About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
William’s is a multi-award-winning seafood restaurant, fishmonger, delicatessen and caterer in the heart of Nailsworth, Gloucestershire.

A veritable Cotswolds institution for fifty years, William’s has recently benefitted from a full-scale refurbishment of both the restaurant and shop area in January 2020.

Alongside a 64-cover new restaurant sits a new fish counter displaying an outstanding range of fresh seafood, delivered daily from Scotland and the South West coastline. The adjacent delicatessen offers a large selection of chef-prepared meals, cheeses, charcuterie and terrines as well as fresh fruit and vegetables.

We are proud to have been voted one of Matthew Fort’s ‘Five Favourite Places to Shop’ and one of Rick Stein’s ‘Food Heroes’.

    Fantastic lunch - probably the best fish and chips I’ve had here (and I’ve had a lot 😆) or anywhere, really. Anyway, it certainly hit the spot! Always a treat to visit. Lovely staff, great service and atmosphere as ever :)

    Really enjoyed the meal with friends, obviously was a bit cold as we were outside and leaves kept falling on the table so a canopy and blankets would have helped. Food was very tasty, all plates were cleared, not a morsel remaining , lovely service, price was reasonable, will return one day

    William's delivers consistently. The service is friendly, the food is delicious and the ambience is just the right side of casual but special. The fish soup is a firm recommendation. Came with friends who had a great time.

    Delicious menu. We thoroughly enjoyed the fish- lemon sole and John Dory which were both superb. We visit regularly and are never disappointed. Highly recommended. Staff are friendly and polite. Thankyou.
