    I booked Bills as a birthday treat for my friend. On arrival we were greeted by a very friendly and polite server who asked where we’d like to sit. I ordered the pork belly and my friend ordered the bourbon burger. We also had a side of mixed bread with olive oil dip. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The pork belly was very succulent and melted in the mouth. My friend said it was the nicest burger he’d had in a long time. Drinks and food were served quickly considering it was quite busy. A very enjoyable meal.

    We visited the restaurant as a large group to celebrate my daughter’s birthday, and we had a fantastic experience from start to finish. The food was outstanding, and the service was equally impressive. Although the restaurant was short-staffed, the gentleman working went above and beyond to make sure all of our needs were met. He was incredibly attentive, friendly and apologetic whenever he felt the service might be taking a little longer — although, honestly, we never felt that the service was slow at all! It was clear that he was working incredibly hard, and his effort and attitude really made a difference to our experience. Nothing was too much trouble, and he made sure our daughter had a lovely birthday celebration. A huge thank you to both members of staff for making our visit so enjoyable. We would definitely return and highly recommend the restaurant!
