    Seemed a little chaotic to past service. Staff pleasant enough but huddle of staff talking instead of serving. Waited half hour for a drink. Unbelievable at 8 pm on a Saturday they didn’t have a single bottle of Rose wine of any of the choices left on the premises. Unless they have deliveries on a Sunday no doubt customers will be disappointed today. With a Tescos and Sainsbury’s close by you would think manager could be authorised to get some in. Food was very good and served promptly . The young student waitress from Bath was very good.

    Nice Bills, one of the best we’ve visited. Quick service and hot food. Glad we booked as it was busy on a Friday night. The only negative would be the long walk to the toilets, which could have been cleaner. Will definitely return.

    We booked a table for an early dinner. Our table was near a fire door which was in constant use to serve the outdoor tables. The door didn’t open and close effectively, and made the area very cold. One of us had to keep closing the door, but the staff didn’t seem to notice. The food was tasty, but pricey for what it was. The food fumes were very overwhelming in the place, despite the door. Our clothes smelt strongly afterwards. We won’t go back again.

    Wow. We were 10 people on a busy Friday night with a big party being seated ahead of us. I resigned myself to waiting. I resigned myself to orders being taken down wrong as 10 people asking for salad without olives and adding extras and changing their minds halfway through would drive any waiting staff mad. And yet...wow! Our waitress was calm, our drinks flowed, our starters and main turned up on time and not one order wrong! This is an art. People who work in hospitality are grievously underappreciated in this country. Good service is as much an art form as the wonderful chefs creating masterpieces. Did I mention the food was sublime? Absolutely faultless. Thank you for looking after us so well.

    Fantastic food each time we've been. A bit of a wait after ordering drinks and then for starters to arrive. Staff are friendly and overall a great experience. However, there is no hot water in the toilet sink and their isn't a way to dry your hands besides using the toilet roll, would recommend disposable paper towels. I would rate Bill's a 7/10, purely down to the unhygienic hand wash facilities and long waiting times for food and drinks.

    Excellent attentive service during busy period and whilst they got my repeat beer order wrong twice it did get sorted without a fuss and without being charged for errors! Our two young grandsons 2 & 4 well catered for although no crayons etc and on food, no burgers at 6pm? Seafood Linguini and Steak were excellent. Will return for sure!

    We had booked a table at 7:15 we had to queue at the door for nearly 15 minutes just to be sat, we ordered drinks that took another 15 minutes to arrive (these were all soft drinks in bottles), we requested table water which was forgotten too sadly. Food didn’t take too long to arrive after the drinks however the food was just warm not hot and looked messy on the plate. We then waited 20 minutes after we finished our meals to have our plates cleared, and then our desert plates were not cleared at all. We couldn’t find the waitress in order to ask for the bill for a good 10 minutes and when she arrived we needed to split the bill and she was hovering over us with a card machine making us feel rushed sadly! We usually love bills but this visit wasn’t up to standard.

    Food was good. Waitress was efficient and helpful. We were sat by the fire door where a howling wind was coming in. We kept closing it. The staff kept reopening it as it was a short cut to delivery in the alleyway. Food was late. Drinks came after we had finished eating. They had no staff. No apology. No discount. The manager took no interest in repairing the service. Very poor
