    We have eaten at two different Bill’s Restaurants to date, both were a treat. We will be keeping an eye out for them in future when we are out and about or away for the weekend now. I am a clean freak, so dusty ornaments and light fittings in eateries are the only thing I didn’t like but, the very way they are designed to be quirky means they are filled with industrial fittings and have a ‘junk vibe’ makes it all very difficult to keep really clean anyway. Staff are just lovely, food is tasty and prices are good. Would always recommend.

    Celebrated a friend’s surprise birthday dinner. Staff went above and beyond. From the reception to the dinner table, staff were attentive, friendly, efficient and everything was done with ease. All our requests were granted as well. High quality food and really good value for money. Not very long wait time for food despite the fact that it was a busy night. The place was faultless, the ambience, the service, choice of interiors and also the seats were comfortable. Great selection of food on the menu and drinks too. The restaurant was easy to find given that it is in the city centre. Parking was not a problem, there are plenty of options around the city centre with a 5 minute walk to the venue. Overall, a memorable night and a lovely dining experience. Thank you to all the staff!! You are amazing
