King William Iv

Popped in here for a quick pint and to see of they were showing the football.
They have 4 TV screens in there and split what they are showing to please the various requests, which is a nice touch.
The pint was a really good pint actually. The barmaid was really friendly and smiley, which was nice.
You do get the impression that it is very much where locals go, but that is to be expected since it is located in the village of Shenley.
They also had a pool table, which was a £1 a game, so that was fine.
Outside there is a garden area and also some picnic tables, some with just umbrellas and others with see through windshields around them.
I want to love the place, but is does look a bit grubby on the inside which is a real shame. I think a lick of paint, less freebie posters stuck up on every available piece of wall, and the carpets cleaned and it would change the entire experience. They did say outside that they do food, but inside there were no menus visible, and actually by looking around the pub, I didn’t feel encouraged that I wanted to eat there.
I will go back, more than likely for a quiet pint with the Boyff when the football is on.
Nice bunch of people in there though.
