The King William reopened in 2023 under Wells & Co management following a total major refurbishment which has totally transformed the pub adding to the olde worlde charm and giving it all the facilities you would expect of a contemporary Managed Pub.
The King Bill dates back to the 1600s, making it one of the oldest buildings in Kempston and something of a local institution, attracting a loyal local crowd from Kempston as well as regular visitors from nearby Bedford and Milton Keynes. With a reputation built upon wholesome quality pub food, the King William is renowned for its warm welcome and enticing environment, not to mention its versatility. Grade II listed, flagstone floors, a feature fireplace and spacious garden give it all the charm you'd expect of a delightful country pub.
