The King William IV, Mickleham
My wife daughter and I had lunch at the King William on Sunday and were very pleased with this delightful little pub.
We booked an early table for 12:30 and parking wasn't a problem. The slightly reduced Sunday menu still provided enough choice to make deciding difficult but I opted for the dressed crab and my wife had the roast beef and all the trimmings. There is no child's menu but the staff were very accommodating for my 18 month old daughter and prepared a childs size ham ploughmans.
The food service was a little slow, but this was forgivable given the very small kitchen space and that we weren't really in a rush. The quality of the food was very good; a reasonably sized crab served with sufficient slices of brown bread and a tasty seafood sauce and a generous helping of roast beef with two delicious Yorkshire puddings. A few more vegetables and potatoes would have filled out the plate a little but the portion wasn't miserly.
The choice of ales was good with Sharp's Doom Bar and Alton's Pride but unfortunately the Hog's Back TEA was off.
The bill came to just under �40 which is more than you would pay for regular pub grub but the high quality of the food and charming location offset the increased cost.
We will definitely visit again and would recommend a visit to the King William IV in Mickleham.

Fantastic location but the food is overpriced in the extreme and dished out by the most sourfaced, miserable woman it has ever been my misfortune to come across in the service industry.
If this pub was anywhere other than by the River Test, it would have gone belly up years ago.

Visited on a very quiet Monday evening but was met with a nice welcome, prompt, friendly service and two pints of good quality Guinness.
We decided to eat here and we were both very happy with our burger and chips. Mine was the best tasting pub burger I have had in a very long time, cooked well a good meaty flavour, well cooked bacon and just the right amount of cheese.
