Such a great little place that I stumbled across in Oxford! Food was delicious, and the ambiance was really cute. Great place for a date night. Service was great and wasn't too crowded for a Saturday night which was nice. Got the crab cakes as an appetizer and loved them, definitely would get them again. The steak was good, but nothing too special about it. The Pims drink was also good, but the best was the Raspberry and Rose Hips Collins and Love it! It isn't too sweet which I love! read more

Came here for a giant group dinner (think 30+ people), and Bill's was so accommodating to seat all of us, and also have us each pay individually at the cashier, as opposed to all of us getting one big check and trying to figure out how to allocate payment. Their waitstaff was friendly and courteous. Food-wise, I wasn't too impressed. I ordered the steak and rarebit pie, which I hate to say, tasted really weird. It tasted as though the meat had been preserved for some time and became slightly rancid. I still ate it all anyway, and thankfully I didn't feel weird after the dinner, but it just wasn't that palatable. There was also a side of what seemed to be some carrot potato salad with some greens (not a whole lot). This was kind of mushy and weird for me. The green juice was refreshing, but it just came in a small bottled glass, so there wasn't a whole lot of it to drink. At least it's a great place for a large group if you need to seat a huge party. read more

Bill's is such a nice place! I came here for brunch with a few friends, and we all really enjoyed our food. In fact, Bill's is insanely meticulous when it comes to dietary restrictions. If you let them know about any dietary restrictions that you have, they'll bring out a manager to talk to you. It's nice that they care this much, instead of brushing it off! It's also got a nice, cosy ambiance. A great place to catch up with friends! read more

You know that misconception about English food being bad? Just go ahead and throw that out the window right now. This is a new world: a new time. Once I start class I lose my appetite, which requires a good, hearty breakfast and coffee to start the day: Bill's really was the perfect place to do that. Never mind the warm hospitality, the comfortable and cozy seating, the food was delicious every.single.time. They also have some cute novelty items to shop for. Locally made. When in Rome, do as the Romans do and enjoy a proper English Breakfast. Connect to their wi-fi to catch up on the day while not feeling rushed by the serving staff and enjoy looking out the window and people watching. I cannot recommend this place enough; no Fawlty Towers cuisine here. Cheers! read more

We were there with my girlfriends to have a breakfast when enjoying time in Oxford. Actually it was the first time in my life I tried porridge. I was kindo suspicious to this kind of meal.. But.. Porridge with maple syrup completely changed my point of view and since that time I am porridge addicted. You definitely should go there, it is calm with beautiful interior and delicious stuff! read more

Nice decor, reminiscent of a saloon in the American West. We ordered the mac and cheese and the monkfish stew. The mac and cheese was amazing, and I know my mac and cheese. The portion didn't look that big when it came, but it was densely packed underneath those panko bread crumbs. There was gooey cheese, leeks, mushrooms, spianch maybe. I was full. I am less enthused about the monkfish stew, which as the previous commenter mentioned, is sparse on the monkfish. There might've been three pieces of fish in the whole thing. Eventually you were left with excess stew and not enough bread to sop it up. Elderflower fizz for a drink. read more

Best dishes we had were the Shepherds Pie, Burger, and the Chicken. Cheese stick appetizer was yummy too! Service and ambiance are great. Our family loved stopping in here while we are touring around. read more

This was the last place I went before leaving Oxford. My friends and I were hungry, and wanted to grab breakfast. I got the parfait and avocado toast, both of which did not taste that great. The avocado toast was really dry, and the spread was not as appetizing as I thought it would be. The parfait, while I enjoyed the fruit, the granola and the yogurt didn't mix well and it just ended up being really soggy and difficult to eat. There was also a lot of disorganization when it came down to the bill, and one of us ended up having to pay a lot more than necessary. Splitting the bill needs to be organized better. If you're in oxfordshire, this isn't the first place I would recommend. read more

Cute spot righty next to our hotel, but that's about it. Service was good, beer and cocktails fantastic, food was at best mediocre. Neither of us finished our food and would only come back for drinks. I had a fish sandwich with fries and it came with ketchup on the sandwich and the tarter sauce on the side??? Maybe it's my American coming out, but yuck. read more

Breakfast was absolutely stunning. Highly recommend the Eggs Royal. Pancakes were delicious as well. Definitely one of the best places to eat in Oxford. I give it a solid 5. read more

Bill's is a great spot if you're a student since they have a 20% discount! The burger is pretty good and the Mac and cheese is also a solid choice; I wouldn't say that either are particularly impressive but it's a good deal for the amount that you pay. I didn't enjoy the chicken skewers that were served with pita on a Greek platter (I forget the exact name)-- the chicken was really dry and stringy. read more

Food was great but my 6 year old didn't care much for the chocolate brownie milkshake for some reason. Excellent service! read more

Bill's - British Near Me - Oxford, OXF

Decidedly average. A cross between Jamie's and Carluccio's. Not as good as either. The service was OK but I don't like serving staff that interrupt conversations rather than coming over and waiting to be spoken to, or even just saying excuse me rather than launching into what they have to say. I had the liver pate to start and it was nice but the bread was very think slices of french bread that had been heavily toasted so it just crumbled when I tried to spread paté on it. My main was the burger which itself was fine but there was no mayonnaise in it (contrary to the menu) and the waitress didn't believe me when I said there wasn't - I had to show her. The burger bun was cold and the chips came in a silly enamel bucket. They were at best lukewarm. A friend had the monkfish stew which he said was nice but rather sparse on monkfish! Desserts were fine - I had the Eton mess which was very tasty if a bit of a small portion. This restaurant is fine but I'm not sure it will compete in Oxford. There is much better in Oxford for the same amount of money or less. read more

Bill's - Inside, in the evening - British Near Me - Oxford, OXF

Had the vegetarian breakfast and scrambled eggs. My poached eggs were almost cold, bubble and squeak and mushrooms were luke warm. Nice idea for a vegetarian breakfast combo with hummus spread on one piece of toast and guacamole on another but not the best execution of a dish. I was told the scramblers were "ok". This new branch of Bills will be a hit before too long I'm sure. The ambiance of the place is very airy and relaxing. Unfortunately, the food on my visit didn't quite match the attention put into the decor. Still I have high hopes for Bills. read more

A delightful place, I had seen a number of reviews, however I didn't come here until I had a recommendation from a young lady at Barclays bank. I went in and was welcomed by a delightful young lady who escorted me to my table I was then looked after by various staff. I ordered Bills breakfast, great breakfast that was hot and cooked perfectly. Thank you all for a marvelous experience. I would recommend this establishment to everyone read more

Perfect location (not far from the bus station). Great decor, good service, food at decent prices, the only downfall is that they were out of most of the things in the menu - I was craving for char grilled steak and chocolate brownies but settled for rib eye steak and pecan pie. My food was cooked well and was served quiet nicely. I will definitely visit again. read more

Went with the family, four adults, two children under twelve. Some food restrictions, veg and low glycemic... Excellent server, fun environment. Kids enjoyed brownie shakes, lots of good starters to keep the munchies at bay- hummus and heirloom tom salad. Kids menu worked great. Adult food was very good, casual dining well priced. read more

Trying to be a Oxford tourist I came here. The layout was a little difference since when you first walk in on looks like a cluttered shopping store more than a restaurant. There was not a lot of people there so I assumed fast service. My waiter was not very attentive and even saw me flag her down once and she kept it moving, um ok? O order a very peachy Bellini which was good and small. I then ordered the poached salmon fish cake which I found a little bland and dos not like the fact that it was coated in sesame seeds. Being unsatisfied I ordered a Shiraz to mend my feelings and a side salad. With the salad I asked to have a few slices of lemon and what was given to me was 2 slices cut into small little strip. Wth? How am I supposed to squeeze the juice out of these tiny things?! How cheap. Don't think I'd return. read more

My new go to place: reasonably priced, nice ambience, best brunch thus far in Oxford. Favorite dishes: - Oatmeal (breakfast menu): if you're a porridge fan, you must try this! thick, sweet, nice addition of bananas - Rosemary & Potato bread (lunch menu): baked fresh (very warm and fluffy), easy to share - Lamb burger: pleasantly surprised by the rich Mediterranean flavors, meat and fries were cooked well read more

We went there with friends. I took the beef stew but was a little disappointed. It's a bit light without a side and starts to be expensive with sides. My friends who took the full English breakfast were satisfied, with a special mention for the watermelon juice. read more

Waited forever for everything. Couldn't get attention to order or get my bill which I had to ask for three times. Sweet potato fries were ok but portions of everything were very small. Be warned their "optional" service charge isn't optional. read more

Started with chips and dip and then had the mac and cheese as recommended mostly because I was afraid to try something else. The food was good and everyone in my group was pleased. I had the eaton mess for dessert and while it was good it was simply too much cream and merengue for me and not enough strawberries. read more

The food was delicious. Shepherd's pie, fantastic. Roast Chicken - amazing. Great find, excellent ambiance.

Omg... If you are missing a good burger, this is the place! It's the first time in 5 weeks I've been asked how I wanted my burger done. Most place just burns it to a crisp! Great atmosphere, cool vibe, and a damn delicious burger!!!! read more

This place has, in my opinion, the best breakfast in Oxford. I've been to Brown's in the covered market and it is hands down the best all-day breakfast. But, if you manage to make breakfast before 12 during the week, I would definitely recommend Bill's. The eggs florentine were tasty. Bill's breakfast (full english) was excellent flavour wise (not too greasy, perfectly cooked) and size wise. Coffee and tea were delicious. read more

This restaurant is very close to our Vanbrugh House hotel and proved to be convenient for coffee and the best carrot cake in the UK. We enjoyed it so much, that we returned for dinner with a friend who lives in Oxford area but had not been there. She pronounced the Ancient Grains salad as the best she has had since arriving a year ago; the sea bass and spicy ribs were also excellent. read more
