King William Iv Chigwell in Epping Forest

Decent little boozer. Foods ok. Service is not quite the same since Antonella left but never-the-less it's nice enough sitting outside on a sunny day. Go to the bar for service now-a-days, which is no stress but it's changed so don't sit there like a mug waiting like I did. I've seen famous people here before so if that's your thing give it a go. One time we saw a rapper whose name I can't remember but my far younger colleague recognised him and stated "that guy got me through uni". I pointed out that he had failed uni. * Neither rapper nor colleague is in the attached photo.

Visited for lunch today.Staff pleasant and helpful.Food is reasonably priced and menu quite varied.Lunch was served piping hot and was really tasty.There is outdoor seating area and parking.Definitely worth a visit .

Had dinner in the king William last night (1st May) The food was shocking , bland and tasteless , I informed the waiter but he really didn’t care , he just shrugged he’s shoulders (helpful) !! I highly recommend you avoid this place for food .

nice neat friendly pub with a mostly sheltered beer garden to the side

Had a great Sunday dinner, relaxed atmosphere, great staff and lovely food. Will come again.

My first time visiting and I will definitely be back. The service was perfect and the food- second to none. Big thank you to Callum for the wonderful service the entire evening.

Great night Callum was fabulous

Extremely expensive for the quality and service. Spent 73 pounds on two burgers and two glasses of wine and it took an hour and a half for the food to arrive and it was a pretty low quality average burger. Wouldn’t expect that for the price.

Had a nice eve ing with my family here lovely service and good choice of fish dishes on the specials menu will be back

Great afternoon in the sun with delicious food and cocktails

Nice enough, food was fine but not great. Staff were friendly and pleasant but felt a bit overwhelmed. Would go back.

We booked a table for Mother's Day for myself 4 adults and 2 children for 4.30pm and I was really looking forward to it. Our starters came at 5.30pm Dinner at 6.40 and sweet at 7.30pm. Obviously having 2 children with us and waiting so long was not a pleasant experience and ruined what should have been the highlight of my day. I understand that times sometimes run late but to wait over 3 hours for our precooked meal is shocking. Obviously one of our party had to leave early to take the children home which just spoiled what should have been a lovely day. No apologies were given.

Brandon was lovely and very accommodating. The food was 10/10

Went for Mother’s Day lunch with my girlfriend, knew we shouldn’t have gone because it was a three course fixed Mother’s Day menu when restaurants normally charge you more. We were seated in this stuffy dungeon area, should have left straight away but we didn’t! Service was extremely slow, we were in there for three hours in total but it was extremely busy. Staters and main courses were really tasty (Sunday roast) managed to get the dessert orders wrong but it was getting so late I just accepted what was put in front of me. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to the King William, maybe I’ll go back when it’s not so busy.

I don’t normally write a review but I was taken here as a surprise on Mothers Day and had the best time. The quality of the food was exceptional, thats why I had to recommend it. We all had different meals from sea bass/ burger/ steak and I had the two cuts beef which was superb. I don’t think I have had beef like it, as it was sooo tender and the sides/veg were perfect , all very yummy. Oh and the deserts were very naughty, but very very nice. Thank you to our lovely waitress who served us outside. I’m sorry I have forgotten your name, but you were great, juggling what was a very busy day.. highly recommend. And congrats to The Chef. All of the food was fantastic!!!

Lovely meal great service from Alan will comeback Thanks

Great service from the guys , they always look after us banging cocktails and love the new chicken skewers

To the woman working the bar today, 26/03/2025 @ 17.40. Don't work in the service industry if you're going to act like the customer you're serving is an inconvenience to your day. Go and learn some manners if your parents never taught you.

Good service from Alan really attentive

A lovely sunny Sunday! Great roast dinner and lovely service from Olivia :)

amazing place amazing food alex an Jo Jo are giving great guest experience will definetely comeback here again

Excellent service from Callum and Jo with great knowledge of the menu to help with my dietary needs. Good variety also for all needs/preferences. Kitchen staff Rob and Peds helped me also and delivered my food to me personally as they knew I was shy about having dietary requirements and put me at ease. They took the time to ask and care. Felt like family. Food was excellent and cooked perfectly. Top tier Sunday roast with generous portions. Quick and caring service. I will be coming back again soon.

Awful and rude staff toward closing time.

Awful service, always quick to kick us out at 9pm on a Monday night because its empty. You can sense it as soon as we walk in theyre dreading having to serve us, it's not our fault your restaurant is dead midweek. But closing early and refusing service is pathetic to be quite honest. Don't advertise being open until 11pm if you aren't going to stay open until 11pm.

Alen was amazingly helpful! And the food is exceptional favourite pub (especially Sunday roast) by far !!

Very nice Food is amazing our waiter Alex was absolute diamond and chefs in the kitchen have amazing cooking skills will definetely comeback

Amazing food service and drinks will recommend to friends

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Had a wonderful dining experience ! Our waitress, Alex, was very friendly and offered great recommendations. Special thanks to Chef Rob for the perfectly cooked fillet and delightful dishes. His culinary skills made the evening truly memorable. Highly recommend this place!

had a really libely Boxing day lunch here with my family , food amd service wete great

Had a lovely Christmas Day lunch here , the staff were very welcoming and they accommodated us as we were a big table Thank you guys

Tasty food and drink, great atmosphere, smart rooms and friendly and welcoming staff

The scallop tasted bitter. We told the manager about that but he just said they served this dish to plenty of customers but no complaint was heard. Then he went away. We tried to finish it but it was really can’t be swallowed so we need to throw it out from mouth. So sad! It is my dad’s birthday and Christmas Eve.

We had Sunday roast, veggie option was very average, lacking flavour. The whole meal was too plain, veggie wellington was undercooked. Wouldn’t recommend it. Nice mulled wine though.

Our waiter Calum was excellent, great service, and a very nice meal shared with friends.

Very Good meal, Alan was an excellent waiter

Always good food every time I have been here. Our waiter Alen was great; very attentive, kind and helpful.

Went king William for dinner our waitress Iona served us she was amazing she was the only waitress working serving a whole restaurant full of people we full she should be highly rewarded as she did not stop apologising to all of the customers

Amazing staff, we loved their lunch choices. Great price and lovely atmosphere!

Brilliant service from Alen. Great night out. Thank you . X

Had a lovely evening with my sister pizzas were delicious and the staff looked after us

Thoroughly enjoyed our experience at this venue, was treated exemplary with professionalism and warmth especially with regards to allergy concerns. Would certainly recommend.

The roast to share is amazing value for money. 2 of us couldn't finish it!

Cosy atmosphere and great service - Skye remembers your orders after your first visit, makes it feel like the local

Always have a great time here , Dai the manager always sorts us a table we never have to book. Food is great and the staff are welcoming

Sky and Tyler are amazing, drinks are exceptionally amazing, sky always had a smile on face when approaching the bar, Tyler served us plenty of times and greeted us with such positivity, first time here and because of the two of them we will be back,

Tyler and Sky have give an absolutely amazing service, definitely will come back purely because of the two of them 🥹🥰

Nice lunch cosy efficient new staff

Hi looked after us tonight and was great service

Great food,wine and fantastic service . Tyler and Dai were great.

Lovely lunch with a group of friends today! Fantastic roast dinner, asked for extra gravy though which is meant to be bottomless which never came. Great veggie option and the cheese sauce was epic with the cauliflower.

Rubbish, food absolutely shocking. No beef burgers 😂 so cod a chips and cod grey mush. Spoon full of pees and you can count the amount of chips on your hand. Very poor, the restaurant is not in a good place.

The most amazing Sunday spent here with friends the service was amazing and the food is delightful. Will define return it’s a hidden treasure

Great service, good food and drink selection and reasonable prices. Not a single complaint from the whole group.

Great pub, good pints,excellent food,the best in Chigwell. Also nice to be served by the manager,Irish guy Dave. Really great banter here. Sunday roast the is the best I ever had!

Brilliant place, food, staff and cocktails. Definitely will book for Sunday roast!

Had an amazing lunch thanks to manager dai and ioana last week!

We had a lovely meal, service was ok but they did forget us a bit

Food & service was great - Alen made us feel very welcome Thank you :)

Went for dinner with 3 of my friends yesterday. We met at 8, we ordered starters and main courses. Our starters came out and then our waiter asked if we were ready for our mains and then it was about a 40 min wait before they came out. We queried it and he said that 2 out of 4 meals were ready. Which didn't really make any sense and there was no good will gesture or offer of a free dessert which most places would offer. Not really even an apology. I ordered the panzanella salad with goats cheese and it was revolting. They'd put loads of lemon juice on it including the goats cheese. It was inedible. They did offer me a different main course but it was gone 9.30 by this point and I think the pub closes at 10 so he said he'd just take it off the bill- My friends ordered desserts and we ordered hot drinks too. The waiter was very obliging but the bill still came to £150 and we weren't drinking alcohol. We all felt the food was inferior to previous visits and that the menu options weren't all that nice this time Wouldn't rush back which is a shame as we've been many times before and had a better experience .

Arrived, seated and then had to go and ask where my food was after waiting 45-60mins. The manager who had no idea tried saying it was because my waitress was on her break? How is that my problem? You or someone else can't bring me my food no.......!!!!!! Also food finally arrived and was warm / cold and completely and utterly crap. Worst money spent and zero apologies. Although the waitress was nice / pleasant and helpful but wasted working at this place. Seriously has gone down hill this gaff.

Brilliant service by Tyler and Iona. Really enjoyed my evening tonight at KW. Iona and Tyler made our evening enjoyable and happy with the service

Had a great time here with some friends, Tyler behind the bar was great and made our evening. Will definitely be coming back!

Service was great, especially from Tyler. Top man.

The pub was absolutely amazing lovely stuff especially Tyler and Ioana could of stayed there for hours talking to them both, good pricing on drinks and just overall experience was great.

Great service and food. Definitely recommend.

Very poor service. We ordered from the set lunch menu. Chicken was dry and tasteless. No one attended the table throughout to ask if the food was ok or to offer drinks or clear the table throughout. Manager took 50% off, however never attended the table to discuss our complaint.

Staff was friendly and amazing. I had the dirty burger that was yummy.

Staff were great and attentive. The pub was clean and nice! Definitely coming again.

Excellent ambience and lovely service . The food was very delicious and my kids enjoyed them too .. friendly members of staff.. They are pet friendly as well .. Can’t thank you enough for your kind service Mya.. we will definitely come back

Came in for a drink. Lovely atmosphere

Food was good, venue is very nice. But constantly fighting the flies and wasps away from our food while dining outside was too much.

Loverly meal, and great service.

A really lovely pub with friendly staff and great food! I often come here for business meetings with clients

Went there for a wedding reception the meal was 11 out of 10 very good staff a very nice buffet later on. A great venue

Went for lunch with the family. Charcuterie board was very disappointing, but the halloumi fries made up for it. Mains were very good including the duck salad which was the star. Served by Alen who was very attentive and polite. Shame about the flies as we were sat in the Pergola area and they didn't leave us alone once the food arrived.

Great atmosphere, friendly service, good choice of menu (including the specials) food was well presented and of good quality .....bad point for me ... the service was slow, after ordering, waited a good 20 mins or so for the drinks to arrive and our desserts had not been ordered (although we had ordered everything from the start)....again that said friendly service, good atmosphere, and good food 👍

Sky did such an amazing job of making us feel very welcome

Lovely roast lunch much enjoyed and very reasonable drinks prices Alen our waiter was lovely!

Went here for Sunday lunch, have an amazing fig roast. Not all places can make an outstanding veggie roast.

very good food very good service by my waiter

Went here specifically to meet some friends and it was nice enough, a bit poncey really but then again it is in Chigwell Essex. And almost £15 for a larger and a G&T so if your planning on being here any about of time take LOADS OF MONEY. I wouldn't bother racing back there.
