King William Iv - Guildford

First visit since the reopening. All good, food, service and ambience. Only one moan no Katsu Curry

I was very pleased to find that the King William IV has re-opened, under new ownership presumably but the premises have not changed a lot and the menu has a few more of the good-value lunches that we enjoy. My wife had a generous bacon and brie baguette, happily free from ingredients you would never add at home. I enjoyed a jacket potato with chill con carne, fast food perhaps but nothing wrong with it and with a fresh home made salad on the side. Service was friendly and the covered patio rather pleasant in the good weather, though there was an inevitable wasp that we could have avoided by eating inside.

Came here for Sunday roast with my husband and another couple. The only mains on offer were four Sunday roast options fair enough. Staff were all really friendly and service was prompt. The food was not the best Sunday roast I have had, to be honest. I had the chicken, which although tasty was on the dry side. The others had beef which was very good, generously cut with thick slices, although one of the others in the group was given the end of the joint slice, which was burnt, and my husband said that the beef itself was not that tasty. The potatoes were ok but nothing special (I think my own roasties are better to be honest); the Yorkshires were underdone and not properly risen at all and the veg was ok but again nothing brilliant. Most of us had the sticky toffee pudding for dessert and that WAS good!

Great place was supposed to go to the place next door but it was closed food was fabulous and the service was amazing.

Amazing night at the Grand reopening!, friendly atmosphere and staff, brilliant children’s area, very comfortable outside decking space.
