What a morning at our first ever Dog Social! 🐾

There were more Golden Retrievers and Labradors than we could count and, naturally, they all found their way to the river eventually! 💦

Thank you so much to everyone who came along and supported us and The Mayflower Animal Sanctuary. We hope you and your floofs made lots of new friends.

We suspect there’ll be plenty of sleepy dogs this afternoon… which sounds like the perfect excuse for a few hours on the sofa! 🛋️🐶

Next Sunday, it’s the Dachshunds’ turn! Join us from 10am–11:30am 🌭

Crispy cod cheeks to start? Yes please 🐟✨

Served with black garlic emulsion, capers, parsley oil, sea herbs and a charred lemon to squeeze over the top. A very good reason to order a starter at the King William.

A little comfort in a bowl 🍂 Our sage and butternut squash risotto is made with white wine and Parmesan, then finished with pea shoots. Creamy, cosy and just the thing for a King William lunch or dinner. 🧡

Our very first King William Dog Social is happening this Sunday! 🐾💛

We’re kicking things off with two of the loveliest, and most food-motivated breeds around: Golden Retrievers and Labradors!

Join us in the King Billy garden for a morning filled with wagging tails, new friends and more gorgeous Goldens and Labs than you can shake a tennis ball at. Their lovely crosses are very welcome too!

📅 Sunday 27 September
⏰ 10am–11.30am
📍 The King William, Scaftworth

🎟️ Entry is £5 per dog, payable at the gate. This includes a pup cup and a donation to The Mayflower Animal Sanctuary.

🍞 Freshly made breakfast sandwiches will be available to purchase, alongside barista coffee and tea for the humans!

Not your dog’s week? Don’t worry, we’ll be hosting a different dog social every Sunday until our all-breeds Christmas Pawty on 13 December! 🎄 We’ll also be introducing even more breeds and dog groups in the new year, so every pooch will get their turn.

No advance tickets are required, just turn up and pay by cash or card at the gate.

Don't have a dog? Come along! Who doesn't want to spend a morning surrounded by these lovely floofs?! 😭

Tag someone whose Golden or Labrador needs to join us this Sunday! 🥹🐾

🍺 ONE EXCLUSIVE BARREL. WHEN IT’S GONE, IT’S GONE.

The King William is one of only a handful of pubs in the country to have been blessed with an exclusive barrel of Hawkstone Wildthing.

A celebration of the British countryside, Wildthing is made in collaboration with regenerative-farming pioneers Wildfarmed, using barley grown in a way that’s better for the soil, biodiversity and the land.

Wildfarmed was co-founded by Groove Armada’s Andy Cato, who once played with the Doncaster Youth Jazz Orchestra and can, of course, also be heard on the Harper Inns playlist. 🎶

One barrel. One very limited opportunity to try it. Get a pint before it’s gone. 🍻

Introducing the King William Dog Socials! 🐾

We’re so excited to launch our wonderful new series of breed-themed dog meet-ups at the King Bill.

Join us every Sunday throughout morning throughout autumn, from 10am 'til 11.30am, as we welcome a different group of four-legged friends to the King William garden.

📅 Take a look at our calendar to find your pooch’s special date!

🎟️ Entry is £5 per four-legged friend, with every paying dog receiving a pup cup token to redeem during the event. Part of every entry fee will also be donated to The Mayflower Animal Sanctuary.

Don’t have a dog? You’re still very welcome! Whether you’re considering a particular breed or simply fancy spending your Sunday morning surrounded by dogs (I mean who doesn't? 🥹), please come along and join us.

🍞 Tea, coffee and freshly-made King Billy breakfast sandwiches will be available to purchase while you enjoy the morning.

A few important details:

🐾 This is an outdoor event, so please come suitably dressed for the Great British weather.

🐾 Please park in our parking field as normal.

🐾 Dogs must remain under their owner’s control throughout the event.

🐾 Please only bring dogs that are comfortable being around other dogs and people.

🐾 Owners are responsible for their dogs at all times and must clean up after them.

🐾 The River Idle runs alongside our garden, so please keep water-loving dogs under close control. A towel in the car might still be a wise precaution!

If our first socials go well, we’re hoping to introduce some dog agility equipment at future events to provide a little extra entertainment.

We’ll then finish the series with our end-of-year Christmas Pawty, when all our new friends can get back together, with festive fun and prizes to be won! 🎄🐶

We are already welling up with happy tears at the thought 😭 Plus, who'd have thought the King Billy team will be fighting over the Sunday morning shifts? 😆

We can't wait to see you! 🥹 Tag someone whose hound needs to see our calendar!
