Description
The William – Kensal Rise’s neighbourhood pub with room to celebrate
Set on Harrow Road, The William is a handsome gastropub with 15 boutique hotel rooms upstairs and a suite of flexible spaces for every kind of get-together — from relaxed birthdays and baby showers to team socials, brand launches, wakes and intimate weddings.
-
The Clarence Room – a fully private bar with its own entrance, loos and direct garden access. Bright, airy and totally self-contained; perfect for standing receptions, canapé parties or seated dinners. Plug in your playlist (Sonos), bring a DJ, or keep it low-key — it’s your room.
-
The Nelson Room – a cosy semi-private space beside the main bar for smaller dos, tastings or family lunches.
-
The Garden – a leafy, heated hideaway for summer sessions and al fresco celebrations.
-
Full Venue Hire – take over the pub for the night; late options by arrangement.
Our kitchen serves seasonal, crowd-pleasing menus — from sharing feasts and festive buffets to smart three-course dining — with thoughtful drinks to match (craft beer, cocktails, low & no). And when the party winds down, guests can roll upstairs and stay the night.
You’ll get a friendly, switched-on events team, clear minimum spends, and simple pre-order options to keep planning easy.
