Bill's in Nottingham

Great location, charming atmosphere, good music. Responsive and attentive workers. Ordered an English breakfast at Cappuccino, it was a very tasty breakfast, which was served very quickly. Charged with energy for the whole day and left with a good mood.

We came in for an early lunch around 12:30pm, and immediately saw they did bottomless pancakes. However, the menu said that they were only served from 3pm-5pm. Our waiter Lee offered to speak to the manager to see if we could get them, and they said yes! The pancakes came so quickly and tasted amazing! Lee was so helpful and friendly, and the atmosphere was great. We definitely recommend coming here!

Always good for Brunch. We were served by a lady called Joanna who was incredibly friendly and helpful!

Staff were very helpful and friendly. Unfortunately the food wasn't great, eggs were cold. the chicken was dry, food arrived within 3 minutes of placing our order.

We had a lovely dinner in the end. Initially, the steak was not cooked as requested. We asked them to cook it again, which they did, but they replaced the entire dish AND took it off the bill! That was not expected at all! Staff were welcoming and friendly, which was not the case in other restaurants that night... I'd definitely visit this branch again.

Called in for breakfast it was very good will defo go again,well done!

Popped in for breakfast and seated quickly - big venue and started filling up as we were in here! I had the eggs royale - poached eggs were absolutely done to perfection! Side of smashed avo to accompany. 20% blue light discount so great place to visit!

Great place to grabbing food and a few drinks.

Thoroughly enjoyed my first visit on Sunday for brunch, joined several work colleagues for a catch up. Would highly recommend

I was there on a busy Saturday evening, their local craft beer is fantastic and so does Philip. He was very kind and fulfilled our requests literally in seconds.

Great food, great atmosphere. We came to Notts simply to go to bills as we had been to the Birmingham one and loved it. Staff were nice, but the food is just exquisite! Returning on the 30th Jan with family for my birthday and already looking forward to the sticky duck

Food arrived mostly cold on a cold plate. This was quickly rectified once I complained. Service and staff were great.

Always a warm welcome and the staff are so accommodating, they find me and my friend a quiet table where we can chat and eat the amazing food!

The restaurant was a great experience, I came midday to have the bottomless pancake and hot drinks selection (which is currently available every Friday). The pancakes were filling and the hot drinks had a lot of variety. Our waiter, Lee, provided amazing service throughout too which added to the value. All in all, with it costing roughly only £10pp made it one of the better brunch spots.

A warm welcome by the staff. Great menu, food was served quick and was excellent quality and taste. Lovely pleasant surroundings and fortunately no need to book midweek. Highly recommend, will visit again.

Absolutely appalled at the way some of the staff made me feel. Took our Grandchildren there for their breakfast as they really wanted the pancakes. The guy who took the order, after the order had been placed, asked if there were any allergies. My eldest Granddaughter mentioned her sister had an allergy to milk. Rather than asking me about this, I had another member of staff demanding she has the vegan option. The only reason I agreed to this was because both children were hungry and I felt very intimidated.My youngest Granddaughter eats ice cream, drinks milk shakes and has cheese on her Pizza!! She has a slight intolerance to green milk if she drinks too much of it,in the form of a slight rash; but that intolerance is better. She's fine, with milk in food. So, also rang my daughter in law to double check. Yes, she can eat the pancakes! What a surprise!!! The vegan one arrived and she found it stodgy and inedible. Good job it was "Kids eat for free week' because one of them didn't eat at all. Never going back to this place. Check your facts and trust that parents and grandparents know their own children/grandchildren. Ask about allergies before taking the order, and listen to the adults in the room; not the 8 and 5 year old children. Disgusting service. I will be contacting head office. Also kids don't eat for free, the restaurant just add an extra few £'s on to the rest of the menu. And, finally; a response! Yes, I will be emailing you.

Very busy but service was good and surprisingly quick.

The food was pretty good with a pretty innovative menu. They definitely have a good concept. The drinks are somewhat disappointing if you're drinking lager as they don't do draught beer. The location is very good just outside market square and next to my bus stop. The interior was lovely and presentation of the food great. However, the service was shocking. We had 4 different servers who obviously didn't communicate with eachother, chatting at the bar while we were seeking attention, took ages to get our dessert and coffee order, one server weirdly started dealing with the dirty plates and had to ask twice for the bill. Shouldn't tell the customer give a shout when you are ready to order, they should be more attentive, especially since it wasn't even busy (Friday lunch beginning of January) So, they accept Blue Light with 20% discount which is another tick in the box. We just decided not to leave a tip, which we always usually do because, frankly, they didn't deserve it. I would go back (not in a hurry) but I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend to friends. Price point is good. So overall it's fine, but if you want good attentive service, there are better places. They need to work on their staff training and roles. I get that there are benefits of having a multislilled team but don't take them off tables without at least having the courtesy to do a hand over.

Service was very friendly and helpful. Food was good.

We came here as a group of 10 adults and one 1 year old on Christmas Eve. It’s a place I’ve been meaning to visit for some time and I was really looking forward to trying the food but the whole experience lead me to leave a review. Despite it being Christmas Eve and a large table of us having not pre-booked the meals, the staff were extremely quick to serve us the food and all at once. No waiting for the last dish to come out before everyone could eat. Looking around I realised how child friendly it is, providing high chairs and food for young mouths. The little one at our table was happy! Can’t wait to return again to have another halloumi burger, it was so good and that garlic dip was just 👌 😋 thanks for a wonderful experience!

Really like this place. Never had a bad meal here, food always top-notch, service excellent 👌

Anais served me and my family upstairs and she was so nice! The food and service was so fast too 👍

Very friendly staff, food is good no complaints

I can't rate the food and can only rate the service, which due to being non existent after 20 minutes of waiting to even have a drink order, my son and I left and went to eat elsewhere. An extremely disappointing experience.

The feel of this place is nice. Slightly pricey but nice for a dinner out

Great place! Excellent service and nice food. Been here 2 times in a row. Cosy setting and a really nice vibe.

Excellent service and great food. Book in advance though as it gets busy !

It was meant to be for a special second date but when I went to pay for the Prosecco that was meant to cost £20 they charged me £32.50 and it wasn’t even in a cooler bucket. My starter had to be sent back because it came with a garnish of chillies and I specifically said I didn’t want chillies in my food so that spoiled it for me and man I was with on a date.

A very positive experience good food, great service, nice atmosphere, great for work do, so and functions.

Our visit to Bill's this morning for breakfast was underwhelming. We have been before (years ago) so decided to have breakfast there before visiting Nottingham Christmas market. We sat in a booth and, while table and chairs were clean, the walls were stained and grubby. I ordered the garden plate with no eggs and my husband ordered the big breakfast with no bacon, but an extra sausage. When they came, he had bacon. His eggs were overcooked and slimy and his sausage was lukewarm and not very good quality. Both of our plates were cold and our food got cold very quickly. Mine was stone cold by the time I finished. Mine came without hollandaise sauce and the avocado was bitter - not like it had lemon in, just really bitter and nasty, no idea why. Staff were ok apart from the one who processed our payment. She was laid back to horizontal, blocked my husband from going to the toilet, as she wouldn't move and acted like we were lucky she had deigned to serve us. We won't be back

A really nicely curated and maintained cafe-restaurant in the centre of Nottingham. Bill’s serves a really nice (albeit somewhat expensive) breakfast and brunch menu, with tasty and interesting vegan options. Coffee here is great (it’s quite strong). We came to Bill’s many times as the meeting place for brunch when family came to visit - it’s got something for everyone. However, it can get really busy and really loud in here (it’s a very open space with a high ceiling) so be sure to book ahead in peak times, or avoid those times altogether. We have also had a mixed experience with service, which doesn’t seem to correlate with anything or have any particular pattern…

I went out with my team for team day here. I ordered Halloumi Shawarma and it was amazing. Staff members were very helpful as well. It took me quite a bit of time to make up my mind what to order, and she helped me by consulting me.

Everything is always perfect ! No issues, friendly helpful staff, delicious food, well presented same as drinks. Recommended!

Had a good meal today Service good

Had a lovely lunch, i need gluten-free, and the attention to detail was fantastic. I felt very confident eating here. Thank you

It’s the best food I have ever !

Good restaurant overall with good vibe and decor. Bang average but in a good way

Lovely breakfast and good options for gluten free as well. Lively and enjoyable setting.

Had the gluten free Bills Breakfast. By far the best gluten-free breakfast I've had! Will definitely be back on my next trip to Nottingham

The waiters were adorable and the food was exquisite 🍳

Thank you to Glynn for making our evening with your service, we hope we didn't burden your shift too much and you are still in line for employee of the month because my mum and I say you deserve it 100%. Fantastic food as always and great atmosphere, I want one of the cat pictures on the wall if anyone ever is getting rid of it!

Lovely place .Food excellent.Went again last night.Super place for pre theatre meal.Great value 2/3 course menu.Highly recommend.

Great restaurant and delicious food. There is a good atmosphere and it looks nice inside.

A lot of food on the menu is deep friend and the flavour could be better. What I really didn’t like was the dirty toilets and floor. One tap isn’t even fixed. Disgusting.

Birthday brunch with friends. Food was good as expected but service made it great. Our waitress Becky was lovely and dealt with my fussy mates requests brilliantly

Bills is always a great go-to place to eat, anutime of day.

My first visit. Definitely won't be the last! Fab gluten free options.

Great atmosphere, service and food. Something for everyone on the menu. We had a sharing platter to start and burgers for mains. All good. Lovely staff brought water bowl for our dog. Wasn’t expecting so much from a chain restaurant but we all enjoyed it. Came here because we are travelling with a dog.

Really lovely service and perfect if you're gluten free.

Couldn't fault it at all food was lovely and quick, staff was attentive only down side was hubby didn't realize they had put a service charge on the bill 🤭would definitely go back

Absolutely perfect no complaints at all totally recommended

Absolutely gorgeous food, fantastic service , thoroughly enjoyed the whole atmosphere, staff are so friendly

Food was lovely with a very warm, welcoming atmosphere. Staff were very friendly and helpful

Food was very good but I found the menu a bit confused. The starters were exactly what you would find in a nice restaurant, but the mains were more like burgers and fries and then randomly fish pie and duck curry! Desserts were fine dining standard, the Bills flower pot was amazing. Staff friendly, don't like the 12.5% service charge added but happens more and more in city centre venues. Will return.

Inviting, friendly. Perhaps a tad crowded. Caters well for Veggie, Vegan and allergies

Monday 14th Oct. Excellent. We arrived earlier than planned, around 5pm, but it wasn't a problem the wonderful waitress gave us a lovely table out of the way in the window. We spent probably the next 45 minutes drinking coffee and talking, the staff not once rushing or bothering us. When we were ready to order an equally wonderful waitress took our order. When the food arrived, (mine was a burger with beef brisket on board, my wifes the gluten free fish pie) it was piping hot and delicious. I can honestly say, the best burger I've ever eaten, something I let the cook know. A waiter came over and cleared up. Yet more smiles and politeness. With my Veterans card I got 25% off. From the moment we walked in, to the moment we left, it was a pleasure to be in there. If you're in Nottingham, if you love a marvellous burger (I usually don't order burger as I don't usually enjoy them), If one you need a GF option and you want excellent service, then get yourself a table here.

Went in for pancakes, and had the most amazing time, food was delicious

Very expensive place to eat and drink £3.50 for a can of coke 😱 , service very slow but it was busy food was quite nice but not great value for money

Cool place, nice staff, nice menu, great for a visiting student parent and company

We went on a Friday night to try the bottomless pancake offer( £5 instead of £9.60). The pancakes was just right...not too sweet and not too plain. We had one round and we couldn't finish our second :) so they gave us boxes to take away. I recommend the biscouf plus ice-cream pancake. I do think that a small pot of cream next to the freshly baked pancakes will make a big difference. The place is really cozy and the service is really a five stars . We will back to try their breakfast .

Little gem of a place with breakfast and lunch menus. Lovely burger in a friendly atmosphere.

We went to Bill’s for dinner and sat outside to save ourselves from a long wait to eat inside. The service was a little slow but there seemed to be quite a few tables so we didn’t mind. My vegan burger was good but there was so much rosemary on my fries/crisps that I couldn’t eat them. We had to ask a few times to get water. Overall, we had a fine time, we probably wouldn’t come back.

So I’ve walked by Bill’s on many occasions & it was amazing to be going there with my Son It was absolutely wonderful inside the decor was out of this world! My Son had eggs Benedict & I tried the plant plate it was excellent for both of us 😊 It was filling up very quickly with a 30th Birthday upstairs, I can’t wait to go up there myself, next time maybe 🫢 Regards Gillian Q.

I ordered a classic burger and a chicken shawarma, both were very good. I warmly recommend the restaurant. Very kind staff.

We came for a last minute dinner at peak time and they managed to fit us in! Our server Michael was the loveliest and helped give us recommendations. The food was delicious and we would definitely return. Thank you!!

Had lunch here with the mrs. on a lazy saturday afternoon. Absolutely loved the pancakes. The burger was decent but a bit bland for my liking. Service was friendly and fantastic throughout. Great spot 👍🏻

Fabulous!!!! Great atmosphere, great food etc. I would recommend booking though as it gets busy

First time visit, the restaurant needs to rethink table layouts very crammed in felt uncomfortable wasn't pleasing. Food was nice and quick. staff nice and friendly quick too.

Breakfast before the match. Outstanding food and friendly staff. It's our new home for breakfast before the match.

Great service and the food was delicious 😋 would definitely recommend 👌

Nice place, tasty food and friendly service.

Lovely meal served by well trained staff.

Shame about the price of the soft drinks, £3.50 for a can of coke? and the automatically added service charge, I tip good service anyway, everything was lovely but that took the edge off.

Great food the staff were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely go again

I’d arranged a trip with friends to see a play in Nottingham and thought we’d combine it with lunch. Originally, we were going somewhere else until one of the group suggested Bill’s. I’d gone a few weeks before to book but the queue was huge (which is always a good sign) so I tried online. Since this booking required me to pay a deposit, I resisted and duly waited in line. The host was exceptional- warm and friendly, incredibly competent at getting job and I immediately felt that booking here was the right choice. Today we went and I cannot fault the service, atmosphere, friendliness of the waitresses, quality of the food and cost. I was extremely impressed and as such, will be back in the future.

Patrick was such a lovely server, thank you!

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to the whole team provided the service in Bill’s yesterday 24/09! Great team-work from everyone and the food was delicious. Special thank you to Andrea, who was serving the main part of the event.

Plenty of choice including a lunch time fixed menu. Delicious food, great atmosphere and very friendly staff

Went here for a light breakfast. Eggs all styles and great veggie friendly options. Very nice smoothies. The staff are quiet and not overly fussy like some places, but they were very polite and friendly. Eggs were a bit on the cold side but maybe because of the chilly avocado. As with all Bill's restaurants the decor is very rustic and a little eccentric but nonetheless charming. They do a very generous Blue Light 🔵 discount which was 25% at the time. Definitely be popping back again. Thanks Bill's ❤️

Meal for two, eaten everything on plate, the steak was 100%, no fat, no grizzle, desserts coffee was fantastic, WILL come again

there was a concern about my meal which the manager refunded. A very good response.

Good food and drink Nice decor The staff were friendly A good option for a pre theatre meal We booked a table on a Saturday afternoon as we needed certainty but it was only a third full so worth a try if you're near

Good food good service, Lee was great :)

Superb food. Excellent atmosphere and service. Good value cocktails

First time I have visited here nice decor Starters was good but long wait for mains Price wise was good value for money Would return again

Great location within one minute walk from the Tram stop, close to the Theatre Royal and Royal Concert Hall and in the heart of the city centre with most bus lines a minute walk. Then there is the interior design which is unique and great to be a part of, the helpful and friendly staff. And finally the choice for all sorts of people, with the food being high quality and will make you satisfied. Would be returning, and would recommend.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and great food, although a little expensive.

We had a nice meal here on a Saturday. The service was great and the Bill’s own (I’m assuming it was their own) cider was better than most you’d get from a supermarket. The food was reasonably priced and, whilst it wasn’t the best meal we’ve ever had, was enjoyable on a Saturday afternoon.

Phenomenal service. The staff went above and beyond for our party of 17! They catered to our access needs and they treated us to a mountain of complimentary mini doughnuts to help us celebrate

I was visiting the city and we decided to stop for lunch since the menu seemed affordable to us. To say that the service was excellent, very friendly, they served us quickly and the food was all very tasty. We will surely repeat!! 😉

Patrick is a legend, really good peroni!

Definitely recommend. Amazing food. Great atmosphere. Very friendly staff.

Beautiful interior and vibrant atmosphere, but the quality of the food was poor. I had a burger and fries and was no different to what I'd have if I got one from a burger van, portions are small and then there was a service charge on top when paying as part of a group.

Very nice food, quick and no issues. Lovely space and great service, thanks to our waiter, Lee, for making our trip so pleasant☺️

Really nice meal. Great service from our waiter, Lee!

Visited bills on Thursday 5th September 2024 at 5:30pm-8pm ish, Lee was our waiter and was so kind and friendly. He gave us all the info on offers that were on, didn’t rush us and was super accommodating. Thank you Lee!

A late lunch! I had the butterfly chicken which was lovely and my partner had a beef burger which had avocado on. Liked the pay at table aspect and split bill option. The decor was all really interesting and the staff were friendly and engaged. Definitely would return and recommend. Also thought the prices were really reasonable.

Gluten-free food was okay. Although upon arrival we were given a card in our hands with the message: take a look. I made inquiries and a lot was possible.

Food was generously portioned, served hot, and tasted delicious. Waitstaff were attentive and friendly. The decor, while quirky/eclectic, worked well to provide a relaxing environment.

The food was average - basically a not particularly impressive burger and chips. Bill's special sauce was uninspiring, in fact we couldn't really work out what it was or where it was! My husband had the chicken burger which was a little better - and the minute steak was served with just a few chips and pea shoots. BBQ burger again just ok. I'd say go to Macdonalds if you want a burger in comparison to this - overpriced and underwhelming. The setting is a little odd - not one thing or another. The service - good in a way but almost trying a bit too hard , and they were definitely understaffed for that time of the day (Thursday early evening). Overall just ok, but nothing special food-wise.
