A little bit about us…

Each pub has its own story, character, and loyal locals, but they all share the same welcoming spirit. Whether it’s top-notch sports screenings, quiz nights, or DJs keeping the party going, there’s always something happening. At most of our pubs, you’ll find proper pub grub – with big, juicy burgers and classic fish and chips being firm favourites. And when it comes to pouring a cracking pint, we’ve got it nailed. We serve up real value, a great atmosphere, and a pub experience that’s worth every penny. The William Foster is a popular city centre venue close to the High Street and main shopping outlets that offers great food, a wide range of drinks, and a cosy, welcoming atmosphere. With live sport and local guests at the heart of our business, we are the perfect spot for people of all ages and families to enjoy deals on food and drink all day long, seven days a week. We are host to local sports teams and clubs, student socials and parties, and great weekend nights out with our jukebox, pool tables, darts area, and comfy restaurant with something for everyone.
