William was hosted by founder Clement Ogbonnaya, who was recognized in King Charles' 2026 New Year's Honours List. He met participants in the pub's weekly "Chatty Patty" tea-and-talk sessions aimed at easing loneliness, pulled a pint (calling it "a lot of pressure" before saying it was "not bad"), shared laughs and even accepted a hug from a little girl during photos outside the community venue.
