Bill's in Chelmsford - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

A very enjoyable experience. Nice and polite staff. Drinks were a bit too steep but the daughters student discount code made it more comfortable. The food was as it should be no complaints here

Had breakfast a couple of times while staying in the area. The food was great and so was the coffee. I had avocado on sourdough and added scrambled eggs, it was delicious. Our waitress was very kind and attentive. Highly recommend!

Had breakfast here three times this week while visiting Essex. Our Servers, Veronica once, and Katy twice, were AMAZING! Fantastic service, food and environment!

Honestly fed up of trying to give this place benefit of the doubt. Food is always stone-cold and yet served on top of plates hot enough to give you third degree burns- I reckon microwave technicians are at work. They managed to cook my eggs with a hard yolk and yet runny whites, I didn’t even know that was possible. £18 for that and a coffee, naaa you’re alright. Normally the service slightly redeems this restaurant, but this morning was so lack-lustre. The server genuinely didn’t smile once, and came across like she literally couldn’t be a*sed. I quite like a Bill’s, the one in Braintree would score higher in all areas, but this one sucks.

Came here for a bite to eat before going out, staff were very polite and service was good. Small note alcoholic drinks were served like normal three of us ordered cokes as we were driving and we were literally given a can of coke for about 2 quid each it should of really been poured out at the bar and given hut we had to do this??? 4 of us ordered pancakes and buttermilk chicken with bacon however 2 of ours turned up with sweet chilli sauce over the chicken and 2 didn't however the complaint was made by us that had the sweet chilli sauce as that doesn't go very well with pancakes and syrup??? So we were very disappointed and were left scraping it off. Overall it was OK there but I wouldn't be going back again

Very nice location, squid was delicious but service leaves a lot to be desired. There was only couple tables with people and service was very slow/ unorganised. Paying bill was taking ages.. at the end we got up and went to pay at leave.

Lovely food and great service! Thank you!

It could be better if the management took a step back and looked at the quality of food, when dishes are served eg after a wait our appetizers arrived followed shortly by starters before we had finished. A no no in my book. A little check on the service to improve it a bit, subtle touches its not bad just could be better

Good food, reasonable pricing vs portion and quality, but can do with some improvement. Good service (though there is a service charge applied) so i would expect the standard to be very attentive at the very least. Though on our visit the service was slow. All in all recommended.

We went for breakfast on Tuesday and sat outside. The food was lovely, as always, and the service was great, nothing was too much trouble. We were primarily served by Sophie who was friendly and made us extremely welcome, happy to help with questions and recommendations, thank you😊

Great service. Accommodated large walk in group (7 adults, 10 children) with no bother. Friendly service from Maddi.

Service, food and drinks were excellent,and staff were also excellent.

Sophie was a great help, and very pleasant. Thanks!

Kristof was fantastic. Fast service, fantastic food.

Great service lovely food. Thank you Julia 😊

Great brunch at Bills. Food was soooo good and service from Maddie was brilliant! Will defo return

We had a lovely lunch at Bills! The burgers are divine and the staff were lovely. Veronica gave us excellent service!

Very nice breakfast, Izabella was very attentive and friendly.

Came here for lunch and the food was amazing, the service was great from our waiter Maddi who made sure everything was okay and was good at her job, also the food came out very quick.

Great lunch, alfresco. Bills do the best burgers. The additional side salad was one of the best I have had.

We’ve just had another wonderful breakfast at Bill’s Chelmsford. Sophie made us all feel welcome and created a happy and cheerful atmosphere for us today. Thank you.

Really lovely food , waitress Sophie was really helpful

Our waitress Sophe was very welcoming and lovely. Had a lovely time. Would recommend highly!

Went for a breakfast on Saturday morning and was very happy with it! Food was delicious, especially garden plate, and a nice coffee. Staff was super friendly.

George served us today. He was attentive, gave us suggestions and alternatives to cater to my little daughter. Definitely happy we had brunch at Bills this Sunday. Thank you for the great service again.

Absolutely lovely breakfast. Very good service indeed. Special thanks to Veronice.

Food was great, the service was also great.our waitress Veronica was very attentive and lovely.

Tiffanie and the rest of the team were wonderful!

Average food with occasional tasty bits. Awful wine sold at extortionate prices. Excellent waitress, Veronica, who gladly returned the wine to the sink.

Food was delicious, can recommend the sea bream, very tasty. Veronica, Katy and Alice were extremely helpful and friendly. All in all a really lovely lunch!

Our meal was awful. My self and sister had prawn with Avacado. I ate 1 prawn and it stank and was slimey. I sent it back and asked the chef to taste it. He would not taste it. I have never known a chef to have a complaint and not try the food he has served. Do not recommend to any one

We had a lovely meal, Tiffanie was so friendly! Very accommodating to allergies too :)

Popped in for lunch on a whim. Had a lovely de constructed duck wrap with watermelon. Very flavourful and filling. Lovely servers. Thank you

Fantastic service, delicious food. Such a wonderfully friendly and relaxed place to eat and socialise with friends. I often come here and the food & service is always excellent!

We really enjoyed ourselves fantastic food, our waitress Tiffanie was very welcoming and service was second to none. Big thanks from Naomi and Dwayne

I hope I got name right , but came 4th July for breakfast ! Alex was very accommodating and was helpful , he made our experience so much more enjoyable ! Thank you

Please don't touch the plate. It is really hot. That's true, it was. Shame the food was so cold. Thankfully our waitress Imogen was amazing and a credit to the professionalism of customer service.

Food and atmosphere were great. Veronica was a great hostess.

Veronica and the team were very helpful in accommodating with dietary requirements and were attentative throughout! We'll be back.

We were served by Sophia, lovely manners

The best coffee in town. A hint crunch on the top layer and creamy.

Very nice place but River next to restaurant was smelly and dirty

Lovely experience and very accommodating to our needs! Would recommend Bill's for anyone looking for a lovely meal out!

Waitress was very friendly and professional

Lovely meal in the sunshine. Fabulous service by Khola and Danny. Highly recommended!

Me and the family had a lovely birthday breakfast for my little brother ❤️ the food was amazing, as usual, and our server Tiffanie was really attentive and looked after us amazingly!! 🥰🥰🥰

The food was lovely and all the staff are friendly especially tiffanie

Had a great catch up with friends this eve. Food really lovely and reasonably priced. Our waitress was Tiffanie who greeted us with a smile which is always a bonus. Nothing too much trouble. She even suggested an addition to what I had chosen. Good customer service. An asset to your restaurant! Thank you for making us feel welcome. Well done Tiffanie :)

We went to Bill's for brunch, the food was really tasty, very large portions for the Full English, service was fast and friendly, definitely recommend 👌 👍 😊

Had a great meal today at Bills. Amazing service Katy was very attentive and observant (even going the extra drew miles to bring some cucumber for my nephew) food was great, love the father days dice game too! We will be back

Great food and friendly staff as always.

Unfortunately the kitchen had a few issues today and we ended up with less than satisfactory food. The 5*’s are for the staff and customer service shown. We quietly raised the issue of our food with Lauren and she very kindly removed it from our bill. We will be back to give them a chance to show us what they’re made of very soon. Thank you Lauren for showing outstanding Customer service in an awkward situation.

We came to Bills for breakfast, the food was somewhat disappointing. However, the experience was great. The manager Laura handled the complaints we had with such professionalism. If it wasn’t for her, I’d probably have written off coming to Bills again, but I will come back for breakfast & give them another chance.

Enjoyed lovely breakfast with the family about three Saturdays ago at Bills. Very tasty with lovely choices on menu. Worth a visit✅️

Maddi our server was lovely! They treated our little doggy which was a lovely touch.

We really liked the waiter! The place was nice but the food was disappointing for us. We will come back and try again though :)

Food is banging. Served by Lauren very nice and helpful

Loved the place, our server Katy was super friendly. Definitely recommend

I love Bill's for food, especially in the summer. It's one of my favourite places to go whenever it's sunny and we can sit outside. I love the brunch, the eggs benedict are from my favourite dishes there. The reason why I'm leaving a review is because last time I was there the coffee was terrible. It looked like it was from a machine and did not taste good at all. In fact we barely drunk any. I think Bill's should hire a proper barista to do the coffees, as it is a turndown knowing that you can't order coffee with your brunch.

I recently visited Bills and had a pleasant dining experience. The food was good, offering a variety of dishes that were well-prepared and flavorful. While the prices were just okay, not particularly cheap but not overly expensive either, the overall experience was worth it. The highlight of my visit was the amazing service from Maddi. She was attentive, friendly, and went out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed. Her cheerful demeanor and prompt service made the meal more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend giving it a try.

Big menu. All really good. Great staff.

Lovely brunch as always. Thank you Tiffanie for the fab service.

Tim was a legend. Cool food and good tunes too 😎

came for date night. the vibes were immaculate and tim was great

Always excellent in Bills. Very friendly and warm service from Tiffanie. Food was good and service was fast

Great, quick service and nice food. Service was excellent, especially Tiffanie who was lovely and helpful.

Been couple of times so far and have enjoyed the food and staff service.

Went for brunch and was served by Tim. Great service and amazing food!

Went for bottomless pancakes, our waitress Tiffanie was super friendly and attentive, would definitely recommend the pancakes, so tasty!

Lovely meal, great atmosphere. Maddi was a great waitress and kept in mind an allergy in the group. Thanks

Maddi was an excellent server. Thanks for a lovely meal!!

Because Was amazing always helpful with our group that comes Each month! X

Good food and great service, very friendly

Shawarma plate was nice but pretty dry chicken. The garden plate was more fry up but with avocado and antipasti peppers which was a bit odd. Still a nice experience on the water though.

Great food & fantastic service from Veronica

We had a booth, nice and cosy, the service provided at table 33 was exemplary, attentive but not intrusive. Burger was just as I like it and hot, the beer was cold. All in all a very good evening indeed.

Excellent service we had a big family group and service was quick staff very friendly had a very pleasant birthday meal Food was wonderful and reasonably priced Couldn’t have asked for more

Lovely location on Bond Street over looking the river, good food and service fab, would highly recommend as we would definitely return.

Fantastic restaurant, superb food, great cocktails. Fast friendly service. Had an evening meal, birthday celebration. Great night out.

Poor menu and going in there alone, I felt unwelcome

Thanks to my lovely waitress Imogen , nothing was to much trouble. Was great with my little girl . Definitely recommend for food it was delicious. Staff overall was really happy and jolly . 100% going to go back !

Absolutely amazing food. My children enjoyed their meal and the waiter Tim was amazing and polite

Went today with a large group (32) to celebrate a birthday and had such a lovely afternoon. It went extremely smoothly considering we were such a large group and nothing was too much trouble for the team who looked after us, special shoutout to Becca. Great food and would definitely go again, thank you for having us! Highly recommend, especially if you need a venue for a larger group.

Bill's in Chelmsford was the perfect place for our group of 10 friends to meet. Service was brilliant, staff were amazing, food was great. Nothing was too much trouble for Kristof and Henry, who looked after us. This is our 3rd visit... each time its been just right for us.

Great to sit outside in the warmer weather and be treated to great service! Becca was in charge of our table and made sure everything was just tight and as it was my birthday, gave us a ltl treat which was much appreciated Only small groan was that the coffe was slightly bitter but that was readily changed for a latte so that was soon sorted! A rare treat beside the river with all the wildlife - thoroughly recommend!

Myself, my mum & my nan all had a fantastic meal here. It’s our favourite place to meet as the service & the food is always 10/10. Special shout-out to the lovely Kristof who always looks after us so well. Thank you guys! :)

I have been to Bill's many times and in different locations and have always been happy prior to my most recent visit. I am sad to be writing this poor review. Unfortunately on this occasion the experience was spoilt by my grand daughter's plate of Buttermilk fried chicken and chips. We noticed that she wasn't eating the chicken with as much gusto as usual. She had asked to eat at Bill's as she has had the dish before and said they were the best 'nuggets' that she'd ever eaten. She said they smelled 'funny' and didn't taste nice, (she had eaten two). My daughter tasted one and said it tasted 'fishy'. my husband tasted one and spat it out straight away saying it was off. We told our waiter who called the manager. He went to the kitchen to smell the meal which had been returned and told us it smelled ok. He said he was sorry and that he would take the cost of the meal off of the bill. We didn't think this was enough to compensate for all of our meals being spoilt by the off food and worrying that our Grand daughter would be ill from food poisoning. The manager did give us more money off after negotiating with my husband. The experience felt very uncomfortable as we have never had to send a meal back in a restaurant before. We just wanted a nice meal with our family after an enjoyable morning and certainly weren't after any discounts! Our waiting staff were very efficient and friendly as always but I'm afraid this experience means that we won't be eating there again. I do hope some investigation was made into why the dish/ batch was off. It is worrying to think of other kids being served this meal and the potential for them to be seriously unwell.

We had booked here for a large group for a work dinner. Food all came out hot and fresh! Well organised, all came out together and by name too which was a great touch. Severs were polite and efficient especially Danny!

Food was watery, cold and not worth the price paid! Avocado was definitely defrosted. They gave us a different because it was out of stock without asking first. Shambles.

We had a great experience dining at Bills recently, we went for breakfast as a family of 5 and the service was awesome and the food was amazing. A big shout out to Maddi who was so patient with our ADHD child (We didn't inform her that he was) as he struggles to make decisions when faced with lots, but she was happy to explain stuff to him, or come back if he needed more time.

Normally on arrival if you wish to sit outside you wait to be shown to a table, we waited by the outside desk and when nobody came we opened the door where a waitress was hovering. We asked could we sit anywhere outside, she said yes but we would have to come in to order and pay when we ordered. No welcome, quite rude. We did as requested eventually our coffees arrived, delivered by a waiter with the shakes, more of my coffee was in the saucer than the cup, he put it down on the table, didn't apologise or attempt to clear it up. Normally you get served water with coffee, no water, just very disappointing, only good thing was the lovely warm sunny day and comfy seating in the sunshine

Excellent service, fab vegan breakfast and great to see dogs welcome.

Brilliant 10 out of 10 service from Lauren. She looked after us so well. Played with my daughter and kept her entertained. Lovely soul, deserves a pay rise!

Amazing Food!! The dumplings are delicious and plenty of them. My Nan had the patê and loved it, but wishes there was more than 3 thin strips of bread. The burgers are incredible, the highlight of the trip! So juicy and incredibly filling. Great atmosphere and lovely staff, very attentive and friendly :))

Great customer service We visit for quick breakfast and we ended up having some extra vegan pancakes as a dessert which were delicious . Danny or David was our server and he was very helpful

Great food very professional service . Me and my friend we came for breakfast the food was delicious my favourite part was pancakes.

Great service and lovely lovely lovely experience lovely. Great burgers and drinks and atmosphere and service and yeah

First time eating here, we needed somewhere who were dog friendly, and they certainly were when we were seated they immediately asked if my friends dog would like water😊 the food was great, Veronica was the lady looking after us she was lovely, we didn't wait long for our food and we was not rushed at all, Veronica come over to us to make sure we were happy with everything, we will certainly be going back, we would definitely recommend Bills restaurant in Chelmsford

A great place to celebrate my birthday. The service from Brad and his manager was excellent. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. A lovely time was had by all

We were seated right away, the staff were very polite, there was only a short wait for our food, it was delicious, and not too expensive! I would 100% visit again.
