William’s is a multi-award-winning seafood restaurant, fishmonger, delicatessen and caterer in the heart of Nailsworth, Gloucestershire.

A veritable Cotswolds institution for over forty-five 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’.

    Another wonderful lunch with relatives. The 2 course meal deal option was very reasonably priced and tempting, but the extensive lunch menu lured us into some fabulous dishes which didn’t disappoint. The staff were extremely welcoming and attentive. We will be back.

    Lovely service and super food. Fish cooked perfectly and the dishes well balanced. It was hard to choose from the menu. It's a real gem to have such a good deli, fish counter and restaurant like this on the doorstep.

    Very good all round with excellent and speedy service. Although a fish restaurant, with quite a large variety of fish dishes, nevertheless there was none of the perhaps a little more unusual fish - no monkfish, gurnard, Dover (or lemon) sole, skate. Nevertheless what there was was good - we had a nice fish stew as main course, and my crab soup starter was also good and slightly different from the norm (spicy, with a kind of fragrance). The meal for two (one nibbles , one starter, two main courses, two glasses of wine) came to £110 before the tip.

    All courses were absolutely delicious. Well seasoned and presented, with great flavours. The two fish dishes I had (tuna starter and prawn main) were melt in your mouth. Friendly and attentive staff too. Highly recommend.
