The King William IV in Oldham - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The King Bill is somewhere I have started going for a little break from the world most Wednesday nights we pop up for a few drinks to break up the working week. The company is great and it’s proper Pub with nice people. The Salt & pepper Chicken needs is own review and honestly it was “Well Fit”. It’s hard to sum up in works but it’s just a very good pub , run by lovely people, giving back to the community with great staff and food. Highly Recommended

My wife and 2 children ate here today, we're on holiday in the area and had booked in advance as we weren't sure how busy it would be, although it didn't seem to be necessary. The day before they messages to say the kitchen would be open slightly later due to unforeseen circumstances, and asked if it was it OK to adjust our booking? This was fine with us and appreciated rather than turning up on the day to find out. There were only 2 parking spaces as like many pubs they've clearly had to make use of the car park space due to COVID, so if possible better to walk here. Staff were all very friendly and on request also provided a high chair for our 8 month old. Food was nice, not gastropub (and I don't think they are trying to be), but classic home made pub grub at very reasonable prices. We were slightly disappointed that there was no Sunday lunch menu on offer, but can understand under current circumstances the need to offer a more limited menu.

came here as part of our regular pub crawl and outing after being in the clarence and donkeystone there was a variety of tapas on offer 3 for 10 pounds, nine of had decided to choose a tapas each and I also had a nice steak burger with chips. the tapas had a choice of about 13 dishes with a good variety including ribs, chicken , I had the chilli and garlic mushrooms the burger was nice although seemed a bit small in size and this dish was about £8, the place came recommended from some of the lads who had been before and I would come here again and some other pubs including the kingfisher nearby

Called in for drinks and watching the food leave the kitchen it was an easy decision to stay for dinner! Sunday dinner was superb and great value.

This place never fails to impress. There is plenty of choice on the menu and the food is always excellent. They always have a specials board which is changed frequently. The prices are reasonable. You won’t regret eating here.

Popped in for lunch. Great Sandwiches. The fish finger sandwich was made of 4 small battered cods, it was huge. The cajun chicken sandwich was also huge. Fresh chunky chips. The staff were really friendly. Great food. Would definitely go again and recommend. Great pub even if you just want a drink.

What a welcoming and well run pub! We enjoyed a lovely meal during the rush cart weekend and will certainly be back. We like your interesting and varied menu. So many pubs are too predictable. Your’s offers a great choice for vegetarians too. Thank you for such a warm welcome. Four friends from Essex.

Myself and my family came here for tea after a long walk with the dog, this was our second visit to this pub and just like the first time we were blown away. I was starving and ordered the creamy Cajun chicken baguette and oh my god, was it amazing! The sauce was out of this world and I left my compliments for the chef! Amazing staff, great atmosphere and fantastic food, we will be coming again! 👍🏽

Went in here for an early dinner on my last night in Manchester and ordered the cheese and onion pie with chips. I received a small individual pie and not a slice and it was freshly cooked and delicious, best one I had during my holiday. Drink prices were also very good.

Top sports on the telly, we watched the ashes and footie but unfortunately the pre booked table had minimal room to manoeuvre. That being said the scran was decent, my chicken was abit dry but my own fault not asking for some gravy. Would recommend again!

Great Food! Would definitely come again & recommend. Chorizo meatballs were yum! Only feedback is they forgot our wings and when we went to cancel (finished & full from the rest of our food) they brought them out.

We were walking through Greenfield and called on Saturday afternoon. It was busy but we found a table. Plenty of TVs showing sports. Good selection of drinks and got talking to the friendly locals which made for a good stop off for us

Although we’re local, we’d not eaten here before. The Wellington was full so we tried here at 6pm on a Friday. The menu looked really great, especially for vegetarians and some interesting choices for everyone else. The problem was the wait. 55 mins from placing our order, with no warning of this. The cheese and onion pie was fantastic, and the falafels. We ordered fries but got chips, as a side, but they were good and home cooked.

Called in for a bite to eat on Sunday. I had the cheese n onion pie and chips and my husband had a burger. I can hands down say it was the best cheese n onion pie I have ever had and the chips were homemade. Husband enjoyed his burger too. Try this place, you wont be disappointed.

Friendly staff, nice owners, always see a familiar face. the food is delicious and there is a great atmosphere. wouldn't recommend going in if you want a nice quite meal when the footys on (especially Man City or Man United). I lav it!

Wow amazing staff fresh and lovely food been here 3 times staff always helpful and food is amazing keep up the good work i will see you soon

I’ve been for a 2 course meal today. Firstly the Mushroom soup was to die for and the warm fresh bread was delicious. I went for the roast beef diner and was amazed at the concoction of vegetables on the plate everything cooked to perfection.

Went for Sunday dinner.place was very busy as big football game on TV. Table had been reserved but no staff to take order. 4 deep at the bar! Have to buy bottle of wine to get anything decent or Pinot Grigio on tap

The staff were lovely tried their best waited 2 hours for food. Club sandwich and turns out no bread Thai curry that had no sauce as they run out and a burger that was rare! Not the staffs fault but don’t recommend

Came in for a drink late evening along with my girlfriend . Food was lovely and cider was delicious . Lovely friendly pub 💜 I’m new to the area and it’s a lovely pub with lovely staff .

Great pub which is dog friendly, lovely food,and great staff. Always a good pint. Good fun landlord and landlady.

Lovely village pub which is pet friendly and has welcoming staff. The food is great. I had the steak with chillie and lime which was delicious. Well worth a visit.

Great food , lovely service, tasty vegan options, we came back the day after for Sunday Lunch , just as good, The chef should be proud of his /her attention to a great menu, been to posher gaffs and not had food this good , Cosy friendly country boozer, well worth the visit .

Popped in for a bit to eat .very friendly pub and the bait was lovely too.pet friendly and with sky sports in bar and in the side room if you wanted to watch a bit footy with your food.

Decided to go out for a meal with the family tonight and was impressed with everything especially the service, meals were really good too!!

We were in Greenfield for the Whit Friday, Brass Band Contests, and found this little gem of a place to eat and have a drink. The Pub/Restaurant is dog friendly , and the staff were all very welcoming. The Pub is ideally situated near to the contest area, for the brass bands, and provided wonderful meals during our stay, all very tasty and arrived shortly after being ordered. We will certainly go back to this place again.

We used this pub during a recent trip to Saddleworth. Everyone was very friendly and the service was excellent. Serves good pub grub, real ale and is dog friendly.

The family and myself visited The King William for a meal, we booked beforehand for 5 adults and a young child who will require a highchair. We received a very kind and smiley welcome from the staff the showed us to our table, the table was all set up for us to dine also with a night chair put up prepared. We notice that you had to order food at the bar but one of the staff members looked after us really well and provided a table service for food and drinks. The food was spectacular everyone really enjoyed it the children's meal was the perfect size of not to much as to what is expected of a child's meal. There is a lot to choose from even a veggie option! They provide so much variety from starter, mains, sides to what chips you would like with your meal. Overall it was a fantastic experience and will definitely be coming back the fun bar was phenomenal so many to choose from and if your a ale drinker like my partner you'll love the cart ale selction, local brewery option!

all I’ve got to say is amazing. Food was delicious but stuffing , the price was good, the waitress had amazing customer service and she was a decent sight to look at (my mate certainly thought so). The view when looking outside was a sight for sore eyes. Beautiful it was. Definitely go there any other time.

We quite often eat in here and normally really enjoy the food, however they have changed the Burger meat/recipe, and now it's spicy and a bit strange , and it doesn't mention it on the menu. They taste and texture is so different that my grandson wouldn't eat it after the first bite, which was a big disappointment because the " King burger" which they now don't do was amazing.

This is my local so I am biased but a good pub with good choice of real ales, craft lager and spirits. Good food and and a good atmosphere

Went there following a good report from one of our friends and when we arrived it looked like a typical local but once the food arrived it become a very good eating house.

This is our little village pub in the beautiful village of greenfield in saddle worth. We visit frequently, and possibly take it for granted. After our visit this afternoon I felt I should compliment Donna on her warm hosting skills, and the amazing meal we had. The meal was oF a high quality, easily comparable with some of the high end eateries in Manchester. My lamb chops and seasonal veg were first class. I would highly recommend a visit to this amazing little venue.

Called in for a drink and we saw the menu, good value and good service. Really good food. Catered for the dogs too with doggy biscuits!

21 of us booked in for my birthday. The food was amazing. The staff were fantastic. Lovely atmosphere and the locals even sang Happy Birthday to me

We had lunch here on Saturday and while my wife was disappointed it wasn't served with Bloomer bread, as stated...

Called in to watch the match whilst in the area. Staff very accommodating and turned the volume up. Ordered a snack off the menu of home cooked food. Priced ok and tasted nice but took over half and hour to arrive which was disappointing.

Stayed at dovestone holiday park at the weekend just gone and we visited the king william. the food was lovely but the staff made the day we spent in there. a young girl with long blond hair was very chatty, polite and welcoming as was the landlord..the food was really nice so was the gin collection. Booked to go again in december and will definitely be returning with the family

Dined here with family and the food and service was excellent. Booked our table beforehand as it is a very busy pub right in the heart of the village. Excellent car parking area if needed.

Sólo comimos, mejor bistec n Tarta de guinness que he probado en mucho tiempo. Buenas papas fritas caseras. Buena calidad de cerveza de barril. Servicio amable en un ambiente acogedor, sin duda recomendable y sin duda alguna volveremos. Gracias a todo el mundo en el King William.

Visitado por Navidad en los trabajos del partido. El personal es muy educado y la comida es estupenda, así como barato comparado con otros bares de la zona.

En este pub encantador para un almuerzo de domingo, que era muy bueno 12. 00 por tres platos. La carne era excelente! Pub muy concurrido ya que era festivo y el sol era un poco 'servicio lento pero el dios compensa sin duda recomendaría

I ate here with my family early one evening. The menu offers a great choice of meals and the Early Bird menu is absolutely superb!The food arrived promptly and was fresh and delicious. The staff were polite and helpful. They offer a good selection of beer, ales and wines and not too pricey either.If you are after a tasty tea mid week I would definitely recommend this place :-)

Stay No nearby Ina beautiful airbnb, the family recommended this pub...affectionately called the King Bill.We went for drinks and the bar staff are friendly, the drinks are cheap compared to the ridiculous prices we have to pay here in Cambridgeshire!It looks like there has been some reformation and updating in the bar rooms...a pleasant place to have a drink ...had it been warmer we would have sat outside. But thankfully we were able to take our well-behaved doggit with us, inside.

I've lived in and around Greenfield for all of my 64+ years. This pub was my dad's local for as far back as i remember. Until 14 years ago, when the place changed hands and my dad hated it. So we went elsewhere and I havn't been back since, until last night.What a delightful warm welcome I received. I immediately renewed some old aqaintences and easily made new friends.I've been thinking of trying out the "new" King Bill for ages. I just wish I'd done it months ago. It's what a village pub is all about. I'll certainly be back.

Very warm welcome received by staff on a very busy sunny day, Food took a while to come out (about 45 minutes) but was worth the wait. My partner ordered Thai Green Curry with Rice, my eldest ordered veggie burger and the other 3 members of the party ordered the cheese burger and chips, Puddings (again took a good 30 mins to arrive) but were lovely particularly the rhubarb and apple crumble.

really good busy pub at 6-30 found some seats fed and watered at reasonable prices with good wholesome food, not a massive choice but enough of a choice.It wasn't pinged food either.

This is my favourite pub in Saddleworth. Always a friendly welcoming atmosphere with a nice and varied cliental. The food is good and the staff provide excellent service with a smile.There is a nice area to sit outside (weather permitting) and a roaring log fire inside for when it is cold.All in all a great pub.

Title says it all. After twenty minutes the waitress informed us there was no beef for the roast beef baguette. Another 20 minutes later the replacement Cajun chicken arrived.What a shame about the time it took, as the food was absolutely delicious. My partners Caesar salad was plentiful and fresh, and my baguette crunchy and hot. There was very little demand for food, which made our wait a little difficult to understand, and the only reason it didn't get five stars.A decent selection of beers is also an attractive feature of this lovely little pub.

Excellent service. Super food choices. Friendly staff. a roaring fire to banish the winter chills. What more could you ask for....

Called here after a family walk round dovestone very impressed it ticked all the boxes. Dog friendly, nice atmosphere and lovely home cooked food.Fish and chips were excellent as was the homemade steak pudding my daughter orders the chilli nachos, not my thing but I had a taste and they were also excellent. I cant wait for our next walk to sample some other delights from the menu.

I go here a lot it's a Great pub, with Great Staff. The owners are fantastic and so welcoming like all staff to and food is great, it's in a lovely situation with great outdoor space to have a drink/eat would totally recommend it and overall a excellent place

Known locally as the King Bill so if you're in the area and stop to ask for directions, asking for the King Bill will get you there quicker!Brilliant pub for a great relaxed atmosphere and a friendly welcome.Children are made to feel very welcome along with your pets.Roaring fire in the winter months and a lively busy forecourt in warmer weather.The home cooked food is freshly prepared, well presented and always served with a smile. The specials board has great variations from the main menu. Meals are tasty and full of flavour, the burgers are amazing. Fish and chips on a Friday start the weekend off well and their Sunday roast is as good as any I've tasted.Well worth a visit.

Had to wait a while for the food but worth the wait as all home made and enjoyed a few drinks in cosy surroundings with friendly bar staff and management in a lovely country pub which is not a fast food restaurant,, look forward to visiting again .

It's the little things about this dining experience that, when all considered together, made it disappointing. There are so many other choices for food in Saddleworth, I've no need to eat at "the King Bill" again.It took 50 minutes to get half the order, another 15 minutes to get the other half, so my friend and I had to eat separately.The main was poor, steak unevenly cooked, chips dry and hard, mustard for burgers not for steak. If I wasn't hungry from waiting so long for it's arrival, I'd have sent it back and gone elsewhere.The beer was fine.

If you want to go out and have one girl behind the bar fiddling with her hair all the time..... Or other bar staff playing with their phones..... Or if you want to be made to feel like you are not welcome and feel that because your not from round the area and not a 'regular' then you don't fit in to the clique they have created.... Go to this pub..... If you want to go out and have cold food and poorly cooked food.....burnt chips..... raw in the middle of it.... Awfully tasting....Or want to wait for nearly an hour after ordering your food for it to arrive.... Go to this pub..... If you want beer that tastes like the lines haven't been cleaned.... Or you want a dog running in and out of the kitchen where your food is prepared.... Go to this pub..... This has to be one of the most unfriendly, unwelcoming pubs I have ever been too.... The food is awful and the beer is awful. The staff are displeasing and would rather be all over the locals and be on their phones or chatting amongst themselves about their shenanigans (to put it lightly) at the weekend.The locals swear at the bar and have no consideration for anyone else, treating it like their living room. I would strongly advise that people don't go in as I don't want you to be as disappointed as I was!

Food excellent, service great, went for the burger which is a reasonably priced and very nice meal. Good friendly atmosphere and made to feel welcome by staff

Had a very nice Sunday roast and a couple of pints. Proper English pub. Pipkin Dog was welcome and Sat under the table. Friendly place. There is a garden in the front. Lot's of locals use it as a regular. There some "nooks and crannies" inside. It has parking to the rear

Just called in for a quick pint on the way home from Holmfirth. Great beer and very pleasant barmaid. Gave my wife and I a free sample of two of the guest beers before choosing Dobcross bitter. Will be back again before too long.

Called in to "sample" based on the predominantly strong reviews on hereWednesday night and it was fairly quiet - no more than ten people including us and nobody eating at the time we arrived so we asked if they were serving food. They were. Great. Ordered a burger and the lamb hotpot. Five minutes later the waitress advised "no hotpot" so second order changed to the burger. With cheese. Both with caramelised onions. FIFTY MINUTES LATER the food finally arrived. Neither burger had any caramelised onions but we didn't realise until the (very friendly) waitress had gone. Chips were OK - some were undercooked in the middle as they were thicker than others. Burger was ok. Ish. Far from great. Waitress asked if everything was OK - yes but no onions. "I'll tell chef". Two minutes later : "chef knew he'd forgotten the onions but says he'll give you double portions next time". ?!?!? 1) Who wants double portion of onions2) there won't BE a next timeClearly this is a pub that caters for its regulars and the transient custom is irrelevant Shame Girl on the bar was lovely though - the only good part of the experience

Been here a few times, whether watching the football or a family Sunday lunch to drinks on a night out, always great service, friendly staff, good atmosphere and good food. Last trip had a great pulled pork burger and some nachos for a snack followed by the King bill mess.. All very good!

Went here for a birthday, 12 of us all together and the service was excellent and the food was amazing. We stayed in here for the whole day/night and the live band was great too. Would recommend going.

This is my local pub and ticks every box. Friendly and welcoming and with top notch food. There's always a selection of beers on tap and they welcome kids. Plus I only have to wobble home a short distance. Everything about the place is a win. They even show the football!

EPIC... Recommended by a local who I work with and wasn't let down. The gammon steak on the Specials board i had was a nice think slab of meat and the chips were nice home made cut too. Beer on tap isn't bad either. Will be returning for the food and maybe watch a game of football/rugby too :D

This is your local pub and there are not many left, well worth a visit while in Greenfield , surroundings are very pleasant and staff always helpful, nice selection of real ales and made to feel welcome.

I recently called in the King William IV to meet my husband and his son after they'd been out walking. My husband and son were drinking well-kept Dobcross bitter, from the local Greenfield Brewery, which we were told is down the road, less than half a mile away. As his son had to get a train back home, he decided to have something to eat and chose the Thai Green Chicken Curry with rice. Not to be left out, we ordered a portion of onion rings and a portion of salt and pepper chips. The curry was delicious, well flavoured and with lots of sauce and pieces of chicken breast, and the rice was fluffy and fragrant. For my preference I'd have gone a bit spicier but having to cater for different tastes I guess you have to err on the milder side. The onion rings were fantastic, basically because the rings of onion were quite thin and the batter as light as tempura batter, not like the current trend of inch-wide slices of onion in a heavy beer batter, fried until as dark as mahogany. The lady who served us was kind enough to bring me some barbecue sauce to go with them, and they disappeared pretty quickly! The salt and pepper chips were nice and crispy and came with a good sprinkling of fresh coriander which perked them up. The food was excellent value for money and I look forward to trying other dishes on the regular and specials menus. There was a Christmas Day menu on the wall, advertising 'six courses for £39.99', but including the canapés and Prosecco and sorbet I counted eight! I asked about availability and was told it was more or less sold out, and given the quality of the menu I'm not surprised. I've seen far less choice and complexity for considerably more money - the diners on Christmas Day will be truly having a Merry Christmas!The pub has three main rooms, one of which has a real fire in a log burning stove, and on our visit this was lit and gave a wonderful homeliness to the place. A poster in the window tells you that it in included in the 2016 CAMRA Good Beer Guide, and with six real ales on it's hardly surprising.It's well worth a visit!

We went there early on Friday night; in our party were 5 adults and 7 children. We were really well looked after by the staff there. I had a bowl of whitebait to start and they were unbelievably cheap at just £2. I then had a special from the board which was bone in ribeye. I asked for it rare and that is how it came. You are hard pressed to find that cut of meat in high priced steak houses never mind a local pub.Everyone in our group enjoyed their meal and the staff provided jugs of water for the kids, so they weren't constantly asking for fizzy drinks from the bar.The atmosphere was really relaxed and I would recommend it to anyone, as long as you don't order the last steak!

Once more an amazing welcome and meal enjoyed at the King William IV. It is a pleasure to discover a place that not only caters to a restrictive diet but where good food is repeated at every visit. Produce is fresh and menu varied catering for all tastes. Staff very pleasant and welcoming. Thank you once more to the team for an enjoyable visit.

Called for a quick pint after work and stayed for tea for the simple reason the food coming from the kitchen looked so good.Will definitely go again and choose one of the great sounding specials from the Specials Board.Something for everyone prices from £6.00-£9.95 ish.Also a hidden gem for Real Ale types.

First let me say if you don't like standing in a packed pub with a lot of jeering, swearing footy fans give this pub a miss on Man United match days. Secondly if you like to get to the bar to see what beers are available to buy rather than look at the back of the heads of locals who will not move regardless of being asked if they could simply lean over so we could see the beers on offer, don't go to this pub.However once the football is over the pub empties very quickly. We eventually ordered food which was 2 portions of cheese and onion pie, chips and beans, service was prompt and over all the food was OK, very large pieces of pie unfortunately it was just average.

I have eaten here several times. I have very restrictive dietary requirements and they catered for me. I phoned and explained my requirements and the amazing chef made me a special dish. The staff could not be more helpful. The pub is very clean and well cared for. The staff make you very welcome. Overall one of the best places I have ever eaten at.

Called in for impromptu meal, didn't get the friendly welcome others have received according to the reviews, we were pretty much ignored for a long time, we were told three times "we'll be with you in a minute" gave up in the end and when elsewhere. It was busy but it would have been better to give us an idea how long we would have to wait.

The food was good, typical pub grub. Simple menu with prices to match. Ideal for a quick bite to eat with friends, somewhere to watch the football with a burger and a pint.

Had a lovely meal of cheese and onion pie (homemade) and a chicken salad. The pie was huge and really tasty but the mushy peas were tastless. Very good prices. Friendly staff. Only thing we didn't like was they had a Dalmatian walking around the pub, which I don't think should be the case when you are serving food.

Called at this pub with our friends who recommended it, There were five of us just out for the bank holiday Monday having a drive out, Frank my friend was driving. we had called at the rising sun mossley for a drink as frank and I love the real ales. he also brought us to the king Billie, Well what a fantastic Village pub, Great atmosphere I would imagine they were mostly locals but thy made us most welcome. There were five of us, two couples and Brenda`s brother Ken who bless him suffers with very very bad eyesight, he lives in Canada. we were really celebrating Brenda and my wife Lynda`s birthdays on the 2nd and 3rd of may, so this was the grand ending, we had dinner there. Awesome the food is to die for, Real chips all home made,the beers are fabulous a credit all round to everyone. A big thankyou to everyone there if I lived nearer King Billie would be my local,If anyone is in the area or passing Call in you will not be disappointed, I/we will most certainly be back, Thankyou all

Went here for a drink and ended up eating when we saw food plates being brought out. Very impressed with the bar snacks, we had welsh rarebit soliders, which were a tasty generous portion. Can't wait to try to sausage bites and quartered fish finger butty bar snacks, described as modern, retro nibbles. I then had a roast beef dinner, which was the best I've had in a while, everything on the plate fresh and warm. Hubby had a lovely burger with the best homemade onion rings I have ever tasted. I think this will now become a regular eating place for us. Hopefully next time I will have room for a homemade dessert.

Went out to try the new catering at the King bill, and it was very good. The catering is done by a local company called The Little Deerhill Catering Co. They provide a good quality pub menu, all home made with local produce, including the deserts, which is unusual these days. The pub also has a good range of real ales and beer, with two from the local brewery Greenfield which is less than a mile away. This place is an excellent village pub, providing good food and beer at very reasonable prices, supporting the local suppliers.

Loved the King Bill, superb atmosphere and great food, locally sourced and good quality ingredients, Keep it up

Took my sister in for a birthday treat a couple of weeks ago, and the food was fab. Kids loved it too, which is always a good sign :-)

Very much a locals pub but visitors most welcome. Has big screen telly for fanatical and rowdy football viewing. Several real ales on offer and basic pub food served. Can be noisy with young kids especially during nice weather, but we only call in for a pit-stop while out walking in the scenic Saddleworth area.
