    Perfect Latte!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Waiting area.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Eggs Royal didn't last long enough to be photographed. Absolutely stunning!

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.
