Attractive and lively village hostelry. The interior features a single large L-shaped room, where the low beamed ceiling in the older part contrasts with a high ceiling, with exposed rafters, in the airy, more recently modified section.
Fairly traditional pub food, largely home-cooked.
The Trent & Mersey Canal runs along edge of village, about 300m distant. The National Memorial Arboretum is 1.2km to east (as crow flies; nearer 2.7km by road via A513).
Historic Interest
One report suggests that the building was originally three cottages, converted into pub circa 1837. Confusingly, however, a King William is listed as a beer house in Alrewas in an 1834 gazetteer!
This Pub serves 1 changing beer (From Marston's list) and 2 regular beers.
William IV, Alrewas
