King William Inn

You walk into the King William and immediately know you're in a proper pub—the kind that doesn't need to try too hard. It's right on Market Place, so you're at the heart of Glastonbury's action, but once you're through the door, it feels like your own little escape. The crowd's genuinely mixed: you'll spot tourists rubbing shoulders with locals who treat the bar like their second living room, artists heading up the High Street, and families ducking in for lunch. The real draw here is the ale selection and an honest approach to pub grub that doesn't overcomplicate things. It's the sort of place where you pop in for one drink and somehow three hours vanish.
