Latte
Maria L.

The ambiance here is amazing. We went for breakfast, it's easy to walk to in covent garden. Super cute space. It gives older gay men house vibes! Plants and cute things on the walls. Heck the radio was playing the theme song to The Breakfast Club! There's a brunch and a breakfast menu and my avocado toast was tasty and well made. My latte wasn't the best I've had in the area but it was doable and the food, atmosphere, etc made up for it.

Plant Plate (vegan English Breakfast)

This is a great place to go for American and British breakfast staples. I really appreciated being able to get a vegan version of an English breakfast and that everything tasted great. The staff were also really nice and were able to turn over tables quickly on a busy morning.

Bill's offers online reservations with a convenient location, friendly staff and food served quickly. They have different sections for Breakfast, Brunch and the rest of the day sectioned into Nivvles, Smaller Plates and Mains, Salads and deserts. My wife absolutely loved they had an entire Gluten Free menu and she enjoyed her Chicken Shawarma. I tried the BBQ Bourbon Beef Burger which can only be described as disapointing. It's only available cooked medium or Well, and in typical British fashion, no matter how you order it, you receive it well done. But I get that is a cultural thing and Americans, especially who order more expensive beefs and cuts of high end steak, prefer medium rare. The about of BBQ Beef Biscuit which is supposed to top the burger would be measured at about 1 tablespoon- barely noticeable. It was, for me, mediocre in every respect, and the chips/fries, which Brits are famous for, were uninspiring. This place is very popular, and I wouldn't let this one review keep you from trying it out. I would consider going back for Breakfast but would not return for Lunch or Dinner.

I came here as my first meal in London to catch up with my sister. My sister made a reservation for 1:45 PM and, granted we were ~10 mins late, the hostess made a comment about us being late and that our table wasn't ready yet. We then waited another 10 mins for our table. During this time, a long queue formed out the door and I noticed that even though other people showed up for their reservations on time, they were still told their table wasn't ready, which left a lot of obviously frustrated customers even before stepping into the restaurant. FOOD: I personally ordered their Bill's Big Brunch and it was plenty of food for me. It was a classic English breakfast, nothing more or less. As always, the baked beans were my favorite part of the dish. You can't go wrong with this one! I will note that someone in our party ordered a steak cooked medium rare, but the steak came out medium/well-done, which was slightly disappointing. SERVICE: This particular location's service left much to be desired. Our waitress wasn't really friendly (or unfriendly), but we did let her know that someone at our table is gluten free and she mentioned she'd double check if the dish he ordered could be gluten free. We never heard back or saw her much after that and had to double check that the dish was indeed gluten free when they served it to us. To be honest, I felt like the staff wasn't attentive and didn't seem too keen on going above and beyond for customers. The food was decent, but service was mediocre. Given this, I'm not sure I'd return to this specific location again.

Cute restaurant with great and friendly servers. We came for breakfast and got a couple of different entrees to try. The pancakes were nice and fluffy. The sourdough toast was one of the best ive ever had. The butter was nicely salted and the jam was delicious. The English breakfast was standard and delicious.

This was one of our best meals in London, and we have Yelpers to thank for it! Ambiance: industrial chic, but cosy and artsy! Wait time: around 1pm on a Sunday in July, we got in without reservations with the caveat that we had to be out in an hour Price: super reasonable! This was one of our cheapest meals in the city, and we didn't even split anything. Food: my husband had the English breakfast and coffee, and I had the Hippy Bowl and one of their green juices. Everything was excellent. Staff: the staff looked a little overwhelmed, but cheerful enough! After we were done, there was a little queue forming outside. Despite this being tucked away and not visible from a main road, it's very popular.

Hot Chocolatw
Lan T.

It was an amazing English breakfast anyone could ask for!! We all loved our meals, especially the fresh egg yolk that you can't find in the stages, the crispy bacon, and the rich hot chocolate!!! The staff was very attentive!! Perhaps it is the UK thing, they were extra careful with allergies. The staff asked and told us twice about allergies. They also spent extra time to explain about possible cross-contamination. My daughter got an allergy flag on her pancake that she took as a souvenir. It was very busy even on a weekday morning, I guess with all the tourists like us! Good thing we made a reservation on their website before we came and got seated right away!

Bill's burger and Bill's beer
Brenda H.

It was crowded for a Sunday night. Two tables were vacated while we waited but they weren't cleared very quickly. We ate outside on the patio so I can't comment on the inside décor. As a tourist, I found the price of a hamburger and french fries to be high. It did taste good. I also enjoyed the Bill's beer which I would compare to a light beer in Canada. The menu stated that a tip of 12.5% would be added to the bill. The bill had the word optional next to the 12.5% tip. We waited a long time for the bill which didn't come without us flagging down a server. There was a further wait after we asked for the bill then we had to wait to get change. So there was no way we were going to ask for the amount of the tip to be adjusted. We specified that we wanted to pay separately when we ordered. But everything was put on one bill. I noticed in other restaurants in England that they don't know how to produce separate bills. Maybe the software used in the UK can't handle a request that's so common in North America. Oh well.

Super yummy food. Lots of options. Great service with a cool ambiance. Was here for a quick day in London and had an amazing full English. The bacon was American bacon though so that was unique. The coffee was great too

Interior

Very pretty inside. Seems like a pretty classic brunch spot w cheap bottomless brunch. The smoked salmon Benedict is worse than US, but the English breakfast is pretty good. Super nice service.

Nadia C.

lovely spot! it has such cute interior decorations. very cozy. the breakfast platters are delicious. plenty of options. and wonderful cappuccinos. great spot for breakfast

Salvatore our server was super attentive and went above and beyond to provide spectacular service. We would come back just to have Salvatore help us. We had an amazing brunch, incredible food, incredible ambiance, perfect patron experience!

First off it's hard to get breakfast before 10am in Covent Gardens. We had a long day ahead of us and an early start. Totally expected to wander into a breakfast spot on a Sunday with no reservation but hardly anything was open besides Pret and A few bakeries. We found Bills and walked in without calling ahead. The hostess didn't have a spot really but snuck us in under the condition we were in and out in 45 min. Service was on point from there on. I had more than enough in a traditional English breakfast. My wife was served an almost obscene portion of chicken and waffles (pancakes?). Everything was tasty and served promptly. We found Bills by accident but we wouldn't hesitate to go back.

The basement has a bar, lounge and restaurant. It was a little noisy. But we could still talk. The roasted scallops were cooked perfectly. The green sauce was tasty. I love the presentation. The Bill Marrow was also good. It was very rich. There were two kinds of Sunday roast a sirloin and a rump. Three of us had the rump roast dinner and three had the sirloin roast dinner. It was hard to tell the difference. All the dinners came with roasted potatoes greens and of course, Yorkshire pudding. It was all delicious. I have to say my favorite part is always the Yorkshire pudding. I also have a green salad, which is basically just lettuce with a light dressing. It was very fresh. We were too full for dessert. The service was excellent. We were seated right away and given water. In the UK, you can order sparkling, still or tap. Sparkling and still come with a charge. Tap is usually free. Our server was attentive without hovering. It's a good idea to make reservations at Hawksmoor especially for the Sunday roast. We got there at three by the time we left around 4:30 some of the roasts were already sold out. Just a note: Sunday roost is usually a late lunch not a dinner. It's good to go between two and four especially if you don't have a reservation.

Simply look for The Pie Shop sign and pick your pie which is served with silky smooth mashed potatoes and lashings of rich gravy. Every time I eat a pie this place is my benchmark for the best pies ever! The  menu at Battersea Pie Station includes classics like steak and stout, minced beef and onion and chicken and mushroom, plus more creative, veggie options including butternut squash and goat's cheese. The steak and stout is my ultimate favorite! This place is my go to pie place every time I'm in London. I always try to stay in Covent Garden just so I can come here. This is my basis of the perfect meat pie with the pleasingly firm crusts and sides of mash and roasted potatoes are so delicious. The rich red-wine gravy comes separately in a small jug. I smother the pie with the gravy. Ingredient quality was excellent. They have mini pies and the regular sized pies. Even for a counter-service place this little cafe is terrific value - and you will be surprised that for Covent Garden you can eat a reasonably priced and uber delicious meal that makes me full the whole day! 5 stars can't wait to come back!

Smooth and moist inside with a buttery flaky outside. Steak & Stout: Same great crust, but with a very distinctive inside, chunks of firm roast and thick gravy where you could actually taste the stout. Probably my favorite pie here. Chicken & Mushroom: A nice variation from beef, but by no means lesser. With it's large chunks and umami gravy, this was like a quick hit fix for when craving a proper chicken pot pie. Mash & Gravy: The mash was smooth and buttery. The gravy was more than plentiful. Kinda lives under the shadow of the delicious pies though. Sticky Toffee Pudding: Good, but not great. The toffee sauce felt a bit too thick and wasn't as warmed as I like it. The sponge cake was alright, but kinda dry, like they just plopped into the toffee sauce puddle. But it did do a good job of soaking up the sauce with a little spoon dexterity.

Mother Mash…read morewas such a great find, and I loved that you get to customize practically every step of your meal. Step 1: Choose your mash. So many options to choose from, but I went with the Champ, a traditional Irish mash with butter, cheddar, and spring onions. Silky, buttery smooth, and absolutely packed with flavour. Step 2: Pick your banger. I went with the Cumberland, a classic British pork sausage with pepper. Super flavourful and the perfect match for that creamy mash. What a banger of a banger! But we weren't stopping there. We also ordered their Steak and Blackheart Stout Pie, one of their classics. So so tasty! For this one, I went with the horseradish mash, which had loads of that lovely horseradishy goodness. Then we topped it off with Tracklements Spitfire Chilli Mustard. What an incredible combination! The richness of the steak and stout, the punch of the horseradish, and that spicy mustard all worked beautifully together. To wash it all down, I tried the local Gosnells Raspberry Hibiscus Nectar. First time having a nectar, and I'm hooked! Fruity, refreshing, and absolutely delicious. I seriously need to find this back home in Vancouver. Great British comfort food, generous flavours, and the fun of building your own plate. Mother Mash definitely delivered. If this is how our London food adventures are starting, we're off to a very good start!

Huge thank you to the team! I also noticed the restaurant was completely full and cozy of happy customers, which was great to see. If you're looking for classic bangers and mash in London, this is the place to get it. The customizability is incredible: just pick your main or pie, choose a mash, and drown it in gravy. With so many combination options, there are truly zero wrong answers. . A highlight was being introduced to Tracklements Spitfire Chilli Mustard--it was so good we had to ask where we could buy a jar! To top off a great meal, it was such a lovely surprise to learn that the owner used to live in Vancouver! Great food and wonderful staff! It does get very busy, so just be patient with the line; it's well worth the wait!
