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’.

    I recommend William's as a place to eat. My friend and I stopped at the restaurant for a light lunch prior to a nearby appointment. The staff at the restaurant were not phased by our early arrival (travel time far better than anticipated) and were very welcoming. Excellent food and good table service. My friend ordered the piri piri chilli prawns and they arrived with single use disposable lemon wipes to clean fingers. The sticky toffee pud was divine with an interesting and delicious lime twist on the caramel sauce. The liver parfait with poached rhubarb dish was in my top 3 ever starter dishes. Thank you for superb food and service.
