We started outside with excellent service & when the rain hit moved inside. The stacked pancakes for dessert were delayed for some reason so we asked for a takeaway box. When the bill came the waitress said they had taken the pancakes off as an apology for the delay & not having them on time, which was a lovely gesture and amazing customer service. We are locals & eat at Bills regularly and little gestures like that mean we will always be back! Thank you to the super waitress who served us on this occasion.

Staff are young and so exceptionally polite and helpful, food good quality and appropriately priced. Garden and pub decor tasteful and in keeping with the age of the building. A Monday lunchtime but still busy and overall unfaultable

We took our mum here for her birthday, and it definitely didn’t disappoint! 🎉 We received a lovely welcome from Kieran, who made us feel extremely welcome from the moment we arrived. Our waiter, Stanley, was absolutely fantastic — such a polite, friendly and helpful young man who made our experience even more enjoyable. The food was delicious, and we all had a wonderful time. We’ll definitely be returning very soon! 🤗
