By now you should know we have a wonderful garden at the William IV.

But if you don't:
We called it Dorothy's gin garden in memory of Dorothea Jordan the companion for 20 years of Duke of Clarence and future King William IV.

Join us this bank holiday Monday we'll be serving gins and cocktails.

Chef Greg back once again, sorry for the hiatus, I've been creating an exciting, seasonal reopening menu for you all! (Which I'll be finalising and posting here next week!)

It may contain some of this tender, sweet and beautiful forced rhubarb. Normally it would be close to end of season but I can't stand to spend another year with out it and so we're using some tricks to preserve that beautiful, unique rhubarb flavour for as long as possible! See you in 16 days!

One year ! One year ago we had to close and altho

One year !

One year ago we had to close and although it was "for the foreseeable future” nobody expected it would last for so long.

Lot of people have been badly impacted of course on a personal level and our thoughts are with all our friends who had to endure sickness and losses of loved ones.

Independent businesses like us have been suffering a lot and the struggle although only material is real.

The whole Hospitality industry obviously is badly hit and as a young business we were no exception.
The William IV has been a landmark in the area for centuries and known by most local residents but bringing it back to life and up to current standard did take some time and effort.

2020 was full of promises, we were just finding our feet and getting ready to spread our wings and welcome customers in the garden for the spring.

Instead of welcoming customers we delivered them wine boxes, provided “emergency" Negroni and spritz, helped with gift for neighbours, cooked roasts to take away, fired the barbecue up, became covid compliant and closed again.

We also got to know our neighbours better and have been moved by the support received by @parlouruk @chine.kensalrise @pichicafe @lechouxlondon @kensalqueenspark and so many others.

The time and energy invested has not been wasted and we are very much looking forward welcoming you all from 12th April in our garden. (17th of may in the pub).

One month !
Our garden will open on the 12th of April at 12. We are beyond excited to open our doors and welcome you at all at the back of the pub in our wonderful garden. 🌴

Bookings are now open so head to our website (link in bio) to secure a table.
Email us at hello@williamiv.london if you have any questions.

We’ll of course also have some spaces for walk-in drinkers 🍻

Cant wait ! 🌞

Chef Greg here!

I'm going to start posting photos every week, just showing off some of the super seasonal veg we'll have on the menu when we reopen.

This beautiful, geometric vegetable is Romanesco broccoli! It's full of vitamins, fibre and maths. Fractal geometry, fibonacci numbers, it's a mathematical marvel and a taste sensation. If you can get your hands on some, it's an absolute treat and a great way to brighten up a plate. The spring crop is just coming into peak seasonality now and you can expect to see it in our taco selection when we reopen next month! 36 DAYS!!!

Chef Greg back again!

The end is nigh, and we're all ready for it! We've got some great plans for the outdoor menu, and couldn't be more excited for all of your feedback. It's already felt like a long year and somehow it's not even March yet, but we at the William couldn't be more pumped to invite you back into our establishment (even if it's just in the garden!) This is going to be a vital time for us to get back to a running start, so if you love good food, good drinks, and good times, we'd love to see you!

Pictured is a layered vanilla posset with lemon curd, blueberry compote and pistachio praline, shoot me a message if you want the recipe!
