Square Meal review of William IV:

Bravely opening in a bleak area of Hoxton dominated by council estates, the William IV is a break from the standard gastropub formula in more than its recherche location. True, some of the chairs have been salvaged from old classrooms, but like the rest of the furniture, they’re painted bright white (co-owner Shaun Clarkson being a top interior designer). The British food is well done; chicken livers on toast, lamb cutlets with roast tomatoes & cod fishcakes with tartare sauce: all were comforting & tasted like proper home cooking, while it was also nice to see specks of vanilla pod in the bread & butter pudding. To drink, there’s a short, under £25 wine list, or pints of Flowers IPA & Black Sheep. A couple of upstairs private rooms (one decorated like a school geography room) are a quirky setting for parties.
