Discover more about King William IV
A community pub with character
The King William IV sits on Eyre Street as a small, classic British corner pub that favours an intimate, informal feel. Inside you'll find close‑set tables, a polished wooden bar and detailing that nods to a traditional pub interior; the scale of the room encourages conversation and a convivial mood, while a modest terrace offers a breath of air on warmer days.What’s on the bar and plate
The pub is known for a frequently rotated range of real ales alongside popular bottled and draught options, balanced by a short menu built around hearty pub dishes and stone‑baked pizzas. The offering leans toward straightforward, well‑cooked favourites rather than elaborate gastronomy, making it a reliable choice for a satisfying meal with a pint.Local rhythm and social style
This is a neighbourhood meeting place rather than a destination venue: regulars often mingle with visitors, and staff tending the bar aim for warm, personable service. Dogs are welcome, and the relaxed policies and layout mean the pub functions comfortably as an everyday social hub — a spot for after‑work drinks, low‑key weekend dinners or a casual solo pint.Atmosphere across day and night
At midday the pub reads as easygoing and accessible, with lunchtime trade and relaxed chatter; evenings bring a cozier, busier energy as the lights dim and groups gather. Background noises are typical for a small pub — clinking glasses, low conversation and occasional laughter — creating an intimate audio backdrop rather than a lively loudroom.Notable practicalities
The venue’s compact footprint means seating can fill quickly at peak times; the terrace provides additional capacity in fair weather. Accessibility is typical of older pubs: expect a few steps or narrow passages in parts of the interior. Service is friendly and ambulant, with staff able to advise on beers and menu highlights.The local fit
The King William IV sits comfortably within its residential setting, offering a straightforward and dependable pub experience. It’s a place that prioritises honest drinks, simple food and sociable company over trends or fine dining — the kind of pub that feels like a small but steady thread in the fabric of the neighbourhood.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
