The King William

Reviews

• Pricey, but great food!

  This pub does not offer your typical burger and steak, it's menu is not like your avergage pub (pigeon). The prices refect this and are a bit pricey, but if you want good food it is highly recommend!

• A fine pub

  Pretty much everything you could want from a gastro-pub (that is still definitively a pub not a restaurant). It's one of the reasons to live in Bath.

• Proper Gastropub

  The King William is a proper Gastropub, not one of the ghastly bandwagon jumping kind that you find so many of.I'm going to start with the beer. The cellar is well kept and the real ales are local and change regularly. Time is spent making sure that the beer is well kept and is served properly.The ambiance has the feel of a local pub downstairs and of a comfortable restaurant upstairs in the dining room. The whole pub feels friendly, welcoming and homely but without it being overpoweringly so. Ther are modern twists to the decor and the music is varied and often ecelctic. It is boho but a bit middle class.The food is the jewel in the crown. The chef is fastidious about sourcing local in season ingredients, and the menu reflects that. To some it may be a challenging menu with starters like sweetbreads or brawn. For most the challenge is choosing between all of the things they really want to try as everything looks appealing. This really is worth a try if you find yourselves in Bath, and the triple cooked goose fat chips with homemade mayo are even better than they sound.

• Long live the King Willy !

  Haven't been there for many years, but remember the King Willy with great fondness. Everyone friendly; excellent beer, and a lunatic behind the bar called Graham Whitfield, who may still be heard on a Friday evening!
