Nestled in the heart of London’s vibrant N1 district, the William IV is much more than your typical pub. Located on Shepherdess Walk, this upmarket gem effortlessly blends its historic charm with a contemporary twist, offering a stunning architectural backdrop that sets the stage for an exceptional dining experience.
Step inside, and you’ll find yourself drawn to The Dining Room, an elegant space where the focus is firmly on flavour and quality. With high ceilings, tasteful decor, and an inviting yet sophisticated ambiance, the restaurant is the perfect spot for a relaxed lunch, an indulgent dinner, or a special celebration.
Under the expert guidance of chef Mike Harrington, The Dining Room presents a menu that celebrates the very best of British cuisine. With an ever-changing lineup of dishes, the focus is on fresh, seasonal ingredients from trusted suppliers. Seafood is sourced daily from Brixham Market through Wright Brothers, while heritage meats arrive from Swaledale Butchers in the Yorkshire Dales.
Begin your culinary journey with the Guinness glazed beef short rib, served with silky mashed potatoes and tender baby carrots - a rich, hearty plate that’s perfect for colder evenings. Seafood lovers will adore the plaice with tarragon sauce, elevated by dill oil, samphire, and buttery new potatoes. For a plant-forward option, the celeriac and pearl barley risotto with earthy black garlic is an unmissable delight.
Pair your main with one of the expertly prepared sides, such as sautéed leeks in parsley vinaigrette or the ever-popular triple-cooked chips. Round off your meal with a classic sticky toffee pudding served with creamy vanilla ice cream, or try the zesty orange syrup cake with crème fraîche for a lighter finish. With its seamless blend of timeless architecture, impeccable dishes, and a prime location, the William IV’s Dining Room delivers an upscale dining experience that is rooted in British culinary tradition while remaining refreshingly contemporary.
