Hey William,....... what's up?


Having previously only ever tried the Tapas at William IV, I was excited to see what the Sunday Lunch had on offer.

Another birthday party saw the group of us enjoying a lovely sunny day in the Dining Room at William. There were some (should we say - negative?) comments on the restricted nature of the menu. We're all for seasonal produce, but if you have a restrictive diet (even by choice) then eating the same foods for starters and mains isn't the most exciting option! On the upside, given the size of the main meals, perhaps it was better that we didn't indulge in the starters!

Interestingly I started to write this entry some weeks ago, just after the meal, but lost interest. One could suggest several, well at least a couple of reasons for this, although I am most inclined to think that perhaps it was a reflection of the food. Not that it was bad, but perhaps more that it was uninspired and mildly uninteresting!

The strongest recommendation would be for the lamb shanks. I'm reliably informed by the one person who had this for their meal that it was delicious and lip smacking could be heard across the room. But otherwise the recommendation would be - go during the week when the tapas is on order! It's fantastic with a wide variety of choices and some fabulous flavours! And of course a glass of bubbly ALWAYS!
