The William Morris is a delightful pub that offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed drink or a hearty meal. The staff are consistently friendly and attentive, making you feel welcome from the moment you step inside. The pub's menu offers a good selection of classic pub fare, all prepared to a high standard and at reasonable prices. The fish and chips are particularly noteworthy, with crispy batter and flaky fish. The real ales are well-kept, and the wine list offers a decent selection for those who prefer a glass of something more refined. The pub's interior is cozy and…

We held our post-wedding celebration at the William Morris and couldn't be happier with how it went! From the outset, the venue was very accommodating and Nat (in charge of events) was incredibly helpful. On the day, the staff were happy to help with all sorts of requests and the food was served promptly - not an easy task when catering for 40 people. I would highly recommend this venue for larger events and we really can't thank you enough!

We booked the William Morris for our wedding party for 75 people and had the most incredible experience. Through the planning process Nat made us feel totally at ease and was very flexible to all our requests. On the day the room looked beautiful and the staff behind the bar and clearing drinks/running food were all so friendly. The service was excellent and the food we ordered was really tasty. The next day the team had very kindly already started clearing away our decorations which made collection super easy. I could not more highly recommend to the William Morris for anyone looking for a…

Thoroughly recommend this pub for an event. Had my seventieth birthday there. They fed the five thousand and left no stone unturned in ensuring we had a great afternoon. Moving tables, clearing up promptly and being quietly efficient bar staff all added to the occasion. Lovely venue by the river too.

It was supposed to be a starter for 2-4 people. Very modest portion, very fatty, for thirty pounds??!! The garden was neglected, the tables were dirty and not washed since the previous day, I was there just after opening after twelve. Zero service. Clearly lacking a good manager. After this dish I didn't feel like eating anything else. I don't recommend it.
