This authentic English pub charms diners with its period interior, polished paneling, ancient beams and great ales. The King William‘s outstanding food has made this pub a firm Bath favourite. Expert cooking and an historic atmosphere, the 24-hour roasted pork is one of the menu’s particular highlights. Expect generous portions of hearty pub classics.
