Excellent beer, excellent pub. Has improved lots since my last visit. The Brodies Porter was exceptional, and the ESB was just as good. Will be going back here to try more of the brodies range.

Paid my first visit since they started brewing their own beer - Brodies. Had tried the beer before so was looking forward to it. However, this place surpassed my expectations. Where do I start? Great atmosphere, friendly locals, very nice Thai and English food. The beer? superb the mild was terrific as was the red and the 7.1% porter was so good it was dangerous! They had guest ales on too including a bitter from Pitfield. If that wasn't good enough they had a load of their bottle conditioned beer in the fridge - some of which is now in my Fridge! A decent old style jazz band in the corner added to the evening. The fact that one of the owners took the time to have a chat to me and my mate, both a little worse for wear just topped the evening off.

Great pub, deserves to do well and on last nights evidence it is!

i live local to this pub and used to go to the drum mainly.once the william started brewing their oen beers and reduced it too 1.99 started to come in more often...
excellent brews brodied brewed behind the pub. (my fave is wit closely followed by sunshine..)if youre lucky you mi9ght see one of the brewers popping inot the pub for a light refreshment..
while im on i must mention the excellent staff..especially the oriental guy..
If youre used to weatherspoons staff then this guy is a revelation..he serves 3 people at once and he seems to have an uncanny knack of knowing who came to the bar and when..top man...also the ladies behind the bar are lovely too...lol
real mixture of customers its a very nice place all round......

Excellent pub. Has many original features including a most fantastic bar. Beer is Brodies, brewed on the premises, quite stunning, and only £1.99 a pint. If I lived nearby I'd be here every night. Has piped music, but not intrusive when I visited, as such a large space - better without it though. Jazz night once a month. It's a 10.

A Friday night visit to the William IV which is just off the Lea Bridge Road at Bakers Arms. Met a friend from Leytonstone there, locked our bikes up on the convenient bike stand right outside the side window. Lovely big plate glass windows give a clear view inside and make the outside appearance quite inviting. Pub was busy towards to rear with many tables ordering the Thai food. There was a dedicated waitress serving them all evening. We started on the Brodies Best but found it a little bitter. Moved to the Brodies IPA which was very decent indeed and we stuck to it. Bar staff attentive and pleasant. Fairly eclectic mix of clientele but all either friendly or inoffensive. Quirky locals using the dartboard too.
We'll definately be back at the William IV as soon as our lives will allow.
