Had a great time here at Bill's during my first day in London. We walked by and looked at the menu and thought why not! We sat outside and people watched which was so fun. The lemonades are delicious and we started with a sample platter that had great sausages, dumplings, and oh my goodness the hummus was amazing! My boyfriend got a breakfast platter which he loved and had a wide variety to select from! I got the shakshuka which was awesome. It was my first time trying it and loved it. Can I just say those were the best hashbrowns I've ever had? Perfectly crispy and full of flavor!! The bill you can scan via QR code so it was really easy to pay and get out of there. The service was good, not too fast and not too slow! read more

We had to wait for over an hour for our food. Then when we asked for it, it came right away but the burgers were burnt. We had no silverware and had to ask for that twice as well. My son ended up throwing up after a few bites of his Chicken Schnitzel. He went to the loo and it was clogged and totally unclean Which made him throw up again. We will never go back there again. The staff did not care about anything. read more

We were pleasantly surprised by a very eclectic and varied menu. My husband and I shared a number of starters and then enjoyed a salad and the vegetable sharing platter as our main dish. Service was fantastic and very attentive. Fantastic prices for London. We will make it a point to return here. read more

Service was good... not great! It was fine but nothing impressive. I got a whiskey pulled pork burger and it came with a shot of whiskey that you can inject into the burger. I didn't know this was a full shot of whiskey and made my burger taste like a short of whiskey. If you order that burger be carful with the injector. read more

My first day back in London took us here to Bill's for an English breakfast. It was my friend's first time in the city and I wanted us to enjoy a nice meal before we really started our explorations for the day. First off, loved the ambience. It was filled with natural lighting from their large windows and the entire restaurant gave off a hipster feel you'd find in Seattle. We waited only a short ten minutes before being seated on a Monday morning, so it shows that the busiest time here is probably going to be breakfast. While we came here for a traditional English breakfast, they were all "out"for some reason that morning. My friend ended up going for Bills Breakfast instead which was toast with ham and eggs, and seemed to have enjoyed the dish. Me on the other hand, I opted for a warm scone (£4.95) and a bacon roll (£4.75). Being back in London, I was happy with the scone although it was rather small for the price. My sandwich was decent but overall nothing exciting if you didn't add an egg on top. Food wise, Bill's was simply "okay." While the food was nothing to write home about, I again enjoyed the ambience and we had great service from our waitress. If you're in the area, I'd probably pass unless you're here for a coffee because the ambience definitely delivers in that respect. read more

AVOID - great reviews on here sent me to this restaurant when I was connected via Baker Street tube need of a relaxing and tasty meal. The very friendly lady at the front was awesome, but that's about it. My server was almost surly with an attitude because I was just one person dining. That's all I can figure. The seafood linguine was actually very tasty, but when I asked the server for any meal recommendations and also if she thought the pasta was decent, I got other suggestions that led me to believe not (she indicated that the pasta was a small portion - it wasn't). Then when I ordered, she basically got me to agree to accept my wedge salad and entree at the same time. That's not very normal but I accommodated as I realized it was busy. The pasta with lobster, shrimp and calamari was very tasty and a decent portion. The wedge salad had a great garlicky dressing but unfortunately it drowned out the lettuce especially towards the bottom (see 2nd pic). Nothing came with it - not even croutons or crackers or a piece of bread. The other last thing that really was an issue is that I asked for a glass of water. I received only the salad and entree - no water and completely ignored by the server until literally she asked if I wanted the bill. The nice lady at the front did ask if I needed anything and got me a glass of water. This was a big issue because I've had some health issues recently and need to drink a lot of water rather than soda or anything else; it's a reasonable expectation if spending 30€ on a meal In the US, it is customary to tip closer to 20%, but based on the service I was unlikely to leave anything much more than 10%. Fortunately restaurants add 12.5% gratuity - which they say is optional but is hard-coded into the bill - and so that was that. Maybe I just had a server who was too busy or having a bad day, but I would never ever come back to this establishment if visiting London again. read more

Stopped by Bill's for breakfast with three friends one Tuesday morning. The service was a bit lacking but the quality/value of the food definitely made up for it. I ordered the scrambled eggs on toast and added smoked salmon (£8.15). I was expecting just one piece of toast but it actually came with two pieces. The eggs were perfectly scrambled: smooth and creamy. There was also a hearty amount of smoked salmon, so they don't skimp on that. The coffee was great as well - fresh, and not too strong, not too watered down. Not sure if all the Bill's locations are the same but I'd recommend it. You definitely would not get this amount of food for this quality in NYC. read more

Decent food, but arrived cold and late. The reviews on TripAdvisor or Google are not accurate. Would never eat at this place after this dinner. Reviews on Yelp are more accurate than Google or TripAdvisor. Our seats were next to the waiter/waitress stand. Awful location. Our server did not come around to our table and asked us for our order from behind me and my guest. I expect a waitress to stand next to the table and make eye contact. I recommend that you save your money at eat somewhere else on Baker Street. The ambiance gives the place two stars, and the food was ok. The dining experience due to the poor service is the reason for the poor review. The worst part is that this was a special occasion, a birthday meal. read more

I was staying at an awesome Sherlock Holmes Hotel in the area and explored the nearby food-fare. The atmosphere here was light-hearted and fun, with excellent service from fantastic servers. I basically just asked what to order, then took their advice. The meal began with Wild Mushroom Soup, followed by an Oak Smoked Chicken Liver Pâté -- in all honesty, if (when) I make it back to London, I would make it a point to visit Bill's just for the shroom soup and pâté. But wait, there's more... For the entree, I ordered the Rustic Butternut Squash Stew, which was another victory. It was rustic. It was butternutty. It was squash. A serious stew, built for stew lovers. Loved it. To close my final dinner in England for that trip I enjoyed a scoop of Bill's Ice Creams and Sorbets. The server hooked me up with a sampling of the Salted Caramel, Strawberry, and Lemon Sorbet. Go here. read more

Visiting London, found this place for Sunday brunch and was disappointed. The decor is delightful and it was packed, so we gave it a try. Food service was slow, and when it came my eggs were cold and my wife's eggs had a hair in it. They replaced it quickly, but that kind of ruins the moment for you. The other thing I found annoying is the drum of the techno music in the background. I love the fun noisy atmosphere of the people, but don't understand the need for club music you can't really hear among the noise of the place. Lastly, I ordered a second cup of coffee that never came. We asked for the check to leave and never come back. read more

I visited Bill's for dinner and had booked a table online because I thought it might be busy. I was immediately greeted and shown to my table. My server introduced himself a few minutes later, giving me the opportunity to look over the menu. I asked for his preference between a few of my choices for mains (sorry to all servers who find this annoying!) and took his recommendation. Ultimately I decided on calamari for a starter, gnocchi bolognese for my main, and apple and blackberry crumble for pudding. The calamari were thick strips (good portion) and crispy on the outside. The accompanying sauce and lemon added good flavor to the calamari. The gnocchi bolognese was warm and well-cooked, but a little bland. I was expecting a little more flavor from the bolognese. The apple and blackberry crumble was very flavorful on the other hand. It had quite a bit of crumble, but the portions of ice cream and fruit balanced it out. The servers were all attentive, but not overbearingly so. The lighting was dim (just in case that bugs you) and the ambiance cozy. There is WiFi available and the prices are reasonable for the quality of food. I would definitely recommend. read more

Cute 50s diner decor, very good music, excellent mushy peas. I'm from the States, and I don't understand the hype; the fish and chips were good, but no different from what we have here. Happy to be there - the proprietor was charming and so happy to see us! read more

Honestly this was one of the better meals I had while I was in London and omg it was so good I dragged my parents to another location later haha By the time we got there, the breakfast menu was over which sucked so we ordered from the lunch menu. They have a fish version of shepard's pie and OH MY GOODNESS - SO GOOD. Honestly I wished I could've had it again before I left haha My sister had the mac & cheese and she said it was one of the best restaurant mac and cheese's she's ever had. Which is really saying something because her palette is even pickier than mine... And then we went for lunch - like I said, it wasn't the same location but assuming the recipe is the same, I'm going to include my breakfast review here as well. But keep in mind that the breakfast we had was at their Cambridge location. Anyways, their breakfast was good as well! We had a 5-stack pancake to share, ordered 2 eggs Benedict, 1 yogurt and granola, and 1.... some breakfast special from the menu my mum ordered haha. I can't speak to her dish anyway. The eggs benedict was good, but it was just 2 eggs benedict and no sides which, honestly, that's the first time I've seen it presented like that. It wasn't enough for both my sister and my dad, they had to eat more of the pancakes. I had the yogurt and granola which was goooood! The granola was their in-house brand. I thought it was too finely milled... wished it was a bit more chunky. But otherwise, their yogurt & granola was good as well. Either way, it was an extremely satisfactory breakfast AND lunch. Highly recommend! P.S. The customer service for THIS location in which I'm reviewing is AMAZING. Highly rec this location at least :) read more

This review is actually for Bill's in Kensington Arcade. Had a great breakfast here with friends around August 8th. Ladies had sort of a "lumberjack" breakfast and I had parfait. Everyone was well satisfied; the waiter was really cool and we sat and talked longer than we should've b/c of the laid back vibe. read more

Decent food, nice restaurant and kind staff. We came to Bill's for breakfast on what might have been one of the last sunny days of London for summer '19. We were able to sit outside and while the tables are right next to the road ( and the pollution that comes with it) it is always nice to be able to enjoy the sun and not ben stuffed inside. I do need to note that the interior decoration and atmosphere was pretty nice too. So if you are looking for a place to eat on a rainy day, Bill's might be it. The food was very decent (not extraordinary bit I got nothing to complain) and the coffee was good. They didn't allow people to smoke outside which was a blessing (I don't know if this is the normal procedure in London, I discovered that when the french gent next to me tried to light up his cigarette and was told he can't. I was very pleasantly surprised.) All in all, if you are looking for a place to have breakfast, go ahead and try Bill's. They do a pretty decent job. Side note: make sure to make reservations read more

Awesome food. We ordered a Bill's garden plate and pancakes. Everything was awesome. Ambience and decor were very good! read more

I went to 3 different Bill's restaurants during my couple of months staying in London. The decor is incredible- beautiful Gastropub details. The menu is unique and delicious, I had the chicken burger once, the beet risotto another time, and chicken Milanese. For dessert I recommend the strawberry ice cream and a pot of English breakfast tea! read more

I was looking for dinner near the Baker Street station that had light options and came across Bill's on Yelp. Really nice atmosphere on the inside with roomy booths. We started with Calamari and Spiced Tortillas. The calamari isn't a very big portion, but it's good if you like more heavily fried calamari. Comes with tasty half tartar sauce half red pepper tapenade. The spiced tortillas were actually big tortilla chips that seemed homemade and has a small kick to it. Comes with tzatsiki, red pepper tapenade sauces and guacamole - seemed like it was sitting out for a while because it was browning. Felt like a long time in between appetizers and entrees. My entree was Grilled Sea Bass Fillets, which I would definitely get again. The only thing is the avocado in this dish was also browned when I got it. The fish comes with skin on, on top of potato rosti - kinda like a a chunky tasty mash. The burgers were just alright, the buns are kinda try and tasteless. The fries are decent though. Seems like a hit and miss place depending on what you order, but I would recommend the spiced tortillas and sea bass! read more

First, the good: the food here was excellent! More importantly, I was dining with a friend with several severe allergies, and the staff were very cautious to ask about that and bring out an allergy menu. The atmosphere is quite nice as well. Second, the not so good: As we type I am currently waiting for my bill, which I have been doing for about 20 minutes now. It also took an incredibly long time for us to get menus to begin with, and when it was time for our orders to be taken, our server had to leave and get a manager to take the order of the individual with an allergy. While I do appreciate the attention to safety, it took about 10-15 minutes for that manager to come out. There also wasn't water provided until our drinks came out. I feel like this is a place with potential, but a lunch should not take 2 hours with 1.5 of that being waiting for someone to interact with us. Maybe it was an off day. I'm not sure. But I'm not sure I'll be coming again to find out. read more

The food was good but that doesn't excuse the service. We arrived 12:30. Out server took our drink and food order shortly. Our drinks arrived promptly. And then we waited. And waited. I inquired about our order twice. The first time I was told there was a big party ahead of us and it would arrive soon. The second time I was told he would check. And then he avoided eye contact and the table. We were served lunch finally at 13:50 (1:50 for the Americans). We would have left but we're so hungry starting over elsewhere would have taken longer and we kept thinking it must come soon. As I said, the food was good once it arrived. But there is no excuse for the service. Stay away! read more

Ate here on a Sunday (mid-afternoon). Food is outstanding! I splurged and had the ribeye steak. Nice, aged beef with great flavour. Given the price of the steak, however, I was a bit surprised to have to pay additionally for the sauce, but the sauce (béarnaise) was as excellent as the steak. When I went, I needed to kill time before a movie, but, had I been in a rush, I would have found the service very slow. Nevertheless, I will be back. read more

We enjoyed stopping in here while in the neighborhood. The ambience is great, and the staff were all really nice. The dinner food was a resounding "meh". We got the spicy Italian flatbread and the mezze (mix) tray to share. The flatbread is not spicy, way too doughy, and super salty to boot. Would not recommend. The mezze had some decent items, though. Grilled chicken skewers were not bad, chips and salsa was pretty much standard, the crab cakes were a bit dry but tasty. The calamari was good. Olives were good, as well. Their Bill's Beer lager is tasty and cheap. I'd come back here and have breakfast, since that seems to be their specialty, or maybe a few beers and a burger (another table ordered some and they looked and smelled pretty good). I'd avoid any of the table share menu items at dinner, though, they're not great. read more

Walked across the street for brunch from where we were staying in London. Place was definitely buzzing probably because they were getting busy with the lunch crowd. Ordered the vegetarian breakfast with eggs and veggies and was not disappointed. I'm not a big fan of poached eggs so I ordered mine scrambled. The plate was a party of all kinds of flavors from hummus, avocados and tomatoes. With that said, it did get a bit dry towards the end with all that white toast. Also service is slow so make sure you have time to wait. Overall it was a good experience. read more

Probably the best breakfast we had while in London, the staff was welcoming and courteous, the food and drinks arrived quickly, my wife and daughter tried scones with clotted cream and jam nearly every day and thought this was the best they had.

I've never been to a Bills before so this was my first experience. Menu was a bit simple but food was flavorful. I'm glad that I came here. Service was fantastic. I didn't give it five stars because the food took a long time for both starters and mains but it was okay as my husband had to make some phonecalls so I didn't mind the wait. However, if we were in a rush this could have been an issue. Overall quite enjoyable and would come again. read more

Bill's has decent food usually and I have visited their branches in Covent Garden and Islington and enjoyed it. We came in for hot drinks only this time, were seated... Then pretty much ignored when trying to order. 3 staff stood with their backs to us near the till discussing something and failing to pay any attention to my requests for service. Finally we gave up and decided to leave. The manager noticed us then and said 'thank you' so I explained what happened and why we are leaving. He said he can take our order now... Well too late I'm afraid. It's 1 star for service, can't talk about the food this time. read more

This place is sooo great! Fresh ingredients, laid back vibe, great service! When in London I'll be making this a morning tradition!

You have no idea how happy I am to have a Bill's open on Baker Street (I live round the corner). It's the perfect date place. You dine by candlelight but it has such a relaxed atmosphere. The food and drink selection is great and have never been disappointed. Special shout-out for the Eton mess! As it's now near me sometimes I take my work there as they have WiFi. Of course, I will order food not to take advantage but I have never felt rushed by the friendly staff and the service is great. For any meal during the day ; breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, I couldn't recommend this place any more. read more

Bill's in Baker Street has become one of my top favorite restaurants in West London. To say I love this place would be an understatement. Just a 2 minute walk from Baker Street station this place is not hard to miss! I was looking for a place to celebrate my bday and it wasn't long until I found this place. I went in to enquire about making a reservation and was greeted by a member of staff at the door, she was friendly, very informative and showed me around the restaurant. The day of my celebration went great! Everything was perfect from the atmosphere to the food and the service, I was incredibly blessed. The staff went above and beyond to make my evening a fabulous one! I highly recommend this place. Great place! read more

I ordered delivery from Bill's: tomato soup and the summer salad. Soup was decent although slightly in the tart side. The salad was on the dull side. Greens were fresh, the grains al dente, the watermelon sweet but the overall combo fell flat. A bit of feta or cashew nut cheese would go a long way! read more

I was starving when I ate here... I wasn't impressed by their breakfast menu, so we stalled for 30 minutes to get their lunch menu. (11:45a) I wouldn't get their crab cakes (caveat I'm American) but I felt like it was a little thick with filler. Everyone else I was with enjoyed their meal 100%... lamb burger, chicken satay, potstickers, spicy gnocchi... sounds like I just mad a poor choice. Seems like a great London chain with all sorts of good options throughout day... read more

My wife and her friends ate there this evening. The bill was 42 pounds and gave the waitress 60. They waited 15+ minutes for change and she never came back. So they tracked her down and asked for the change. She said she thought they didn't want change!! An 18 quid tip for 42 quid bill?!?! What is that, a 40 percent tip?!?!? My wife said that she never heard of a waitress asking or assuming that she can keep the change and that that is rude. The waitress replied, "but Madame this is England!!" Pathetic!!! The staff should be trained properly and stop trying to rip off customers!!! read more
