Just wonderful evening in this pub. Fire places were lit and there was a lovely autumnal atmosphere. They had some kind of Christmas demonstration table, which was lovely and we chatted to the manager-David, what a nice chap. Yes we took a menu and we will book for Christmas dinner, because the food we had was excellent. I recommend the sticky chicken! Cocktails fab, service fast and friendly. 10 out of 10!

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.

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!

Came here recently after hearing/seeing how it had been completely refurbished. In the main the reviews had been positive. Husband had steak and daughters had burgers and one had fish. I chose the Hunters Chicken. Hubby said his steak was cooked really well and my daughters who had burgers said very tasty, although one had to ask for more chips (only had about 6! and the other one was missing her onion rings). By the time she got them her meal was finished. My Hunters was awful. In the picture it looks like its a big piece of chicken in a dish (not sure why it comes with salad) ? Unfortunately when it arrived it was literally tiny, prob a chicken thigh at most; had no bacon and was literally microwaved to death, a sprinkle of cheese and a squirt of BBQ sauce. I was going to send it back but it was packed so would have taken ages to re-order so just left it and had a dessert. We also had the unfortunate incident of a young man coming in to the restaurant shouting on his mobile phone, moving from chair to chair and very very agitated. Ourselves and the people on the table next to us all said he definitely looked like he was on something. Luckily as we was going to say something to the manager he left. This place is stunning in its decor and the bar staff are lovely as is the manager/waiting staff. I think however, that they need to get the meals right. The portions are very small and my husband and daughter said that the only part of their meal that was hot was the chips. I do think that there is still an element of a certain type who still go in there. I remember from years ago it was known as an "aggro pub" and I suspect that it is hard to get rid of these people when they have used it for years as a local. Personally I think that it is best to go there when it is quiet, ie early evening, afternoons and not in school holidays. If the food is sorted out it will def be worth going back. Cannot fault the staff they are all lovely and make you feel really welcome.
