I hope the landlord has taken note and at this moment is trawling the River Mole for stray Cornish Crab desperate to get between ‘Poorpubs’ discerning molars which obviously cannot function properly unless the produce is born bred and poached in Surrey! Fresh dressed Cornish Crab Salad on the terrific sunny terrace at the King William is a regular treat I always look forward to when summer arrives in the Surrey Hills. We added another treat to our fixtures list last year too when later on in the summer we enjoyed two fabulous enormous fillet steaks with all the trimmings (for us) at an unbeatable (and unbelievable) price (we had to check the bill several times because we felt it was far too low) and hearty flavoursome home made burgers for our nephews all accompanied by live Jazz on the Terrace during a spectacular sunset and washed down with a wonderful Fleurie recommended by the Landlord. (Who we have discovered enjoys choosing great wine for his customers when he gets the chance and if you manage to nab him he sometimes has a special selection reserved in the cellar). Don't tell everyone! We made a bee-line for the Mickleham Downs today to sit in the dazzling sunshine with perfect dressed Crab and Sancerre chilled to perfection for lunch, and I can tell you it was bliss! We rushed onto this site to gush our appreciation so as to encourage people to use the opportunity to climb (it's a low incline so you can keep your high heels on if you wish) up into the Surrey Hills and enjoy the wonderful views from this little gem of a pub, especially at this at this time of the year. (We think the stunning scenery is at its best in May when all the new foliage is in first bloom). When the weather is like this it is a difficult sun-spot to beat for dining al fresco anyway, apart from the panoramic views. Enjoy a well-deserved treat, especially after we all nearly drowned during the drought!! ATB Henry x henry008 - 24 May 2012 18:32 |
| V poor service/ indifferent landlord/poor food. we visited this pub today with our children. I had crab and was very disappointed. It was full of bits (crap shell, cartilage). I mentioned this to the young man and asked him to tell the landlord. There was no response, so i asked the young man what was said. The landlord said 'they come from an outside supplier' ie, not my fault. So much for home cooked food! I was annoyed by their attiude of complete indifference. The desserts were £5 each and were very disappointing. Probably worth about £2. All in all, very poor food and extremely poor service. poorpub2012 - 19 May 2012 15:10 |
| I love this pub. At this time of the year it really starts coming into its own. The fires and the cosy atmosphere in the winter are great too but sitting on the sun trap terrace in Spring with a pint and a pie looking out at super views of the hills and the Mole Valley is an experience to savour as the pub is perched up on a hill overlooking wonderful scenery. I agree with the previous post the fresh dressed crab salad (which they seem to run every summer by demand) goes down very well on a warm sunny day and their steaks are large and juicy with fresh veg and potatoes and sauce included in the price unlike everywhere else where they rip you off for extras. henry008 - 20 Apr 2012 23:16 |
| The King William IV was recommended to us by our new neighbours, so we thought we'd give it a try last Sunday. It was a lovely sunny day and we sat out in the garden. The views were absolutely incredible and the atmosphere was nice and friendly. I had a fillet steak and my wife had the crab, and both were excellent. We tried a little of each others and were equally impressed with each others meals. Excellent food. It was quite busy but the bar staff were friendly and helpful. All in all, we had a lovely time and we're definitely going to visit again very soon. Highly recommended. christopherP - 8 Apr 2012 22:23 |
| I would review this pub, but as they had decided to close for the day when I turned up on Sunday, I can't. No wonder so many pubs are closing when they can't even be bothered to open the doors. BarrySW19 - 27 Mar 2012 20:53 |
