children absolutely loved her!!!

A bit loud but what a great pub to take your family to! Lovely food and even better service by the lovely young lady Orphee. will definitely be back! Thank you Orphee for looking after us.

Would have been a 5 star if there was even any management around. Me and my partner come Thursday night, food was great couldn’t fault it, service was very good, was served by Zak, was trying his hardest to do everything himself. But there was no manager to be seen until the end of our meal, saw him walk in and hang his coat up just behind our table and could smell the smoke from him. Such a shame that such a nice restaurant, lovely food and service was let down by management!

Absolutely beautiful staff and service! This place is so underrated 10/10 would highly recommended thank me later

Had a great lunch today, well cooked and well presented food. Exceptional service from Orfee who’d looked after us to a legendary degree. Really friendly and experienced. Would definitely recommend and will be returning again soon!

The food is excellent the staff friendly, attentive and on form. Zac our waiter was particularly great at looking after us. Not too much, speedy and funny.

I had an exceptional experience at King William thanks to Zak's exceptional service. His attentiveness and genuine care made our visit truly memorable. He was knowledgeable about the menu, provided top-notch service, and ensured we had a delightful time. Zak's professionalism and friendly demeanor truly elevated our dining experience. Highly recommended for his outstanding service!

My sister and I popped into this eatery on Wednesday night at about five-thirty, and we weren't disappointed. The decor remains unchanged: there's a hint of a rustic feel with quirky prints on the walls. There's a full-bar on your left. We were greeted pleasantly...

Lovely drinks made by Eddie at the bar. Alex was friendly and lovely. She knew the menu and she brought our food out with a smile. Jo was helpful at the bar with drinks as well.

Have been to King William IV a number of times and have never had a bad experience. We were served by Zakaree, who was so attentive, helpful and genuine. Look forward to our next visit.

Really nice food - menu is more interesting than most pubs. Great service too, very accommodating with the kids. Nice space to sit in.

All was well until I was totally ignored at the bar. It was like I was invisible. When I worked in retail (many years ago) if you said to a potential customer 'I will be with you as soon as I can', they do not...

Been going to the King Will in Chigwell for many years and always get best in class service. The food is excellent (especially the Seafood Linguine with Chorizo and Pork Belly) The waiting staff can never do too much for you and we have always...

Great food and excellent waitress in Orphee, really polite and efficient. Had a really pleasant birthday lovely. Relaxed atmosphere.

Not bad food menu needs a bit of an update I would say. Service fair all in all quite a good atmosphere. Sunday roasts are tasty

Popped in for a quick drink and was pleasantly surprised.. enough to stay for dinner and even more drinks! Nothing was too much trouble for the team and we’re so helpful with our random dietary needs. Honestly faultless and we will be back much more.

Terrible service, shocking food and a manager who can’t seem to uphold any level of professionalism under pressure. He slammed the wall in anger, in the middle of the restaurant in front of all the guests and two waitresses as another lady expressed her dissatisfaction...

Great food, good atmosphere, great staff thanks Zak & girls for the hospitality & water bowl for Sammie.

Zach was our waiter and he was absolutely brilliant. Very quick and attention to detail was excellent. He is genuinely a really good guy and king will are lucky to have him. Food was also really good so thanks to the chef too. We will...

Ollie was our waiter and he was absolutely brilliant. Really great lad. We asked for a few extras/ swaps on our meals. He asked the chef and sorted it no problem. I ordered the pork belly, which I’ve had before in the King Will. I...

Eddie served us a few times and was not only professional, but, attentive and efficient! Does the venue justice!

Great staff, great food, great ambience. I go here regularly for exactly that reason. The waitress Aneta is especially welcoming.

Chris is really good. The food was nice and everyone had a nice time. Chris is really very good. He is friendly and extremely helpful. He was from start to finish.

Zachary was amazing, great service. We enjoyed ourselves will definitely come back again. Thank you so much!

Having used to be one of my locals, it’s such a shame to see the poor level of service and general organisation here. I originally had a table booked for 7pm on the terrace - I called earlier on the day (11am) of my booking...

The atmosphere was ok, the first drinks order took a while to come. The staff were friendly and tried to help as much as possible. Some of the cutlery had dried bits on it but the waiter was more than accommodating to change it and...

Thank you Annetta for looking after us last Friday. You were rushed off your feet, yet you managed to serve us well with your smile and you even served us food outside the canopy area.

Had a lovely unplanned lunch in the king william today......we went for a drink in the warm sunshine and were tempted by the nice menu while we were there I had the brisket & cheese pie which was very good and Ian had the duo...

Lovely pub. Food was absolutely exquisite and the service was outstanding. Great place to chill in son

Lovely food and Annetta couldn’t have been nicer. Despite being rushed off her feet she was helpful, and knowledgeable about the menu. Always smiling

Went for lunch here on beginning of May for my daughter’s birthday just the two of us and can honestly say our meal was lovely they were short on staff that day but made every effort to look after us. Want to mention the waitress...

This is my local and I've been here many times. Always a great atmosphere and reliable food. I'm writing this review though to praise Zachary, our waiter yesterday, who really took his time with us and went above and beyond.

Had a lovely time at this pub/restaurant. Was served by a lovely waiter named Zachary who helped me find dishes suitable for my intolerances and went above and beyond to help. Lovely service and would recommend

Aneta Wow!! my first time at the King William pub for lunch and Aneta made our day a great one.. The food is great and the service is the best, it is a must if you are in the area for lunch..

Very disappointed with the menu options. "Can I change chips for new potatoes" = no, it throws our stock control out. What!!! Can I change mushy peas for garden peas = sure, then delivers mushy peas. If you have the mini pud with hot drink...

Eddie is the very best. What a massive asset. Totally awesome, smiley and works sooooo hard. He is the best. Thanks as always. We are regulars and he always looks after us
