The King William IV in South Hams - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Very busy, good food, well priced. No parking.

Chatty pub with nice background hum of conversation... well managed by mostly affable staff... This doesn't affect anything , I know , but the interior could do with cheering up...reds and warm colours.....

The burger was phenomenal, loads of food and quality was top notch! Service was friendly and fast! Extremely good value and cannot wait to visit again!

✨️We usually stop here for drinks sometimes food on a day trip to Totnes! Get in early as can be very busy during lunchtime. Great service, great range of food, the portions of food are huge ! And good choice of ciders. A great pub 👌 🍺🍲

Called in for a drink, barman was friendly and chatty. The pub was very pleasant, very clean and tidy. The chairs were comfortable. Good selection of drinks, including cocktails and lots of gins. This place offers accommodation and food too, though we didn't try these.

Great service friendly staff great atmosphere and good food

Some good Vegan options, the fajitas were delicious, my partner enjoyed the Vegan burger. Friendly staff, nice vibe.

Great pub. Good food that was exactly what I wanted and the beer, Proper Job, was excellent. £5 pp. Don't be put off by reserved tables as the guvnor will sort something out for you. There's an extended happy hour from 3pm.

A great, traditional family-run pub, with good food, good atmosphere and excellent personalised service, worth climbing up the hill to

Overall a pretty ok place to stay. Not the best in the world, and they didnt give me a room with a bath like I requsted in the booking form (do to my limited mobility). And the live music in the evening was a little loud, the floor was vibrating in my room upstairs! Could only just hear the TV over it. But it stopped at 11pm when the pub closed anyway so it wasnt too bad. Otherthan that, very nice.

Beast breackfast in England so far. Everything was perfect in this quaint proper English pub. Loved it and we recommend it.

I heard some interesting music passing this pub so popped in to check it out - and was immediately accosted by a chap insisting I go immediately go to the bar, insinuating I was a "freeloader". Not a good welcome to a new pub, tbh. If it wasn't for the great band playing (Strange Almond) I would have walked out. It is going to take a while for this treatment to subside but I am willing to give them another chance.

Nice place,,good beer,pleasant staff,,food was excellent

Draught Stella Artois!! Best pint for miles. Good selection of other beers and the food looked tasty.

Having booked a round Robin trip from dartmouth, as part of the trip, we stopped in Totnes and decided to have a drink and some food. This pub looked inviting and busy, so we ordered a Beef Lasagne with garlic bread and a beef roast dinner. What a mistake, the beef lasagne was the worst I had EVER tasted, bland and not much filling although in fairness there was a ton of cheese on top (probably to hide the lack of food underneath). The roast dinner was bland but loads of food (the wife said). Sadly we will not be returning, I would have given 1 star, but the ambience and drinks were quite nice.

Nice pub Great food Lovely staff

Not for us, I'm afraid. Rather run down, no sparkling water, my lager tasted like the pipes hadn't been cleaned in a while. Won't be visiting again.

Good food and reasonably priced. The King Bill burger was excellent including huge onion rings. Cheeseburger also good. A selection of real ales too so a good lunch spot

Today was my birthday as we were spending the day together me, mom, nan and grandad visting Totnes. When we got there, we decided to have a spot of lunch somewhere before spending our time doing some shopping afterwards. The King William IV are a family run, town centre pub with kitchen and rooms. The pub offered brunch, lunch and evening service as well as special menu. Along with being dog friendly, that means anyone can bring in their dog with them. When the four of us enter inside this establishment, there was a warm and welcoming feeling in the air. We went up to the bar where we were served by a male staff member, who ask us how many are there so he could find a table for us. So we wanted a tabof four, and ask if we could sit at a sudden one, which the man allowed us to. When all four of us took a seat at the table, we look at the menus provided for us. This pub has a great selection of food and drink, with a reasonable price. So I decide to order a glass of J2O orange and passion fruit drink, along with ordering the chili dish for my main meal. I can tell from looking around the place with my own two eyes, that it is a nice and relaxing atmosphere. After a moment or two of waiting for our order, it finally came. You can see from the photo I took of my meal down below, that a nice and generous portion was provided for me. The meal contains some warm beef bean, served with rice & nachos. After finishing the chili and siping down my drink, I can tell you that it was a lovely meal to have. Words that describe this meal is delicious, piping hot and well presented. Really good value for money of what we were served to us today. All of the staff were polite, helpful and very friendly to us. They did a great service doing our time there, making us four feel very welcome. Definitely would come here again in the future and would recommend it to anyone who visit Totnes.

Only ever stopped for drinks before, so tonight we had a roast and a kedgeree, really enjoyed both, good size portions and really good food. Will return.

Passing by on Fathers Day, with the Euros as well on we thought no chance but they fit us in. Excellent vegan options: Fajitas, Nut Roast, Burger, Bean Chilli & more Staff very friendly 😊 Parents enjoyed their meat roast too!

this place made my trip to Totnes worth it. food was incredible. would drive the miles just to eat there again.

Food good. Not one for sharing lunch with barking dogs...ok.

I would be happy to come back, everything was great

Excellent food and good service.

We have heard how good this pub is for a while & finally tried it. We were not disappointed. We were seated near some regulars who had come from Brixham, they had been coming for years! The food was excellent, plenty on the plate, well cooked, with plenty of veg & extra gravy for the roast. A good selection on the menu, a well stocked bar with good ales. Highly recommend this pub, in fact we are meeting friends soon from Newton Abbott.

This place is great! The food is good, lots of choice, comes quickly and is very reasonably priced. We ate there twice on our stay and to get a roast dinner if you want, any day of the week is great!! But above all, the staff are very friendly and balance between tourists and locals perfectly and we felt so welcome both times. Highly recommend it!

The food is excellent, loved it

Lovely town pub excellent service 👍

Wonderful meal and great staff. Would reccomend trying the fish dishes as they tasted great.

This place felt like a real find on a rainy Spring day in Totnes. Not exactly high end food, but decent portions, a variety of offerings at decent prices. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good beer. Overall I'd highly recommend.

We stayed here for 4 night while walking in the area with some friends. Unfortunately they don't serve breakfast until 10am, a bit late for us. The pub was lovely, very friendly, good atmosphere and delicious food. The rooms were a little dated, but fine for our needs. Would have been nice to be asked if everything was OK with our rooms, and if we'd had a nice time when we were leaving!

Great atmosphere. Friendly happy bar staff. I had a roast and it was FANTASTIC 😋 Really nice pub 🍻

Best Roast beef with all the trimmings we've ever had! Superb food and great service!

Excellent Sunday roast. Perfect beef, yummy Yorkshire puddings, lovely cauliflower cheese and heaps of gravy. Great service.

Great food and service. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely go again and will recommend it. Live music at weekends if that's your thing

Great food, good value, and they serve the best pint of Jail Ale in Devon! I can't fault them.

Very friendly staff great food and beers lovely food and not expensive We were made very welcome it was just like being in our local and not just a tourist

Great prices and venue, especially during their happy hour. Won’t struggle getting a seat and they also do decent pub grub

Had roast lamb Goodness best roast I've had. Really good value for money. Wonderful atmosphere especially as I was meeting with a dear dear friend. Thank you for your hospitality.

Busier this visit, a popular place, and that was before happy hour! Can't rate food as didn't have any, though people next to us thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Nice atmosphere, friendly welcoming staff, good service, and a great pint of Proper Job 👍🏻

A nice comfortable town centre pub..

Only dropped in for a drink whilst my wife and daughter were shopping in Totnes. A nice pint of Jail Ale. Friendly staff. An area of the bar has a large display of Beryl Cook prints on the walls.

A lively bustling pub with great food. Also .. beer.

Fabulous Sunday roast. Highly recommended. Compliments to the chefs.

Great pub for live music. The food is good too. Not amazing but one of the best value pub meals in Totnes. The staff are friendly too so it's well worth a visit

Absolutely brilliant roast lunch. Served every day. Always try to go there when in Totnes.

What a gem. After walking out of two cafes that couldn't provide us with lunch because they've ran out of gluten-free bread or jacket potatoes, we saw the tasty looking menu outside and walked in. Greeted by a friendly bar man who provided a table, and we ended up having an absolutely delicious meal!! Really generous portions, and we didn't have to wait too long either. Best beef chilli I've eaten in a long time, and mother said it was the best kedgeree she's ever eaten. Very glad to stumble across this pub. Will be back when next in the area.

What a find this lovely pub is. I had a most excellent beef roast that came really quickly. Will definitely come again when in Totnes.

Centrally located, this pub is lovely, and has a great selection of drinks and, in my view, a great menu. I had the ‘small’ choice of roast dinner, and it was delicious and a very generous portion. My husband really enjoyed his fish selection as well. We had beer and wine, which was also excellent. The service was efficient and welcoming, and we had a wonderful time. I would wholeheartedly recommend this pub.

Busy busy but squeezed in by Landlord and welcomed . Food was good, great time was had by all

A lovely traditional pub, offering a warm welcome and a delicious roast pork lunch. 😋

Amazing place in Totnes for a roast dinner. We go at least once a month and it’s brilliant. Great staff, nice atmosphere and a fair price! If you’re looking for somewhere in Totnes for great food, music and even a place to stay you need to visit The King William!

Nice place, friendly atmosphere, excellent kedgeree. Arrive hungry as it's huge! Of the four meals we had in Totnes this was by far the best. White wine offering was disappointing, but Jail beer was good.

Excellent steaks cook it yourself on a hot stone. Lovely roast with fresh vegetables. Friendly people and reasonably priced. We go there to eat very often, worth the drive from Torquay. Best place we have found in the area.

Myself and 3 friends arrived at lunchtime for a beer but after looking at the menu we decided to stay and have a meal, I had the steak pie and mash and two friends had roast pork and another friend had steak pie and chips, the food was absolutely gorgeous, the service was excellent, we were really looked after so we shall go there the next time we visit Totnes.

Again the food is excellent one fishermen’s pie and a chicken salad wow . Great value for money and the best ingredients make for the very best meal . Well done . Love it

A buzzing town pub with great service and a great menu of fabulous choices. I had fish pie which was full of fish and prawns and a lovely cheesy mash topping the best I have had in a long time 😍 the fajitas were also extremely tasty and all just great 👍

Prompt food service. Quality genuinely home cooked food. Will certainly return. Rather basic decoration but good and honest. Better than expensive show off type of pub.

Lovely food, good service . Very popular pub.

We went in for Sunday lunch, the food was excellent, cooked to perfection and extremely well priced, and plenty of it!

We stopped off for Sunday lunch, the food was excellent and extremely good value, everything cooked to perfection.

Just had a fantastic Sunday roast (lamb and pork), super cooking, great selection......roast parsnips to die for. Nice beer and atmosphere, what a find.

Very friendly and welcoming pub. Food was excellent and good value.

We always pop into the pub every time they have the totnes market . Food is superb. A roast dinner for £11.95 value for money and quality food . Also had a great time with the live music in the pub at Halloween. Well done is a well run pub /restaurant 👍🏻

Ordered a ham and mustard baguette and 2 portions of whitebait with some sharing chips. Food was fantastic, well served and quick. Pleasant environment with good staff service. A comfortable environment to enjoy lunch. Very reasonably priced.

Excellent pub always use it when I'm in Totnes aka narnia

I've read the reviews. 'The best steak pie I've ever had'. So I had to experience it for myself. Well........ It really was the most tasty steak pie I've ever had! If I like my food then I usually scoff it down but I literally savoured every mouthful of this fantastic generous portion of taste sensation! And it wasn't even expensive. Great traditional pub with an absolute hidden gem of a steak pie!

The pub is in a great location, bar staff great, food delicious, the pub has been refurbished & looks great but oh dear they have certainly forgotten about the accommodation upstairs. Thick cobwebs around the walls, no bin to put used teabags etc, hot tap had to be left running for ten minutes before the water got hot. What passed for a clothes rail was rickety & in an awkward position. Very noisy downstairs from 7.00am & when we checked out & asked if we could leave our bags until later we were told no as the cellar was full. They begrudgingly let us leave them upstairs outside Room 1 but their attitude stunk. Won’t be returning to stay & certainly would not recommend.

Best steak pie and chips I've ever had. Absolutely gorgeous.

The food is really tasty and excellent value for money. I had a roast, the lamb was cooked perfectly and the vegetables are fresh. The staff are really friendly.

Great food, great service, and great price. The food is delicious, I’d go as far to say it’s the best in Totnes. The staff and service is amazing, I cannot fault them with anything, very welcoming. All of this is at a good price.

Nice place for a drink Bit rough and ready

Burger was disappointing and dry. Definitely not of the butcher quality stated on the menu. However service and beer was good.

Lovely food at a great price. Never had a bad meal here.

Great to be in a busy traditional pub. Excellent service from the friendly chap behind the bar both Monday & Tuesday. The food was excellent, homemade lasagna & steak pie was really tasty & well presented. Will definitely return when we're next in the area.

I must say that for atmosphere,quality of food, service,and value for money I have not been in a better pub for years,I emplore you to use this pub you will not be disappointed

It's a breath of fresh air to see a proper pub that serves nice classic pub grub. Well worth a visit if your parched or hungry, we can't wait to try the rest of the menu.

The staff were so friendly, helpful and the location in town was great. Right in the middle of the high street with loads of great unique shops and restaurants. Accomodation very worn, bathroom needs refurbing, lots of cobwebs, the bed and pillows were very uncomfortable,...

One of the best sunday roasts I've had, delicious beef and trimmings. Great price and wonderful service too

Bar tender seemed like he had enough, not engaging, asked if the roast could have two meats, no, asked if I could pay extra, no. Cutlery thrown on the table no interaction, I've worked customer service and I get he's all on his own but after trying to interact there was no middle ground. The guy in the weist coat that came out after 10/10 great guy, he was switched on and ran a good service. Roast was incredible, my friend that doesn't eat sides very often are everything. Roast comes in top 3 behind the Old Rydon and then the Hare and Hounds.

Just a pub, ladies toilet needs refurbishing

Great food, great pub, at a reasonable price with wonderful staff

Visited Totnes for the first time. What an absolute gem of a high street! Needed a decent lunch after walking up and down the steep hills. Walked into this lovely pub and was immediately greeted by a lovely bartender who served us drinks while we...

Lovely pub - good beer, Excellent food and very friendly, helpful staff. Love to go here whenever I can.

Made to feel very welcome, thank you to Jake

Wonderful pub Wonderful service Wonderful food Walked in during a Rugby game, given a table and a fabulous greeting immediately. Had a great meal with my teenage daughters. Loved it we all did ! Couldn’t fault it one bit !! Thanks

Full marks without any ifs and buts. Fantastic kitchen. Great taste experiences. Outstanding value for money. Just as outstanding as the main courses are the desserts, for which there is a separate menu. The menu is very varied and offers much more than just the standards. Congratulations to the team for the great overall result.

The service was amazing! very speedy! They were friendly and well organised, and the food portions were very respectful. Decent prices too! Highly recommend!!

Nice comfortable pub on the corner of a busy street. Friendly bartender. Good cask-conditioned ales.

Absolutely blown away. The quality of the food, drinks and service has been incredible. Highly recommend visiting if you’re in the area.

A halfway house for those climbing the steep hill, great range of real ales served, an attractive curved frontage to the pub is unusual.

A lovely pub and hotel, very nice clean and functional rooms with good value for money. Friendly atmosphere and service. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful breakfast with fried potatoes!! Service was quick, the staff helpful and cheerful, it was busy but didn't have to wait long for food or drinks, partner had a steak sandwich that came with chips and a lovely salad very reasonably priced.

Great service. Lovely food. Will be back

Every member of our party was really pleased with their meal, all homemade and tasted amazing. Staff were lovely and friendly too. Definitely would recommend to anyone visiting totnes

Top notch food. Every meal we ordered was amazing, I’ve never felt so full eating a sandwich! Beef and horseradish baguette with chips, homemade beef chilli and rice, chicken fajitas and a roast beef all came out timely and no complaints from my family who...

Quaint pub in a great location, bonus right?… I was greeted by the most unfriendly of barmen, the elder of the 2 on that day; what a welcome?! And then followed by a mixed bag of food, some good some bad. Not worth a re-visit,...

What an amazing venue. First of all the staff are brilliant, very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The food is excellent, all of my party had something different and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals, the best of our holiday, and the mess as is we’re worth every penny, the prices are very reasonable. Nice rang of drinks and an amazing atmosphere, I would happily return if I’m ever in totnes.

Nicely cooked food .Good service.Will use the king William again
