Ate here recently. Walked in the door and was pleasantly surprised when I walked in, the decor is lovely, looks very polished. Unfortunately that's where the pleasant surprises stopped. We ordered items that were labelled to suit people who may be in a rush, not that we were, but it just so happened that they both were in this category. We thought that this was a nice little addition to a menu and a good offering for customers. However once the food came, it was apparent that these were quick due to the fact that they had most likely been sitting, pre prepared, under a heat lamp. I had a burger...didn't expect much with that, not a lot to get wrong, fairly standard offering. The burger was completely dry, the veg was wilted, and I nearly broke my tooth trying to get through the added bacon (this may sound like an exaggeration, however I tried breaking it with my hands to show my partner and could barely do so). The chips were also undercooked, dried out and stodgy. I chose to only inform the waiter of the bacon as opposed to the whole meal, as there's not much she can do to improve the quality of food that they offer on a whole...and the member of staff said that the bacon was maybe a bit "sticky", so I informed them that it wasn't "sticky", but more so "solid". The service unfortunately matched the food, they were nice, but didn't care for what they were doing and saw no consequence to it.The final note that I would advise fixing would've to locate the air conditioner somewhere other than right above the stairs to the bathrooms. As you can imagine, if you have a restaurant with an already smelly toilet area, and then you choose to blast your fresh air from directly above that, then the smell is no longer confined to the one location. Overall, I'd advise investing more on training and service offering that matches the heavily invested upon decor...currently mutton dressed as lamb unfortunately. £55 down the drain, however a lesson learned as I will not be returning!

Went for a celebration brunch. Loved the interior and the window view. Waitress was very friendly and helpful. My buttermilk pancakes and pressed juice were delicious. My husband enjoyed the brunch but felt the portions were not very generous - small slices of streaky bacon, small amount of mushrooms, etc. - and felt it was overpriced. Nearly £30 in total and 12% optional service charge added to the bill. We didn't mind paying this as the service had been good but don't like the concept as it would be embarrassing to ask to have it removed from the bill. Overall really enjoyed our visit but not the best value for money, possibly due to the location. I would rate it GOOD (rather than average or very good).

Having been to a few Bills now post Covid, all seem the same. It didn't feel like apart from the temperature check on entry anything had really been done. Tables in my opinion were extremely close together didn't look like any had been removed. Staff wearing masks below their nose rendering them effectively pointless. Am sure if any on the spot checking were to be done this would not be good.

Decor, food and service was very nice , but felt very uncomfortable that staff who served us didn't wear their masks over their noses. This completely defeats the point of wearing a mask, and they kept leaning in very close to our faces.

From the welcome, to the service and quality of food, every element of our lunch was perfect. We were served by Antonio who was very welcoming and friendly and went out of his way to make sure we had a really enjoyable experience, his colleagues were equally efficient and friendly too. Our party of four had a mix of starters, main courses, and puddings which were all well cooked, tasty, and of a good portion size. The Flower Pot desert was a real surprise and delight.The wine list was varied with some excellent options, our party tasted the Malbec, Rosé, Sparkling Rosé and Sauvignon Blanc which were good value.

We took advantage of the extended "Eat Out to Help Out" scheme which Bill's is running until the end of September (on their set menu). Really glad we did - £10 instead of £20 for a really delicious sirloin steak - what's not to like?. Reduced prices on the starters and desserts as well, which were also delicious, so we were really impressed with our first visit to this restaurant. Hope all the other restaurants in the chain are as good as Richmond because we will be trying some out before long. Lunchtime was busy but there was a nice atmosphere and there was no particular rush so didn't mind a little delay before our starter arrived, but Antonio looked after us well and did a great job. Thanks Antonio, the chef's and all the staff for making our visit so enjoyable.

Took some people for a birthday brunch inc kids around mid morning. Pancakes looked great and kids loved them. Very sweet and well intentioned server too. Eggs Benedict were ok , kind of functional rather than ‘yum’. The brunch though was rank ...Beans (in a jug) had a skin over the top, eggs were hard/overcooked and the fried potatoes obviously re-warmed from what tasted like the day before. Toast was cold too. Not, cooling off from the toaster. Cold, like from 2 hours earlier. But for having guests With me, I would have sent it back. People on the table next to mine had the same and I could tell they weren’t happy either. £13 for a mediocre fry up is pretty ridiculous especially when there are great alternative restaurants within a 1 min walk. It wasn’t busy either so to resolve , either dump the chef or stick to the pancake specialities. Clearly he/she is incapable of serving up both. Would return with children but for adults , forget it .....amateur hour....

The breakfast came very quick, and the food was ok. Bacon nice and crispy. Didn't like the way the waitress gave a sob story about how they only receive a small portion of the service charge and asked us to tip more on top of that. We're not made of money and eating out is already very expensive.

I am extremely annoyed with Bills in Richmond. This morning (08.03.20) my boyfriend called at 9:45am to see if we could get a table for two for breakfast with a puppy. The guy who answered for Bills said that if we got to the restaurant by 10:30am he would be able to organise a table for us. Me, my boyfriend and our puppy then rushed out of the house, drove over to Richmond, parked in the NCP and walked to Bills to get in and the guy to say “no we have no tables for you”. We wasted our Sunday morning, wasted petrol and parking money all because we were told he would fit us in and then just turned us away with not a care in the world even when I explained the effort we had gone to to get to Bills under his instruction!!! I can’t believe Bills has someone so rude head of house. Terrible manners, terrible service and we will never go to Bills in Richmond again.

Visited Bill’s in Richmond recently for the first time (actually it was my first visit to any Bill’s restaurant). Arrived late for our meal along with my friend we were seated with our friends who had already arrived and had a drink. We caught up with each other and had our drinks and food orders ready but no sign of anyone coming over to take our order. For over 15 minutes we tried to catch someone’s eye as they served other nearby tables but it was impossible. It started to rankle as it felt like they were deliberately avoiding any eye contact, my friend and I were parched after spending ages trying to get a parking space! Eventually I went to the bar to ask someone to come over and take our order. NB: this was a Tuesday and the restaurant wasn’t even at 25% capacity and there was no shortage of staff.Once I said we’d been waiting for a while to place an order someone came over straight away and the service improved dramatically. With our orders placed and our “mocktails” brought over fairly quickly, we chatted whilst waiting for our food. We had some garlic bread to start to ensure we could finish our main courses (and leave space for dessert). I had a chicken dish which was absolutely delicious - I cleaned my plate completely, it was that lovely! One of my friends had the fish pie which she loved. We all opted for dessert and between us we had apple & rhubarb crumble, lemon meringue (I think that’s what it was), ice cream and I had the most amazing banoffee doughnuts YUMMY! The staff were very attentive once they had taken our food and drinks orders.The toilets were in the basement so not the easiest to access if you have mobility issues, and I didn’t notice if there were separate disabled facilities on street level. The décor within the restaurant was quaint and quite endearing. I would return to Bill’s again as I have a hankering for that chicken dish I had. Bill’s is not a cheap restaurant but you’re not going there for fast food so do expect it to be priced accordingly. Our bill came to around £28 a head and a service charge was automatically added to our bill. Overall it was a good experience at Bill’s marred only by the neglect early on in the evening. I’m looking forward to returning at some stage, or even try a more local branch soon.

Vegetarian Wellington came with actual 70's Smash instead of actual mash potato. I knew because you could see and taste the flakes because they hadn't put enough boiling water with it! The tender stem broccoli doubled as tooth floss. My daughter's 1st macc n cheese was burned and went back. The second was edible but it tasted like a processed sauce rather than a fresh cheese sauce - the least you'd expect for £10.95 for a small dish. The staff were friendly at least. Bill's used to be good but this was terrible.

The roast potatoes tasted like they were from frozen in a packet, my fish was over cooked and the sticky toffee Christmas pudding was bone dry.

Lovely lunch at Bills. Antonio’s service was outstanding, so kind, considerate and helpful to my friends 3 year old. Definitely come back and ideal for families.

Fantastic food, service, and atmosphere. This was my first time in London and out of the 3 days I spent there, 2 of my mornings I spent dining at Bills overlooking river Thames. I had the garden breakfast and also the fruit pancakes and both were to die for. The server Anna was such a sweet and caring soul and made sure I was comfortable and had the best view! Definitely recommend including Bills in your Richmond dining experience.

Situated on the bridge overlooking the river Bills is in a great spot. Staff are friendly and efficient and the menus is clear and straightforward. Lots of table room and no pressure to move on.

I'd like to thank all the team, especially Antonio - our amazing server and the very nice and attentive manager (a lady with long dark hair, sorry I don't know the name) for making our afternoon truly special. We have taken a lot of time and space on a busy Saturday afternoon, but not even once did we feel unwelcome or in the way. Everyone was so nice, food was great, service fast and professional and drinks kept flowing:)

My partner and I went in for brunch this morning (2 x garden breakfasts and a pot of tea) and it was absolutely delicious! The decor of the place is stunning, inside and out, and the service was amazing- thanks to our server Antonio who was perfect. Probably the best brunch I’ve had in Richmond, will definitely be going back!

Just had quick lunch. Very good and hot fish pie. Waiter came out to check was ok. Highlight was the warm welcome from the young Hungarian manager. Excellent service with a big smile.

Last night I went to Batterfly for takeaway fish and chips. Although there is another chippy nearer to my home it is impossible to better Abdul's cooking. The love and care that Denise and Abdul put into their food is beyond comparison. I had Cod and it was cooked to perfection - as always! The fish is poached in a very light batter and the chips were just on the edge of crispy. Wonderful! What would we do without you! C&MK

We really appreciated the welcome , preparation, care and attententiveness shown to our family and guests by Jackson and his staff for my family wake. Jackson was kind, sensitive and thoughtful from the planning right through to the hosting on the day which was reflected by his team too. Many people commented on the welcome , tasty food , and thoughtful service. A special thank you for helping with the music too. We would highly recommend Jackson and the Tapestry to others .

Almuerzo pre-navideño con amigos. Tengo que decir que no es nuestra elección habitual, que tal vez se quedaron un poco sorprendidos cuando dije fish and chips! La primera vez allí, pero me habían recomendado. No decepcionado. El restaurante estaba limpio, acogedor, encantador ambiente tranquilo. Excelente comida y servicio. Gran valor. ¡Otras opciones disponibles si no quieres pescado pero te lo estarías perdiendo! No dejes que el frente de la tienda de pescado y papas fritas te desanime.

Well, we were here today for a Mothers Day lunch. We’d been a couple of years ago and it’s been decorated since then. It looks much better. We looked at some of the meals been served nearby and they all looked decidedly underwhelming and a bit “ greasy spoon cafe”. So, undeterred we thought we’d play it safe. We just ordered mains. One daughter had the mussels and my wife, myself and our other daughter had the roast chicken. The chicken was really nice but the vegetables were overdone, the Yorkshire pudding was a limp sponge and my roast potatoes looked like boiled ones. Having said all that I did polish everything off and it was quite tasty. Jess said her mussel sauce was a bit bland and the portion was small for a main course. As for the positives: the wine was good, my gluten free beers were great, our cocktails (quite a few of them) were very good and so was my coffee. But everything took an age to come out of the kitchen and one of the blokes bringing it out looked like he’d been sleeping in a duvet in the nearest bus shelter. Our waiter, the only English chap, was excellent but he had to keep apologising for the slow service. For Richmond, the prices were not bad and we actually had a very nice time - but then we are a family that gets on and pretty much always have a good time when we are out. In essence, it’s a good place in some ways but a gastro pub it is not.
