King William IV Pub

The King William IV offers the chance to enjoy a modern pub experience in one of Kempston’s most historic buildings. The Grade II-listed building dates from around 1600 and is one of the older surviving buildings in the area, giving the pub plenty of character and a genuine connection to Kempston’s past.

Food is a big part of the offering, with a menu centred around traditional British pub favourites alongside seasonal dishes, hearty Sunday roasts and options for children. There are also weekend breakfasts and lighter lunch menus, making it suitable for everything from a quick daytime meal to a relaxed family dinner.

The pub also has a large rear garden, with plenty of seating, garden huts and space for children to play. It’s a particularly appealing option during the warmer months, whether you’re enjoying a meal outdoors, meeting friends for a drink or bringing the family along. Dogs are welcome too.

For a more lively visit, The King William shows live sport across its TVs and has dedicated areas for watching matches. Regular food and drink offers, including weekday deals and Sunday roast promotions, also make it an attractive choice for a relaxed and good-value pub visit.

With its combination of historic character, traditional food, local beer, family-friendly facilities and a spacious garden, The King William IV is a strong choice for anyone looking for a classic Bedfordshire pub experience just outside Bedford town centre.
