Reviews of Bill's Brighton Restaurant
r.
My friends and I enjoyed a lovely brunch here on a chilly Sunday morning. We had booked online and were pleased to do so as the restaurant was full throughout the meal. I ordered a cocktail and although it was delicious, I had to slip it very slowly as there was only about a mouthful in the glass at the cost of £7. We ordered our food and it came in good time. The meal was very tasty and the poached eggs were cooked to perfection! Still, I felt it was a little over priced for £13. My friend ordered the banana smoothie which she wasn't aware contained a shot of espresso. She took one slip and hated it. After we received the bill we asked the server if he could remove this item and he was very kind and did so without any hesitation! I liked the decor and atmosphere of the restaurant and would come again. The staff were lovely and all said goodbye on our way out of the restaurant.
m. n.
Fantastic breakfast local with large portions. Staff was freindly and attentive. Highly reccomend if you are in the area
Z. B.
Beautiful venue and really friendly staff. Food was all amazing, especially the flower pot cheesecake 👌 i loved the house drinks, nothing was sweet which was a bonus.
Our only issue was one of out party receiving a cold breakfast, though we did order it 15 minutes before the cut off. Chef owned it however and recooked the meal and got it comped without asking, which honestly was really great of them.
We ordered from breakfast, lunch starters and burger menus at 4.45pm! The flexibility of their menu was impressive.
Would definitely recommend going here for a nice meal.
A.
Very friendly staff and the atmosphere was so nice! Definitely go if you're visiting Brighton, breakfasts are served all day. Leona, our waitress upstairs, was so friendly and even recommended some places for us to visit! Food was delicious 😋
A. D.
Food and atmosphere were nice, however, it didn’t wow me. It was a spontaneous decision, so it was pleasant. Maybe I just didn’t pick the best options on the menu.
The presentation was beautiful though.
S. M.
Absolutely loved this restaurant! The decor was really homely whilst also being super stylish. we got calamari and the cheese fondue for the table. Best calamari I've ever had and the truffle cheese fondue was out of this world! However it could have been better with more sauce as most of the bread soaked it up! For Mains I had the meatballs, which had so much flavour and sides were great. My partner had the black and gold burger (medium) which was cooked to perfection. He said one of the best burgers he ever had! Our side of Mac and cheese was game changing! Cocktails were good also. Brilliant place for lunch or dinner. Especially for date night! Only downfall was that we had asked our waiter at the beginning, if the restaurant accepts blight light discount (which is does) however a different waitress came and gave me the bill and card machine. No mention of the discount and I completely forgot to remind them so ended up paying full price of the meal when we were entitled to NHS discount.
V. G.
Everything was excellent! Even though it was extremely busy we got our plates quite quickly and they were both really tasty! Friendly staff and very cosy decor. I’d say that it’s your normal Bill’s but it’s actually better haha
E. B.
My girlfriend and I went for breakfast last Saturday. I must say the experience as a whole was phenomenal.
The bar staff were more than helpful and very friendly, more so than any other restaurant we’ve been to in the local area. The food was sublime and worth every cent.
A bustling atmosphere was about the restaurant on a bright Saturday morning, can’t say I’ve went to a place for breakfast that can come close to how great Bill’s was!
Keep up great work guys! Well done!
Kind regards,
Eoin + Anna (Ireland)
A. M.
Marvellous! A genuine 5 star experience! Delicious meals, really great service with attentive and friendly staff. Utterly recommended!!!
Return visit - happy to report the experience was every bit as good as the previous time! 😁

We came in and were seated fairly promptly by the sweetest and friendly guy I've ever met in my life. We ordered our drinks which came fairly quickly, and then ordered our food. We ordered eggs Benedict and Mac & cheese with fries. Unfortunately the Mac & cheese came cold, and we were 1 portion of fries short. We made the staff aware, and the manager came down and apologised profusely. She then came back with hot mac & cheese, our extra portion of chips, as well as an extra portion should we want it.
Once we finished our mains we ordered donuts. They were great, but they did take 15 minutes to come out which is a long time for dessert.
We got the bill, and saw the manager had kindly knocked money off for us. Since the staff were friendly, we kept the optional service charge on although I wish they didn't add it automatically.
The food was amazing, and we really appreciated the gesture from the manager. But overall it was a shoddy experience.

Visited here during the Christmas holidays for an impromptu meal, went in as it looked nice and we couldn't have been happier. The staff were great, atmosphere was great and the food was amazing, a total surprise. I had pan fried fish with crushed potatoes and broccoli, which was sooooo good I can't state how nice it was in words, my husband had the burger, which, yes, you can pick up and eat like a burger, he said it was great. The only thing I personally thought could change a little was the desert, I had the Christmas tree cheese cake, I felt there should have been more cheese cake, less cream and the chocolate pot could be thinner. It was a chocolate flower pot! We can highly recommend this restaurant and are planning on going back.
L. M.
Great service even first thing in the morning. Friendly staff, food is great (big Bill’s fan after being to many), great interior as expected. All round very good experience as you’d expect from Bill’s
G. F.
We went here for my girlfriends 25th birthday. The food was amazing both in savoury and sweet and the drinks and cocktails were amazing as well.
The staff were all fantastic polite enthusiastic and helped make her birthday truly special. Treating her like the birthday girl but not singing her happy birthday when she begged them not too.
Overall fantastic place beautiful ambience that everyone visiting Brighton should go.
W. L.
Nice and friendly staff, good music and atmosphere! Incredible food on top of it, would totally recommend!
I. B.
Just perfect - great staff, wonderful atmosphere & music, awesome food, but again, as with all best restaurants, it’s the staff that make it so, so special- We didn’t want to leave. Thanks for a wonderful evening - Sorry we didn’t get waitresses name to mention, but looked after us so we’ll. - Thank You!
J. B.
Attended on a busy weekend night, was greeted within a minute at the door and swiftly sat on comfortable chairs at our table. Staff were all professional enough, had some of the best food I'd had in a while, a few nice beers to accompany. I can't wait for my return visit, they truly are good here at Bill's.
d. m.
I went for brunch with a friend and baby. It was the first time feeding a very messy babe solids out and about and the staff couldn't have been lovelier. The food was great, they let us have the breakfast menu even though we were too late really. They heated up my baby food and were totally fine with the mess and noise he made. They were kind and patient and went totally above and beyond to make sure we were all happy and comfortable.
J. G.
Service was great, food nicely prepared and hot and very tasty. Love the atmosphere of this restaurant and a great place to have a get together with family or friends.
C. J.
Platinum Jubilee cocktails were on point here! Great themed menu options and lovely service to match - had a fab meal and a really good time.
D. C.
We'd booked for lunch but were a bit early. Nevertheless our party of six were welcomed and soon seated at our table. We had a leisurely meal, with great food. Very friendly and attentive staff made this a perfect birthday celebration for our son and his family.
P. B.
Went for dinner with my daughter
Food was great
Staff were amicable and friendly
C. C.
Very pretty interior design, so instagram-able 🙌🏼👍🏼 the breakfast is alright
T. G.
We had such a fabulous evening to celebrate my wife's birthday. The food was delicious (the sour dough bread fondue is a must) and the staff were absolutely lovely. Looking forward to next time.
D. P.
The food was great and everyone enjoyed there meal. We was a table of 8 and just one person got cheese in there burger when they asked for no cheese. The staff were lovely. They seemed very understanding about my allergy (CELIAC) they told me how everything will be absolutely fine but they can't 100% guarantee cross contamination which I understand I asked if they had a separate fryer and they said yes. Then that evening I was ill. So if you also have celiac I personally wouldn't recommend eating here now my weekend Is ruined I wish i had known as I would have just not eaten and I would have been fine with that over getting ill.
S. B.
Nice food although Lobster linguini was a bit light on Lobster! However, the staff were amazing saying so friendly and efficient. The place is very beautifully decked out and worth a visit.
O. D.
How did we not find you before? next time we come to Brighton we will be booking for lunch or dinner. We had an outstanding breakfast this morning. The poached eggs were perfection.
We were made to feel so welcome.
Outstanding food and superior friendly service. 👌 good job guys, can't wait to come back.
D. W.
Three trips to Brighton and three brunches in Bill's. Why? Apart from the excellent food and the fact a DJ plays the music on Saturdays it's one of the few places in Brighton you can book a table at! The cooked breakfast is very good and the pancakes get great reviews from my family.
L. S.
Came a few weeks ago for an anniversary dinner, was so pleased with the service and food! Not too sure on the man who served us' name but he was so lovely and knowledgable about the menus. Loved the complementary drinks too!
G. R.
Perfect!! 100% recommend.
I have never eaten anything better in the uk!
Also, it was my birthday so they prepared a lovely desert just for my birthday.
Amazing staff, Michael was lovely, so as Flo!!
Im not from Brighton but I will definitely come back.
Thank you all of you!

Bill’s is a must try restaurant for everyone. I had an amazing experience, with very good service and a very bright interior and restaurant setting. We were a group of 10, and they accommodated us very well! All the food was amazing and I particularly enjoyed the Mac And Cheese. All my friends also complimented their food! I would 100% recommend everyone to try it.
C. H.
Great service, lovely food, wasn't too busy, which was fabulous for us. Good selection on the menu, highly recommended.....especially the set menu.....and the mini doughnuts eith chocolate and caramel sauce 😋
S. K.
I normally go to Bills with a high expectation as their known for a popular brunch destination. I think the service was a little unsteady at the start with seating issues. In most instances you’d fix up by offering great table service, simply menus been given is a good start. I personally think it was all slow.
I ordered some food after 15 minutes of wait time on a non busy afternoon.
The starter was an absolute joke. Two small, pieces of bread, as if they were low on stock. Either way, main course was average and the mac cheese was very watery.
Overall, they need to consider their portions and meeting up to their pricing. Atmosphere was nice, and clean.
A. O.
Bill's Brighton... Usual menu. Decent service... BUT dont't put us in the window directly under the external LED lights when we ask for an intimately (read dimly) lit table.. so many places get the lighting wrong... But there were tables with the right lighting available that they could have put us at...
N. A.
Went in for a last-minute brunch on Sunday afternoon around 1:30pm and really enjoyed it. The service was solid and the food was very tasty. I had the garden plate and the Eton mess for dessert (a mango meringue which had a smooth creamy flavor, not too sweet). The sparkling drinks that my friend and I shared were also very tasty. Even though the restaurant was very busy, our servers were great.
C. C.
Beautiful setting, full of real plants. I had the marinated half chicken, which was spicy and delicious; I opted for the sweet potato fries instead of the white ones, included in the price and I had extra broccoli stems, which were delicious too.
A. C.
Bill’s is one of the better brunch spots I have been to. There is a great selection of foods available for both non vegetarians and vegetarians.
It has a great ambience and the staff was extremely friendly too!
The highlight for me was the Mac & Cheese! It was so creamy and defintitely one of the better mashed I have had. The pancakes were really fluffy as well which I enjoyed. I also tried the traditional breakfast which was standard but great to have. My friend tried the peri peri chicken and really liked it too.
Highly recommend this spot for breakfast/lunch/brunch!
S. 7.
Really nice food… very delicious
Services is really great I have never had such a good service before👍🏼
And it is really pretty 😂
j. g.
Good food, good service, at a reasonable price. No complaints. We had brunch, we’re seated quickly, the staff were attentive, and the food was served quickly.
M. E.
Really enjoyed the quality of food! Great selection for GF V and VG just the vegan breakfast options could be more filling. I ended up having granola with my tofu scramble as I was still hungry! Very friendly staff.
A. S.
What a wonderful diner. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The pot of tea was devine!! The eggs royale were cooked to perfection and the pancakes simply mouthwatering. Will return to Bills on every visit to Brighton. Amazing
M. K.
Absolutely brilliant. Went for breakfast (had Bill's brunch) and it was awesome. It gets really busy so best to book, especially at the weekend. Staff were lovely, really looked after us and were kind, polite and attentive. Food is brilliant and coffees are delicious. Highly recommended. Will visit again soon.
F. B.
Private breakfast meeting, very good service & atmosphere. Well organised catering for all dietary requirements.
K. W.
Nicely located to not be over busy but still at peak a very short wait might give you a moment to take in the atmosphere.
Brunch is great as expected and be sure to try the hand made cooler drinks.
Also enjoyed just people watching for a while, there is no real rush. So sit back, relax and enjoy good food, drinks and atmosphere.
J. S.
Disappointing visit today. Ordered the smashed avocado and poached eggs. And found abit of totally off avocado which left an awful taste in my mouth. The manager on shift (the older gent) seemed abit unprofessional and seemed like he was more interested in being the centre of attention.. your very lucky that your only saving Grace today was your member of staff Chiara.. very polite and more professional than the managers.. be more like chiara
C. L.
I LOVE the breakfast here and the ambience is great! All the Bill's are unique and they also have vegan options. Very reliable and the morning strawberry juice was also very refreshing.
E. L. G.
During my recent trip to Brighton we had a lovely breakfast at Bill’s, a popular chain of restaurants with over 79 outlets in the UK serving an all day menu. It all started in Lewes 18 years ago in 2000!
Bill’s was bustling when we arrived with our large group on a hen do! The restaurant is split into two tiers and we dined upstairs. In the lead up to the booking, the communication from Bill’s was excellent and we pre-ordered our food. They were very patient with everyone arriving and a couple of people changing their orders!
The brunch menu at Bill’s is extensive and includes pretty much everything you want! We kicked off with some prosecco and the bride had a special cocktail made for her which was really sweet. The hot chocolate with cream and a FLAKE was also amazing!
As usual, the standard of the food was great and very reasonably priced. I love their 3 stack pancakes with streaky bacon (£7.95)! The eggs benedict (£7.95) and the Smashed Avocado on Toast with smoked streaky bacon (£9.45) were also very popular with the group.
I definitely recommend a trip to Bill’s when you are in Brighton
Y. X.
Lovely fancy breakfast/brunch place with lots of vegan/vegetarian options!!!! Fantastic menu items and high high high quality ingredients!!!!!!!!
a. v. e.
Lovely looking place and really friendly attentive staff. We ordered toast with avocado with poached eggs and side of streaky bacon. The food was good but not great. The kitchen could have a bit more generous with the avocado and the poached eggs were on the cold side. We ordered a bloody Mary as well, and added a bit of Bill's Hot sauce. Delicious and super spicy.
F. B.
Great service, staff are wonderful & very accommodating. Love the veggie options.
R. M.
Fantastic place to eat breakfast. Runs until 4pm.
To compliment my breakfast I bought my self a Turmeric coconut Latte. I highly recommend vegetarian garden platter. 15 minutes walk away from the main Brighton station
M. P.
The Christmas decor is up!!! And it looks absolutely Christmassy in there! Far far better than the Bills restaurants in London! The service is brilliant too....staff were very polite on our visit!!! We went there for breakfast and it was great walking into a festive looking restaurant!! Brilliant Christmas atmosphere combined with such great happy staff! Loved it!
D. B.
Fantastic food, excellent service and a chill atmosphere, all at an affordable price. Highly recommend to anyone
P. B.
Good food and colourful surroundings. The table service was great and friendly. Kitchen took a while to get the food out, so order a starter and don't be in a rush.
A. C.
Lovely interior. Nice food, a shame they had run out of most of the cocktails and smoothies. Not happy they automatically add on a service charge!
B. 7.
Really good atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff, food was better side of average for the price. Prices was good, but slightly irritaed they added 12.5% service charge. Ordered calamarie for starter, did not taste fresh and was grey in colour. Looked like it has been frozen. Burger and fries were good.
G. A.
I had a good brunch with my friends ! The food was lovely so was our server and other staff around the restaurant. The price is good for the amount of food you get as-well! Definitely will be going again soon.
m. “.
I found the profiterole dessert simple, for such a restaurant. and the main dish took 30 minutes to arrive. Apart from that, the waiters were very polite and the place was very nice.
C. F.
Valentine's Meal at Bill's this evening. Great staff and the food on the Valentine's menu excellent. Didn't expect the live band and that was the icing on the cake. Well done Bill's, hope to be back soon 👍
J. H.
Good food and excellent service, staff are just great. Very enjoyable !
N. F.
Popped in for a quick burger before the theatre. I am always surprised that I don't go here more. I was impressed with the food and the service. As it was a Thursday they had a DJ playing some music, which worked pretty well. Overall a nice place, though somehow just misses the mark, I can't put my finger on it and its certainly got a lot better since I was last there.
S. B.
The gluten free Benedict was delicious and the service was pleasant and kind. Interior decor inviting and bathrooms tidy. Love this place and I'll be back
M. S.
Christmas party amazing service from Charlie. Food was great. Loved it.
G. “. J.
Really friendly staff, nice food, good looking place. You will love it there.
J. S.
We came for breakfast and again for lunch. Awesome food and super friendly staff in a nice location. We will defenitly come again!
L. S.
Make sure you book online as it gets really busy for breakfast (even in the working week) had a voucher for money off and got the garden breakfast and a smoothie. The breakfast was nice but I'd probably miss out on the smoothie as you don't get a lot and I didn't seem to enjoy it as much as I thought.
T. S.
Great atmosphere and location.
The food is good and plentiful.
It is always busy, so if you have a bigger party it is worth booking ahead.
L. W.
Love the decor and atmosphere, friendly staff, great choice of food and drinks throughout the day. Food was lovely and presented very well.
A. G.
The members of staff at Bills are extremely welcoming and the moment you walk in feel straight at home. I’ve had the pancakes and granola here, both which were very nice. Personally I would recommend the the pancakes over the granola, but that’s just personal choice. Service was quick and efficient, would 100% come back to this Bills. Absolutely amazing!
B. E.
First time to a Bill’s restaurant and I have to say it was great. The food is really good, and the service was excellent. I will definitely go back to Bill’s restaurant.
Z. F.
Everytime I visit Bill's I never get disappointed.I walked in to have a quick breakfast I ordered scrambled eggs and avocado on a toast, it was delicious & fresh!!!
The staff is so friendly & accommodating 😊
Thanks for an amazing service 👍
R. S.
Lovely ambiance, attentive staff but on my recent visit the food was not as good as usual hence no 5th star. I ate from the set menu and the main course chicken was over cooked and overall lacking oomph.
J. C.
Great food staff are really friendly and a really nice interior
R. M.
Reliably good service and food & drink. Prices on the high side - the good is good but not exceptional - but we had a good discount so bringing the bill down significantly.
C. D.
Amazing food. Large portions 👍
Service was a little slow but eventually worth the wait.
T. B.
Really nice décor, great lunchtime atmosphere, decent enough food for a fair price and staff were very professional. Would go again.
s. g.
Amazing menu food was lovely and staff ever so friendly! The Italian head waiter was lovely.
P. W.
Great atmosphere, food quality was good, service was a little slow.

I was served quickly, big queue on Saturday mornings for brunch so book ahead! I had the pancakes with fruit, really filling.
C. T.
Nice chilled area, quick service, lovely food.
N. B.
Really cosy place, we sat on the street side which was lovely! Super friendly staff with facemasks and a temperature check at the entrance, made me feel just a tiny bit safer! Very affordable, good food but wasn't blown away. Overall experience was great though !
S. B.
What a magnificent evening. We were the big party and Charlie and Jenny plus the rest of the team including dale in the kitchen simply made our 40th birthday party not only memorable but historic. London Bill’s could learn from this team!! They worked so hard to make our night so very special and it was a stand out! If I could give 20 stars .. then they would get 30 xxxx
S. A.
Visited last Friday and had a great experience. Warm welcome from the fantastic team and a beautiful space.
B. N.
Just a good ol' Bill's. Good food and service. Get their Bill's Tabasco sauce while you're at it 🌶️🌶️.
A. H.
Absolutely loved Bill's. The food was really outstanding and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Will definitely be going back!! 10/10
A. B.
Great brunch place, chilled atmosphere with good choice of vegetarian and gluten free options plus standard options. Good for an "eclectic" group of friends with different dietary requirements ;) fair value if not on the high side average menu option £4 to £8 also well located next to pavilions.
L. G.
Brunch and it was fab.
Staff friendly, helpful, uniform looked good.
Food was fab as was atmosphere and price very reasonable, recommend to everyone.o
T.
Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and great full english and we got our orange juices for free because the manager asked us to change table because he needed our table for a larger group.
i. w.
Lovely feel to the restaurant. Service was great. I had the fish pie which was enough so shouldn't have ordered chips as well. The only issue for me was the dj downstairs, monotonous club beat music which just seemed so repetitive. Apart from that a good night.
S. B.
Absolutely lovely!! Went there for dinner, the atmosphere was great and the food was delicious! We waited quite long for the food thought and sitting next to the door and the windows was a bit awkward and chilly. But overall would visit again and sit somewhere else :)
S. B.
My favourite bills. Great, friendly staff, very good food, good choices for vegetarians. They didn't have the pudding my husband wanted so we got dipping donuts on the house. Fast service. Just wish it was nearer to where we live, I would be in there every week!
k. c.
Delicious food, great atmosphere, lovely staff
V. J.
The staff were very friendly and a nice atmosphere but the food was just average. We were told when ordering our drinks, cocktails, that there was a bit of a wait!!!!!!! Finished our starter and was offered water, ended up ordering a normal drink at an extra cost of £14 just so we could actually have a drink. Cocktails turned up after a wait of 50 minutes.
P. S.
Bills a great place to sit around with friends and enjoy a good selection of traditional British dishes
The staff were very friendly
Service was fast enough considering the restaurant was quite busy at the time we visited it
The drinks were quite nice
The only complain I would have about it would be the prices they are a bit on the expensive for the food they sell
E. D.
We ate here last week before going to a gig at the dome. The food was really good. But the staff really stood out for me. They made us as comfortable as possible and accommodated my wheelchair and constantly checking up on us. And just generally really lovely 😍 and chatty x thank you guys
D. K.
I went to Bill's with 8 other hens for a Hen party and was in absolute awe of the decor and the selection of food they provided us with! They had a great DJ who was playing the best songs, we had a three course meal and every dish was absolutely delicious!! For a big party they managed our table extremely well, thank you guys! We will definitely be coming back to Bill's ! <3
H. G.
Firstly this restaurant is stunning inside. So beautifully designed and decorated, you can't stop looking around. The food was exquisite - we visited for breakfast. Decent sized portions, very reasonable pricing. Will definitely return when we're in Brighton again.
E. F.
Amazing food and service. Highly recommended!
R.
I ordered pink lemonade and they brought me a glass with a frozen raspberry in it. Amazing.
The food was good too I guess. But that raspberry, just amazing 👌👌 10/10
F. P.
Excellent service especially by Henry, he was friendly, polite and professional at his role. The food was brilliant very tasty, (and hot which can be rare for some restaurants)and the cocktails were great. Overall a fantastic evening
C. L.
Really nice environment and good service. Had the 'Vegetarian Plate' breakfast and it was delicious...! Easy to get a table for breakfast but gets busier later on.
J. S.
Delicious menu with plenty of options suitable for everyone. Can't go wrong.
C. T.
Great choice of food even for those with allergies and beautifully presented and really tasty. Great personal touch from waiters too.
Only criticism was music was too loud most of the time, so we had to almost shout to hear one another.
P.
A nice little café in the centre of Brighton. Very popular locally we needed a booking to get a table for a Sunday lunchtime. The food served is on the theme of elevated cooked breakfasts, brunches and light lunches and the like.
My party had Florentine eggs, a large breakfast, a minute steak with a truffle sauce and a beef burger. We chose various coffees and hot chocolates to drink - along with water for the table but the venue is licenced with a good selection of wines, bottled beers and cocktails.
The table was clean and everything was well presented in what's best described as a "shabby chic" environment. The premises itself being the roofed over entrance to a former bus station accessed through a discrete little airlock door. All very "Brighton".
Service was great with a complete absence of "awesome" and "no problems" - phrases which I particularly abhor - albeit there was one or two "amazings" from our waitress but you can't have everything.
The other customers we saw a mixture of young couples through to families and friends indicating a wide appeal.
The bottom line is that both the food and service were superlative. What was less great was the £92 bill for a light lunch for four with service charge included on the bill. I'll pay a service charge or leave a tip but not both. I do feel that including a service charge in the bill is something of a liberty - especially considering the price of the meal itself. On the other hand I'm told that this is the modern way of doing things and that I must stop living in the past so c’est la vie.
So very much recommended - notwithstanding the price.
No pictures I'm afraid - there's nothing worse that trying to eat a meal and someone snapping photos on the next table.
P. A.
Love this place so much. Beautiful location, great food and absolutely lovely service by very friendly staff ❤
J. T.
Beautifully delicious breakfast washed down with a perfectly strengthened coffee.

Really cool place, really kind and welcoming staff. The food is very good and tasty and the prices are ok.

Very good service, attentive and staff apologised as food was running a little late but food was very good?
S. K.
We had drinks and desserts only in there, but delicious. Nice place and atmosphere for sitting with friens. I had totally lovely chocolate brownie yummy

Excellent service and fabulous food - highly recommend

First time to a Bills, honestly wouldn't bother again. Nice and clean and friendly service however food wasn't particularly inspiring and quite expensive.
J. l.
Great food and really nice staff! Fruit pancakes are amazing!!

Awesome breakfast and staff. Various vegetarian options. Recommended

My husband and I enjoyed a lovely evening at Bills last Saturday. Every single person on the staff we spoke to were smiley and helpful. Our food was really lovely. There was a problem with the scones I ordered in that they were like rocks! I could hardly get my knife to go through them but the staff all apologised and I had replacements in quick order. We really enjoyed the dj as well. A really enjoyable evening and I would definitely go back if we are in the area again.

Chicken was over done and rubbery
Staff lovely, great atmosphere
E. H.
Food was delicious. Service was a little slow considering they were not busy at the time.
M. B.
Sevice by a young lady called Jess was fantastic, venue very nice, certain food items not so great in the group of 8. 5 of the meals were great, 2 were standard and 1 was not so good. It was steak which should of been medium but was more rare than medium. I would recommend Bill's again though from previous other experiences.
M. M.
Great food and service in up beat cheerful atmosphere.
E. K.
Great place for family lunch. Good food and great service
G. M.
Cool venue, awesome décor. Limited veggie options. Food underwhelming and not well seasoned (to my taste!).
G. H.
It was wondeful experience
The food was good, service was fast
And the worker was very friendly
I recommed about it... 👍🏾
t. a.
Went a few weeks ago with my newly wed neice & her hubby. Booked in advance & requested table near DJ (friday nite) ...got exactly that. Service was exceptional. Advised of free cocktail wth main so took advantage of that & totally ordered more than intended bt all eaten as not rushed. Highly recommend this lovely place...atmosphere & decor is great & will definately return.
D. H.
Excellent spot for breakfast, big portions with the full breakfast, although the eggs came a little over cooked for my tastes. Staff were friendly and welcoming, especially taking into account their online booking system allowed people to book tables an hour prior to the restaurant opening - still honoured the bookings and essentially opened early to cater them!
P. M.
Great food, value and fabulous service
R. W.
Usual industrial style premises that is fab however on the day I dined here food was not very hot and small portions but still worth it for those who like the brand
T. D.
Since I don’t know how long I always enjoy the chicken burger at your place!! Love it love it love It !
L.
Love this place. The sharing plates are great! Always try a cocktail from here too if you can!
G. B.
Excellent food quality. Worth every penny.
H. D.
Delicious food with a huge variety, staff really nice and funny. Food easy to order and comes quickly! Overall, brilliant!

Good service gluten free menu good food
P. A.
Went to have a cooked breakfast. Service friendly and food good. Will certainly do it again!
D. A.
Very friendly efficient staff and top quality food. Lots of seating but gets busy. Great for brunch.
A.
Amazing food, lovely staff, but there were a few cleanliness issues - hygiene is always important but especially during this pandemic. Dirty cutlery and glasses were left on our table, and the chairs had crumbs from previous customers. Staff were very quick to replace them once we asked but I'd expect glasses without lipstick stains on in the first place!
A. O.
Great food, excellent friendly staff and very quick service. Despite not booking on a busy Friday we were given seats quickly. Would 100% recommend.
J. M.
Bill's has a good menu and is particularly good for breakfast. Also amazed that Maisie Williams aka Arya stark works there in her spare time. So don't order any pies, just in case 😉
A. B.
Great dinner in relaxed atmosphere, excellent service and delicious food for good price.
N. W.
Used to love Bill's, it was a Brighton institution. Was at a loose end recently and popped in for a late lunch. Expensive and OK food. My poached egg was so overdone it would have bounced. They did offer to redo it, but I'd have finished the rest of my meal by the time it was sorted. With so many options available in Brighton it's not for me.
A. C.
Absolutely love this place. Clean, friendly, buzzing, nice welcome, great food. Just wished they had parking however, Bill's in Lewes is also fab and easier parking facilities so enjoy, smoothies to die for!
J. R.
Lovely breakfast/lunch/brunch place! Had Bill's Beer (which is better than expected!), I had eggs Florentine which were delicious. We will return!
M. H.
Very good service. Standard food as Bill’s. The place got full quite quickly in the morning.
M. B.
Good place for breakfast, not cheap, but always tasty. Opens at 8 which was handy for us.
K. G.
Breakfast in bills was ok .pancakes getting smaller for the price .on top of that forgot my banans with the pancakes and also not enough syrup. Pancakes ended up dry .should give you extra syrup for the table.staff was friendly but seem very frantic in the restaurant rushing about.i went for a chilled relaxing breakfast and bills wasn't the place for that .if you want a quiet breakfast bills maybe not for you .on a good note pancakes are amazing and great equality of food.bills pancakes are amazing but please understand its not value for money .I am paying for a service charge and having too ask for glass of water .seriously. I should have the choice too say yes too a service charge instead of automatically been charged. Sorry but 30 pounds for two breakfast his not cheap.
S. P.
Really liked it. Nice friendly welcome and servers who were attentive without hurrying us along at all. Great mix of items on the lunch menu - we had the burger and the fish pie which were both excellent. Coming after the olives and bread, and starters, we left feeling very well-fed indeed. Highly recommended
C. S.
My family and I went to Bill’s for lunch and our server was very attentive, made great suggestions and the whole experience was very good. I really liked their newish re decorations, good ambience and would highly recommend it as food was very fresh and you are paying for quality too.
A. b.
Very nice food,staff are lovely
D. N.
Staff very helpful made space for the double buggy. Had a menu for people with allergens. The mac and cheese was wonderful. The price was very reasonable.
C. B.
Food was good but music was a bit too loud. There was a DJ in the restaurant! Not for me but maybe good for younger folk
J. M.
It was nice enough. Decent menu with a couple of vegan options. Choices were a falafel salad or burger. I had the burger which was a bit small but tasted OK. Staff were excellent
G. L.
This place in underrated, I ordered English breakfast and food was delicious and staff provided excellent customer service.
T.
Great food, Great servers. Just a shame it took so long to get the food out to the customers. Still had an excellent night. I'm sure things will get back to normal soon.
Y. V.
Bill's always has amazing food and friendly staff. The new Korean burger was to die for. Great flavours and juicy at every bite.
S. P.
Had a work Christmas night out there tonight. Very good good food good services. Good atmosphere good space with covid regs.
A.
The service was exceptional unfortunately cannot say the same for the food.
I was unable to order my steak as medium rare.
S. B.
Great food and great service! I just think it’s a little bit over priced for what you get, I would still recommending to go though!!
E. P.
Great breakfasts!!! Yummy vegan option too.
A. H.
Excellent service, kind and attentive.
Beautiful, stylish and comfortable.
...last but certainly not least, delicious!
J. M.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Served with a smile

Beautiful, large venue with lovely staff, great food and solid drinks
J. M.
Food and service was 1st class, delightful and pleasant.
J. G.
Amazing food and atmosphere love bills always perfect in any area you go
D. A.
Food was very good but service on the night was very poor which left us with an hour to wait for our food, seeing many other tables served before us. The manager in fairness recognised the issue but the damage was done.
L. B.
Took a huge family group for a Traditional English Breakfast, didn't book as we took an off chance they would be able to accommodate as seen online the restaurant was plenty big enough! We were accepted and the food was very good. Everyone enjoyed it thoroughly. Drinks also very good . Service was friendly & attentive too. Great time had by everyone.
P. H.
Always great food, excellent veggie options
S.
Very delicious food!! but they are so slow it's took an hour till the food arrived.
K. H.
Unique cocktails & salads. Kale butternut salad was large & enjoyable
R. E.
I took my girlfriend for breakfast (which is served until 4pm!) and was very happy with our experience. The front of house staff and waitress were very friendly and attentive to our needs. The food was absolutely incredible and it's no surprise they have been voted the best breakfast place in Brighton.
S. T.
Excellent as always. Got a table really quickly. Great friendly staff. Top quality food.
G. A.
Had a great experience, attentive service, happily fixed any thing that wasn't quite right, great ambience and good food and drinks. Great for mixed age group and they couldn't have been nicer.
j. w.
Sorry but the food was a little bland, waiting time was not so good either.
S. G.
Nice food, lovely staff.
E. R.
Fabulous! Very tasty, homely food. Good vegan choices as well. Super friendly staff. We had to wait a bit for our mains but without asking we were offered free drinks. So nice!
D. W.
Amazing, hot, tasty food. Brilliant service from polite, friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit :)
A. S.
Lovely place ,a feast for the eyes and the breakfast excellent and you can buy the tea pot
T. V.
Tasty food, friendly staff, atmospheric place
E. R.
Beautiful place and tasty food. Fair price with student discount
A. Q.
Must go here for the breakfast and try superboost drink. It's phenomenal
H. M. L.
Food is alright! Not bad at all. But the ambiance is amazing. So vintage and indi, yet amazing colours. Would coke again only because of this, not because of the food
D. J. W.
Went for breakfast at Bill's, good standard food, the service was a bit slow. Overall experience was good
B. P.
Great place just dropped in for a drink and a bite to eat before a gig. Great food lovely staff and good value for money 👍
C. C.
Gorgeous restaurant. I loved the pieces across the wall, and general asthetic of the establishment.
Waiter was very friendly, if just a tad slower than would've been liked.
Breakfast was very nice, from the granola, pancakes, to Bill's breakfast. I can't fault it. I also loved the size of the tea pots! Easily four cups out of it, although not enough milk.
Waiter was also slow at providing the bill.
J. C.
Visited with my daughter and grandson, Monday lunchtime. Nice relaxed vibe. I had the Thai green curry, my daughter a burger and grandson a kids meal. Good well cooked food. Service was very good. Would return.
M. C.
We came to Bill's after a last minute change of plans for a hen do and I am so glad that the original plans fell through. As usual will Bills the food was great - I've never been disappointed with their food, and as a vegetarian I was really pleased to see some different options for once, the falafel was lovely.
But the main reason I'm writing this review is because right from the word go, the staff were amazing. The guy that met us on the door was very patient with us while he checked our temperatures, even though we were all very drunk and silly by this point in the evening, we were taken upstairs to be seated and then we met Luca. Oh man, what a guy. He humoured our silliness throughout the evening like a total champ, gave us all such a wonderful time that we didn't want to leave for our next booking. By the end of the meal all of us were just a little bit in love with Luca! I hope that Bill's management are reading these reviews and give him a massive pat on the back because he well and truly deserves to be recognised for how great he is. I'm just disappointed he doesn't work at my local Bill's, although I'd probably never leave!
B. D.
Superb place for a lazy sumptuous breakfast. Try the carrot, apple, ginger juice.
R. T.
Ultra friendly service & delicious breakfast!
G. R.
(2017) Absolutely amazing!! Food was lovely, service was great and the place looks amazing couldn't ask for anything else. Recommend to all!
*Update* 25th September 2021
We went again for breakfast and had the Bills garden plate, wasn't disappointed. Food was great 4 years on and service was brilliant too!
Loving the new look also!
M.
Lovely breakfast & super friendly staff!
S. R.
Had the Buttermilk Chicken burger. It was succulent and tasty. Came with rosemary fries and chipotle Mayo that was not too spicy but still with a zing. Others had the mac cheese, eggs royale and sausages. All well received. Service was fast and friendly. Main meals and a drink each for five of us (one a 5 yo) came to £75 so I'll leave it to you to decide if what was worth the good food!
S. V.
Very nice breakfast, friendly staff and an interesting theme to the whole place. Has character. Definitely worth going to, with the price not terrible either. They also will go an extra length to make your breakfast how you want it - my friend ordered the vegetarian breakfast with bacon, which they were happy to do, and which looked and smelled delicious.
F. R.
Great staff really nice crew, a very nice looking restaurant. The food was tasty we asked what we should choose and went with their recommendation. Very nice food and a wonderful eating out experience. Perfect give it a go for yourself. We where happy and think you will be too.
M. P.
Good service, nice food, reasonable prices for a city chain restaurant. However, shan't be returning as the meal experience was marred by the incredibly loud, discordant and decidedly atmosphereless music. The louder the music the louder people spoke and it worked in reverse. The nice waitress did make an attempt to lower the music and was clearly over ridden. Fortunately there are far better restaurants to enjoy a meal in relative peace in Brighton.
K. B.
The atmosphere in Bills was so christmasy and the food delicious .the Christmas cocktail was lovely ...friendly staff .
A. c.
Went as part of a rather large Xmas party. Have been to Bills previous in Chichester and Lewes so knew the food was going to be good. Dealt with a big crowd very well and all aspects of the dinner were well cooked. Staff were attentive and looked after us incredibly well and wouldn't hesitate to go back or recommend to others
R. P.
Good restaurant overall when it comes to food and venue. Used to go to Bill's quite often but went recently and honestly think that the staff could use some training on existent pronouns and how/when to use them or not use them at all. Thinking about the fact that Brighton has a big LGBT community, this also means that people might like to be treated by he, she or they so referring to customers as "Ladies and Gentleman" might not be appropriate and make people feel uncomfortable as they might not identify as female or male.
D. C.
I really like Bill's. They have a tremendous selection of food and drink, the staff are nice and attentive too.
Today, however, a completely different experience. The place was busy, which is great I love a bit of bustle and atmosphere! and there were 5 of us in the group, but it took painfully long (30m+) to get served today in an acceptable amount of time.
I am holding myself back from asking disingenuous questions or giving advice that clearly is a dig, however this place really shouldn't be able to hold that amount of people if the kitchen can't support it.
We were showing a colleague round Brighton and thought an hour would be enough for a spot of lunch, but all that's happened here is we won't be coming back, that's how painful it was.
Food amazing, service needs serious work!
J. B.
Can't fault our visit yesterday, the staff make it a real pleasure visiting here, the food is consistently great, it's well designed & decorated inside, and the menu is varied enough to cater for everybody. Casual dining, done really, really well. It's no wonder Bill's has done so well
D. B.
Great restaurant where breakfast, brunch and lunch are always delicious. Relaxed atmosphere, would recommend
J. W.
First visit and a good one it was fathers day with good offers,the only negative was no draft lager although it was replaced with bottles at draft price, service and food were both excellent.
H. H.
We had breakfast here today and it was so good! Lovely atmosphere and great service. The pancakes are delicious! My stepdad had the eggs benedict and it looked and smelt amazing and my mum had a big bowl of the coconut porridge. We loved it so much we are planning on going back tomorrow!
S. G.
Great food, liked restaurant and decor, friendly staff.
P. S.
Very good lovely food good friendly and efficient staff .
I. S.
Lovely breakfast recommend it for all dietary needs . Will be back for more .
P. C.
Nice lunch here for a group of five of us. A variety of high quality, tasty dishes were enjoyed including garlic and herb bread, eggs royale and fish finger sandwich. Nice drinks and coffee too.
G. D.
Difficult one as the food is great, but they're sooo busy, it took 45 mins for halloumi fries and squid to come. Then the main come, minus the chips, the server said it comes like that so I downloaded the menu and it's supposed to come with chips!
There's a 12.5% tip built in, whether service is good or bad (something I'm not a fan of). The server then left without saying she's off, which I'd expect with a 12.5% mandatory tip, as customer services should be spot on, IMO. So there's the dilema on a score.
They were super busy, they got through service, think everyone was chipping in, hence not knowing about chips as think it was the bar person, the house white wine is not good, I'd scrap that and get a nicer one as reminded me of a Greek or Spanish night wine in resort!
Food quality is 4-5 stars when right, everything else is 3 star with a hefty tip, like it or not, but overall it was OK.
S. B.
Thursday lunch with 7 work colleagues. A busy place with lots of interesting 'Brighton' types. Was expecting more of a greasy spoon. But this was different, Good All Day Breakfasts but in an interesting atmosphere with nice decor and interesting objects. Greatly enjoyed and good food, but not 5 stars as quite expensive (£12 for Eggs Royal and Chips).
A. H.
Had a delightful breakfast, no panic on being served, interesting decor,
Staff were attentive but not intrusive,
At the same time they were able to chat and advise on the food and surroundings
D. B.
Great food, superior service. Would definately dine again...
C. B.
Great restaurant, fab food and drink, great staff. Highly recommended
G. H.
Great service - even for our party of 35! Emailed them a few days before with our pre-orders and there were no problems, even when a couple of people couldn't make it. Had the upstairs seating area to ourselves and about 3-4 waiters. Lovely food and a broad variety on the menu so pretty much everyone had something different.
M. H.
A great place in the heart of Brighton, the service is really good and the food never fails to disappoint. It does get noisy as it's a big open space, but that does add to a pretty nice atmosphere. They do some great cocktails too so worth a look at that menu if you're so inclined.
K. F.
Amazing experience at Bill's Brighton yesterday lunchtime. We were a big group but the friendly staff were very accommodating. We were greeted at the door by a really friendly male member of staff. We were served by a waitress called Ola who gave us just the right amount of time to order. She was really friendly and helpful. The food was brilliant and throughout the meal we felt that we were really looked after. Extra water was brought to the table without us having to ask and it is little touches like this that make a difference. We have been to other Bill's but think the staff at Brighton are really doing it right! Will be back again.
P. W.
Food delicious, service slow.
J. C.
Still as good as all those years ago when I first visited. The food is still on point, just what I needed for a boozy start to the day. Cocktails were tasty too, classic Bloody Mary and the English Garden thing were both delicious and complimented the breakfast.
Bill's serves the best, most fluffiest, most butteriest pancakes in town!!
r. f.
Lovely staff, they replaced my meal and took it off the bill, as I had asked for no parsley on my plate( the first one had it all over) as I hate the stuff! They were very apologetic. Food itself was delicious. Will be back!
A. B.
The Halloumi sticks and the dip were good. Burgers were reasonably good and freshly made. Service was excellent.
M. L.
Excellent food, place and staff. Our food took a while to come but they were very attentive and apologized for the wait
n. t.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Keen to help with food allergies. Food was tasty
S. B.
Fantastic food and brilliant service !
F. C.
Normally pretty good but this time I ordered the steak and got cold fried tomatoes and cold sweet potato fries. They were replaced promptly and everything else was nice. They just let themselves down on this occasion.
J. A.
Lovely decor and menu choice but quite pricey and any sauces etc where charged extra afterwards. Was quite expensive, despite their advertised deals
S. W.
Good service. Very friendly. Efficient and patient waiter. Good food that we didn’t have to wait very long for. Good choice of food. ( could do with a couple more vegetarian options). Nice decor and nice atmosphere. Well
Worth a visit
K. O.
I have been a big advocate for these guys for many years. It is good to see that COVID chaos has not dampened their menu or attentiveness. Great munch served by attentive and friend Lu staff, if I'm honest if go the extra mile to Lewes as the Btn one can be s bit poky and noisey at times but no real biggy 🤪
R. A.
Always love it at Bills! The food was amazing, and our server (I think her name was Lydia?) Was really friendly and helpful. All the service was great and I was nice and warm on such a cold evening. Would recommend ❤️
A. B.
Bill's in Brighton is an absolutely brilliant restaurant. A jewel in an amazing, vibrant, cosmopolitan, friendly, artistic city. The staff were so relaxed, efficient, helpful, happy and friendly. The restaurant itself contains a fascinating eclectic mix of pictures and other items to look at and the food was so delicious. The occasion was an 80th birthday celebration. Thank you to the staff at Bill's for helping to make it a very special occasion.
r. f.
A nice enough breakfast, shame about both our coffees in chipped cups & lipstick marks on the glass. I also really object to having a 12.5% service charge automatically added to my bill.
G. T.
Great food and great service with friendly staff
T.
Service and personel are lovely. The decor is warm and inviting, cosy place for a date! However, we ordered aperol spritz which was bland- very watered down, could not taste the aperol nor the prosecco..!
Shame since I was expecting more from the place 😎
c. p.
Sadly Bill's didn't live up to my expectations. The bacon was rubbery and pre-booked and timings where off so the breakfast all came out at different times and was cold.
Try harder guys!
P.S.It was rather expensive...
D.
Food was very nice but portions are a bit small
J. R.
I've been to a few Bill's restaurants, they're all pretty nice with friendly service, a group of us had breakfasts and everything was nice, my only complaint is that their alcohol hand gel has the smell of cactus, so it smells like tequila, which first thing in the morning when you're hungover is not a good time.
J. O.
Festive brilliance on the interior. Staff were very friendly and helpful, food was great.
T. R.
Sound space for a group of 11 at 1pm on a busy Saturday, initially for 1 hour, then found us an extra half hour. The staff were incredibly friendly despite being rushed, took a very convoluted set of orders from 11 very hungover people, got everything right and the food was just what we needed.
J. S.
Bill i am not sure if you have realised but your shop is closed?? please help steve just cheated on mandy need to catch up with you hun x
V. X.
Nice decent option, had brunch options, breakfast and lunch dishes. Nice portions, friendly atmosphere.
C. T.
Great food, great service. Went here on Super Saturday as part of a party of 26, we pre-booked food, the order was checked on arrival, no changes made to the menu which was great, we were able to add more food with no trouble. The food was hot, delicious and great quality. The staff were attentive, friendly and great at their jobs. Such a good experience, looking forward to visiting other Bill's.
A. B.
Excellent food and service, now serving a reduced menu, and prices have shot up
B. R.
Good tasty lunch with high quality food. Did enjoy, would visit again.
C. C.
Gorgeous decor and a really relaxed atmosphere
R. D.
We had the traditional breakfast and coffees. It was so good we came back the next morning. Lovely staff and setting and the food and coffee was exceptional!
Highly recommend 👌
j. m.
We were lucky enough to get a table straightaway, while we were there a queue started building up. To be fair it was a Saturday lunchtime and the fact people were willing to wait and queue speaks for itself. Very efficient staff, orders were taken 5mins after we were seated and our meals were on the table within 15mins, they didn't dissapoint. The vegetarian breakfast was so nice, very good quality ingredients and the poached eggs were perfect. Would definitely recommend and the 5 stars were well deserved.
D. K.
Walked in, was told we couldn't sit as we didn't have a reservation. I went to their website, made a reservation for 10 minutes time, then walked back in to a table🤣🤣 Interesting hosting techniques, seems flawed
D. C.
Heard good things about these guys so i thought i would give them a go. First impression upon walking in was the open plan welcoming feel to the place. The decor is set around what seems like an old industrial unit with simple layout of wooden table and chairs with deli food items everywhere in old recycled wooden shelving, nice. Saw a group of young women knitting at their table whilst waiting to be served. That was a first but a sense of the welcoming atmosphere.
Was in a rush and actually looking for a quick take-away. The waitress was very accommodating and had my order over to me in record time. Fish fingers and chips gourmet style. Done...
M. L.
Lovely visit for breakfast. Very friendly & polite staff and on point with Covid requirements & the food was spot on. Thank you guys 👍
J. H.
Despite being very busy we didn't feel we were being rushed. We were up in the mezzanine floor which was fine. Food was good quality and well presented. All tips including ones added to the bill are given to the staff (i checked) so we might have been misled on their tips policy, so we left a cash tip.
D. S.
Great breakfast! Visited here around 11am on a Saturday for a late breakfast. We didn’t have a reservation but were seated immediately. I went for the Eggs Royale which was pretty good.
L. P.
Awesome pace, really friendly and kind staff
A. Q.
A lovely open and airy restaurant, with excellent service and wonderful dishes. Bills has something for everyone and it is the only restaurant that I would ever consider ordering a fish finger sandwich (battered fish goujons, chunky homemade tartar sauce and delicious malted bread). A great atmosphere and blueprint for all their restaurants.
D. C.
Good food, great staff, amazing coffee.
Really nice place to go.
D. G.
Food was cracking, service was questionable. Amazing looking interior, really well done! And nice touch with the DJ. Cheesy Chips where insane!
D. A.
One of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had.
F. M.
Very cute decoration. The food is nice.
C. A.
We had breakfast here when we last visited Brighton so we were looking forward to coming back and we werent dissapointed. The place is so interesting, staff are so lovely and the breakfasts are absolutely delicious. I highly recommended this restaurant.
L. P.
Been to a number of Bill's in various locations and Brighton stands out as being the best. Restaurant is beautifully laid out, double volume light and airy with some quirky touches. Service spot on, breakfast was good and very child friendly.
G. Z.
Only came here for a dessert and the sticky toffee pudding was really delicious. Can't really comment the menu in general but the place looked extremely busy which means that they must do something well. It is a bit crowded and noisy, but otherwise nicely furbished, trendy place.
b. w.
Amazing food, friendly staff, great decor. So good we went back the next day for breakfast!!!
D.
Very nice place with friendly staffs members. The prices are okay and the food looks really good. Only needed to wait a couple of minute to get our food ready. I would recommend this place to go out for a meal to anyone.
b. a.
i had a breakfast , i really enjoyed, except the price. it was so expensive for me for small plate but it is okay.
staff is really friendly welcoming and service was outstanding.
P. L.
Bill's is one of the better chain restaurants. The Brighton restaurant has a nice atmosphere and it is easy to get a table at weekends. Food and wine are above average with plenty of choice for vegetarians and carnivores alike. Steaks are expensive.
D. S.
Nice food good vegan/veggie selection big portions. Had to wait ages for olive table share but we were given some foccacia and olive oil as an apology.
A. S.
I went here with a friend for brunch near the peak hour. The wait time was minimal, and our orders came relatively fast. This place is bit on the pricer side for a brunch restaurant, but the atmosphere and the food are amazing.
T. Z.
Food was awesome and staff so helpful and friendly would highly recommend this place
T. F.
We had a very nice breakfast at this place.
I didn't try the traditional English breakfast but ordered a healthier one with yoghurt, oat crispy and fruits.
It was really nice.
Moreover the service was very friendly so definitively a great place to go.
B. T.
The food was nice, just very expensive for what it is.
We went for an evening meal and i know the breakfasts are pretty good
I had a duck pie, which had mash potato on the top, there was nothing else with it apart from some shredded red cabbage on a very small dish. Would have been nice if it came with some vegetables or some thing to make it a meal.
This pie was £11.95 and it did not really have much duck in it, so i will prob avoid Bills for evening meals.
M. J.
Had a full english breakfast with the wife and the in laws this morning and was blown away, not just the food but the service also. Such a lovely restaurant in the heart of Brighton! I could not fault a single thing and will be returning there shortly for a birthday meal. I can not wait. Thanks
E. P.
Had a super lunch very cool, atmosphere and lovely food staff were excellent.
m. p.
Very nice food and friendly staff
P. T.
Beautiful restaurant! The staff were polite and well organised! I would highly recommended the sea bass. This was my first time at a Bills restaurant and I was really impressed.
S. B.
Beautiful food me and my partner went her yesterday and it was lovely plates and cup got cleared quickly and offered coffee so didn't feel like we was getting pushed out. Me and my partner was happy with price cause of how well the food was done x

If you're in Brighton and you're looking for a solid brunch spot, look no further than Bill's. This eatery offers a wide selection of breakfast/lunch/drink options. My team of 8 colleagues was easily seated and had very quick service throughout our dining. Did I mention it's very vegetarian friendly? Plant-based alternatives are all the rage these day's and Bill's spotted the trend a mile away. You'll find the interior warm and inviting, borderline family style eating set inside a renovated bus depot. You can't get much more Brighton than Bill's!

Welcoming lively envirnment with very friendly and attentive staff. Most importantly the food we ordered was delicious. Really good voucher given offering a free bottle of wine up to the value of £20 with any 2 main meals ordered- runs up to 12th aug 18. I'll be revisiting Bills for sure.
P. N.
Enjoyably experience, I would go again, excellent service and the vegetarian options are satisfactory.

Been a few times and tried a few different things off the breakfast and normal menu.has never disappointed. Service is good, food is even better. Will definitely be back. Sweet as a nut.

It is a franchise restaurant, Mediterranean style with a extended menu and options for all needs, meat, fish, veggie. The price is good and the quality of the product is excellent. Like a franchise I think the rest of the places around the country should be the same.

Great service people, who make your stay memorable! Enjoyed the food and the interior too. Great they advertise the option to have a burger without buns directly in the menu!
J. W. A.
Always get good food at Bill's!

Went New Years Day 12 of us and service and food fab
J. C.
Nice food, nice atmosphere. Okay price. I had the 3 stack pancakes with bacon. Plus a potatoe rosti. Perfect amount of food filled nicely. Very busy but quick service and clean tables.
R. K.
Good food, menu options and great value. . I loved the decor, the ambience. Friendly wait staff, although we got a slow waitress. Food made up for it though
T. S.
Traditional dining with real portions!
Always consistent quality at all branches I've visited - the Brighton North Road branch has the felling you've stepped back in time and are sat in an old converted garage or fire station.
Great place to meet friends and catch up on the events from the night before!
Top marks for the clasic full English breakfast to sooth the morning after feeling.
Enjoy!

Great breakfast and coffee served by very friendly staff 💙👣⚡☕️🥓🍳

Great food, without any pretentiousness, at reasonable prices. Always enjoy a meal at Bill's and the Brighton restaurant did not disappoint. The Chocolate Bombe dessert is incredible!
P. C.
Great breakfast and bloody Mary's.
N. R.
I love the veggie breakfast at Bills and the kids liked their beans on toast and bread basket too. It's not cheap, but the quality food, friendly staff and a quirky atmosphere make Bills a good place for the occasional treat.
L. B.
Great service and good quality food. A little pricey for some dishes compared to other restaurants e.g. breakfast options especially if you want to add an extra which most places include as standard e.g. beans.
H. W.
Lovely tea only let down by poor customer service when we arrived. We were made to wait for a table even though there were at least two free tables that were not reserved. We were finally allowed to sit down with our two tired young children after several heated conversations with the rather patronising head waiter when we kept pointing out the free tables. Not particularly child-friendly, no colouring activities either, surprising for Brighton which is known for being family friendly.
M. M.
Excellent food,great atmosphere, awesome service 👍

Love going to bills for its food and atmosphere. Open for breakfast lunch and dinner.
P. G.
Excellent restaurant with a great food choice. The staff are very friendly and professional and always happy to help. Lovely vibe there too.

Great food and very good service 👍
J. S.
Fantastic restaurant with a lovely buzzing atmosphere- aided by the friendly, attentive and efficient staff Team who served me throughout the evening .
Great food and lovely cocktails!
An extremely well managed restaurant- highly recommended!
j. h.
went the other day-- i swear its been a victim of its own success, or has the whole chain changed hands? either way for me its lost its spark..
I was in there yesterday. Had the Super green smoothie.....it was kept in a container (not made fresh to order) and obviously had been kept too long because the apple or grapes in it had gone off /sour and the juice tasted 'fizzy' .....and the Juice was £4.30. The waitress said " oh if we think it is we will get back to you " (like she didn't trust me) ....and then she tested it back in the kitchen area and lo and behold it was fizzy ! The manager watched all this, and saw it came from my table: no apology from her.
The service , although polite was slow and the £8.95 or whatever it was for the fish finger sandwich (which was pretty boring really) and some over cooked chips ........so would i come again ? No thanks !!
M.
Was at Bill's Brighton Restaurant for breakfast and it was great. Very good food for a reasonable price. Loved the Garden Breakfast.
The staff was very attentive and friendly. Next visit we will definitely come again!
C. W.
Thanks for a lovely relaxed evening with great food and great service. Kids loved it, we loved it. Staff were amazing - keep up the good work!
l. b.
Stopped off for Sunday brunch whilst visiting Brighton for the weekend. Very good quality food, nice bustling atmosphere and quirky decor. Expect a queue as it does get busy, but have to wait long to be seated or served. Not the cheapest option, but worth the money.
A. M. (.
Bills Breakfast... Gotta be one of (if not the best) full English fry ups around!
Literally can't get enough of this! Very moderately priced as well.
There's a reason this place is ALWAYS packed so definitely make a reservation if there are a few of you going.
W.
Great experience, everything was perfect. Special mention to the staff who were excellent!
A. D.
Such a shame. Bills used to be great five or so years ago but now it's just generic high street restaurant food. Not bad value but it used to be special. I note that the original Bill is 'no longer involved in running the company but retains a stake', and it's now majority owned by a millionaire restaurateur. Sounds like he took the money and ran, good for him I guess.
N. S. A. L.
The staff is great and the menu is good, but they don't know how to cook burgers medium. We tried twice but every burger was dry. We won't be going back, sadly.
K. A.
Bill's is a restaurant based on a formula - clone restaurants run by managers with food that lacks flair in a pleasant setting. Whenever I eat there, it feels like it lack a soul. More like upmarket fast food chains.
s. m.
Lovely food and drinks. Good service and attentive staff. Covid guidelines followed.

Had a lovely meal here great food, friendly and helpful staff. And they even gave us a bottle of wine free as it was my birthday. Definitely recommend this restaurant
M. P.
Beautiful food, wonderful service. What more do you want 👍👌
P. B.
Great service and good. The restaurant had a really lively atmosphere. On top of that they mixed bananas with espresso, amazing idea!
A. T.
I've had bill before and wasn't massively impressed, this was a completely different story! The food was amazing with such attention to detail! The price was very reasonable and the service was amazing too! Couldn't award anything less that 5 stars!
G. S.
Very nice! Perfect for brunch!!!
K. M.
Really gone down hill in recent years. Slow service, limited options. Over priced for poor quality ingredients. Nothing like what it used to be. Good location and the new refurb is very nice. I miss old bills when it was only this one and Lewes. They obviously massively cut back when they went national
R. L.
Relaxed atmosphere to share time with friends over brunch. This restaurant is a bit bigger than other Bills so the was a bit more space around us.
R. C.
Very lovely place!
The staff was so kind and the place is just awesome! Great food and such a nice atmosphere! I would recommend anyone!!!
E. P.
Fabulous place for breakfast. We were placed on these really comfy arm chairs; I could have sat there all day! The staff were very friendly and the food was delicious and came in large portions.
S. P.
Really nice breakfast food - had bacon pancakes - and good atmosphere, service and covid guidelines. Would recommend!

This has been a favourite hangout of mine since I was about 18-19 and managing a bar. Sunday brunch and, in fact, breakfast on any day of the week was a total treat for me. That was... erm... a few years ago, but it is still a top notch joint. I’ve since taken my daughter for a scrumptious pre-gig brekky and babycino which she adored, and I was glad to take my fella here on a trip to Brighton 2 years ago, after having raved about it to him.
Bloody Mary’s are on point.
And always worth a check of all the beautiful fresh and canned goods for sale - these make great gifts for those near or far.
Service is still fab and friendly all these years later, and is part of the reason Bill’s is what it is.
N. B.
Great place to eat. Food is delicious. Staff are very friendly and approachable. Thank You for making my partners birthday special.

Nice breakfast, good service as usual. Not sure when but baked beans are no longer provided
D. K.
Great food great staff
J. G.
Pretty good fry-up. Good wheelchair access.
A. G.
As always, Bill's Brighton is a fantastic little restaurant that serves delicious, healthy food at reasonable (ish) prices. The staff are friendly, if often rushed off their feet. It's in the most wonderful warehouse and is a lovely experience all around.
G. W.
Staff were very friendly, starters and pudding were nice but main portion was small and bland. ( chicken skewers ).
S. N.
Excellent breakfast and fantastic turmeric latte, will be here for the next 5 days as a breakfast spot
b. c.
It looked amazing food was good ,I found that if you got a starter,main and dessert if could get a bit pricey but great as a treat like a birthday etc
R. M.
Excellent menu and service.
S. F.
Amazing breakfast!
Staff are warm and friendly, and the breakfast was superb - will definitely be coming back when next in Brighton! Thank you!
s. e.
Spot on our Norwegian waitress was great so was the grub 😊😊😊
R. L.
We're always cold when we go here. It's a big cavernous room with only one door straight onto the street so when someone goes in or out there's quite a draught. There is a kind of canvas curtain to create a makeshift porch but it's not that effective.
Also last time we went they completely forgot our order. After waiting for about 30 minutes we asked where the food was and they realised they'd overlooked us. We got a free drink which was some consolation, but will probably leave it a while before returning.
C. D.
Great choice of food, breakfast is amazing and always buzzing with atmosphere, busy but well worth it, plus you can always buy some of your favourite produce to take home with you! Highly recommended.
R. B.
Great food and reasonably priced. Loved the decor too ! Bit of a wait of the food but worth it.
M. C.
Absolutely fabulous food. Great atmosphere and the staff are really friendly and helpful. 18th birthday cocktail thrown in as well
T. B.
Always a great option for Sunday morning. Some of the best veggie breakfasts around (meat versions are available) and a great atmosphere. Tends to be busy so have a back-up ready.
R. P.
It's become a ritual to have breakfast at Bill's whenever I stay in Brighton. Excellent service and really friendly staff. Particularly recommend the pancakes and the watermelon & raspberry smoothie.
B. N.
Great service and great menu
J. G.
Great Fri up for Friday morning♡! Waiters were kind, offered to move us upstairs! The black pudding was v flavoursome! Yummy!
A. W.
I like this Bill's one of the originals and one of the best. Great warehouse style interior and good food, great for breakfast lunch or dinner. Can get busy at peak times do you may have a short wait
J.
Good meal, good service.
L. I.
I had high expectations, but the risotto was average. My friends weren't very impressed either. Food takes a while.
D. P.
Had a great experience for lunch today. Really safe and great food. Recommended. Beetroot Wellington is gorgeous.
C. M.
Very hip restaurant, good service. We had breakfast and all agreed it was well made. Reasonable pricing for a city restaurant cant complain.
R. E.
Great place...brill menu for any time of day. Quick service, good prices and they have a mezzanine level for a quieter chat and admire the goings on below.
H. S.
This restaurant is well decorated. The food is very tasty. Have a vegetarian menu. Staff kind and attentive. To come again.
M. M.
Bills never fails to impress for the world of gluten free
W. “. H. M. R.
A good set menu but the meal took 3 hours to complete and the (optional) service charge was a high 12.5% considering the wait.
R. S.
Great place to stop for lunch. A little pricey, but we'll worth it in my opinion. Staff were friendly and service was great. Food was hot and tasty.
N. B.
Our daughter has been studying at Brighton University, and just graduated. We came down for her graduation, and she booked a table for us for the evening before.
What a quality restaurant! Great food, good wine, fantastic staff, we couldn`t have asked for a better place to go, (especially when Brighton has probably the most eateries in Britain, ha ha!).
In a converted bus garage too, so unusual. Absolutely delighted with the whole place. Keep up the good work, and thanks again to the lovely staff.
All our kind regards,

It's ok. The beacon and sausage was good. The streak was overdone. My latte was nowhere to be found. Bathrooms are as great as the atmosphere.
s. b.
Lovely meal with great service. Good menu with enough variety and food done very well. Nice place for couples or families
C. T.
Food great,staff great ,music and all round fantastic place
B. C.
Pretty dissapointing brunch for the price and service is very slow (but we were there at the peak time on a Saturday). I recommend booking ahead of time if you're coming when it's busy, many people were being turned down.
S.
Good for atmosphere, menu limited, ok for burger.
G. R.
I have only been here for breakfast and they make a good bacon sandwich and coffee. I'm not likely to return though as this place is very popular with families with young children and the large room doesn't absorb any noise, making this pretty uncomfortable
A. d. W.
Loved the food and setting. Hadn't been there for a few years, excellent service in difficult times.
Z. P.
In 2011, on a long sunny day that was turning into a balmy evening, I first visited Bill's. With the doors flung open to the warm night air, the elderflower proscecco flowing and some delicious food keeping my tummy happy, it was easy to love Bill's. Two years later - on a grey day, a Monday even - I stepped through those doors hoping that my memory hadn't served me wrong... Even without the sunshine, this place did not disappoint. The veggie breakfast here (with avocado and hummus on toast, poached eggs with chilli oil and mushrooms) was so good that it made me ashamed of other veggie breakies I've had and liked!
C. D.
Terrific, great staff
I. D.
My partner thought the fish pie was good but at £13.25 It's not cheap. My "minute" steak, egg & chips was ok - nothing to rave about. Frozen French fries should remain in McDonald's.
