Bill's Restaurant in Cambridge

Bonito ambiente para pasar la noche con amigos. El personal es amable y encontramos opciones vegetarianas en el menú para todos.

Enjoyed a late afternoon meal. Good ambience, food was tasty - loved the Bill's Flowerpot dessert - yummy.

Delicious breakfast and amazing service from Amber and the rest of the team. Brilliant if you suffer with food intolerances, nothing is too much trouble. Our first choice for breakfast and lunch whilst in Cambridge. Will definitely be back.

Great meal, great company, great atmosphere - on my tick list for places to go back to 👍

We arrived early, having booked a table. We were then taken to our table at the booked time by the door which was cold We asked to be moved but the answer was no. We gave our food order and only 2 of the 3 meals were brought out! We've been here an hour and a half, I'm cold and hungry and not impressed 😑

Had a super yummy brunch, avocado toast was incredible! Our waitress Sophie was also super lovely and was able to give us great recommendations. Will 100% be back

My daughter and I enjoyed our salad and the service was excellent. I didn't enjoy the background music which was too loud.

Food and service were great! Beau and Esmee were wonderful!

Excellent, friendly service, very welcoming. The food was absolutely stunning, so tasty, we had 3 courses. I can't wait to come back again. Would 100% recommend 👌

The food was delicious, the staff was very friendly and helpfull and the place is dog friendly. Recommend!

Stumbled upon the Gem by chance today. Super meal! Thoroughly enjoyed all three courses. Service was excellent and there was a great atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Great food and service. Chelsea was great at helping us.

What a find Bill's was today! Both my son and I enjoyed our food which was delicious and we both said how pleasant the atmosphere was. There was background music but it wasn't intrusive or overly loud. I wasn't made to feel a 'problem ' as the stairs were a challenge for me and I asked where the disabled one was. It was lovely and clean too.

Tana was great. she should get paid more

La comida y el ambiente era muy bueno! Y nuestra camarera Chelsea era muy amable y agradable! Sin duda recomendaría!

Excellent service from Chelsea! Thank you :)

lovely atmosphere and quality foods!!

We went to Bills for a going away dinner. We had a large group of 15. This was one of the only restaurants we could find that could accommodate our large group. We had a smaller menu offered to us because of our group size and we had to place our order ahead of time. Not a big deal. I am gluten free and selected such from there menu. We arrived this evening and were told the item I ordered was in fact not gluten free. I’m not sure why it was on the gluten free menu. I instead got a VERY bland steak. Zero seasoning… I went too add salt and pepper and was surprised to find multiple things in the salt shaker!!! Black crap on the inside, specs of crap, and fur! So obviously I didn’t use that. Multiple orders were sent back due too being under cooked or just flat out wrong. I will say my gluten free brownie was very good. The over all atmosphere of the restaurant was fun and inviting. I wish I could say the same for the staff. When a lady comes in with a baby… ask her if she needs a baby seat. Don’t make me hunt one down on my own with my baby in tow. We also enjoyed some lovely entertainment as the staff loudly pushed through the restaurant with entire trash cans, went past a curtain, left the door open, and proceeded to loudly dump the trash. I’m also very big on bathroom hygiene. If a bathroom is clean at a restaurant then they probably have a clean kitchen. If the bathroom is gross then that’s probably how much effort they also put into their kitchen’s hygiene routine. The bathroom was horrific! Crap built up on the floors, toilet paper rolls sitting around, doors are gross, slime growing on the sinks backsplash and the sink itself, and crap in the crevices of the toilet seat. I’m disappointed in my visit. This could be so amazing and has so much potential to be better! I took a few pictures but was also busy with a baby.

Amber was brilliant and super friendly

Acabo de tener un tiempo inolvidable aquí! La comida era realmente de primera clase, y no puedo dejar de hablar de ello. El servicio fue fantástico, y me lo pasé genial con el personal amable, especialmente Amber, que era supercalafragilisticexpialodocious! Necesita un aumento. Buenas cosas.

I just had an unforgettable time here! The food was seriously top-notch, and I can't stop raving about it. The service was fantastic, and I had a blast with the friendly staff—especially Amber, who was supercalafragilisticexpialodocious! She needs a raise. Good stuff.

Solid experience here. Great food, really good value. Attentive staff. Nothing to complain about other than the tables were slightly small!

We went in half term so the kids ate free, which is an amazing deal as 2 can eat free per paying adult. The kids enjoyed their food and my burger was great.

Bill's Restaurant in Cambridge is a great place that offers an outstanding dining experience. We were a family of 8 who walked in and From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed by beautiful decor creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The food and drinks at Bill's were good. The burata, chicken burgers, sea bass and pasta were all very tasty. The seamless blend of good service, delicious food, and stunning decor makes Bill's Restaurant in Cambridge a must-visit. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a simple dining experience with kids and family. Kids menu available as well.

Never ever disappoints. The atmosphere is lovely, the service is always good and the food is great.

Dog friendly, quick and friendly service, nice decor. We had a very large Brunch which was very tasty. Would recommend

Delicious food as always. We can always count on Bills for consistently good food, service, and atmosphere!

We had a very nice Valentine’s meal!

Good food, good atmosphere, unlimited pancakes on Friday and value for money all round. Can get noisy but that's cambridge.

The hostess at this place, the one wearing glasses with the wide forehead, is really rude. Stark contrast to most of the staff who are lovely. Never going back here because of my negative experience with that woman.

Very beautiful decor, service is super great, caring and attentive! Food was good; English breakfast was nice but the pancakes were a bit dry and bacon was very hard. The coffee is amazing here! Will come again.

Nice atmosphere, good food, friendly staff. What more do you need?

Delish food and great service! Especially noticed a woman named Katie who was running all over the place delivering food and making sure people were all taken care of for food & drink. I don't think we saw her pause for even a moment, and she was gracious, friendly and cheerful throughout. Absolute superstar!

Quality of food is not great. Choice for vegans is very poor. Atmosphere on a Saturday morning is on existent. But the staff are excellent and very competent. We will not be going back.

Enjoyed the atmosphere and the food was tasty. However, the shared plates might not be ideal for just two people as the portions are not very large.

The food is cambridge standard, slightly overprice but ok.. We ordered tap water and they brought opened bottles of water, when we got the bill, we realised they charged almost £5 per bottle. Also, they don't do normal bills. They have an online payment system that is difficult to use, especially for larger groups.

Chips muy fríos, tenía una hamburguesa de cerdo tirada de barbacoa que estaba asquerosamente fría. ¿Quién quiere una hamburguesa caliente con ternera tirada de piedra fría encima? Me preocupa seriamente que haya sido las últimas semanas. Mi hija tenía una hamburguesa con queso que pedimos que fuera sencilla, pero venía con ensalada, encurtidos y una salsa asquerosa. Mi más joven tenía nuggets de pollo... los dejó todos... tiene 5 años, así que eso lo dice todo, eran asquerosos. Terrible comida, promedio en el mejor servicio y sobreprecio. Nunca volveremos

We were looking for a central location for brunch with our large dog. When the first reaction on arrival is "would you mind if I fuss your dog?" Then you're in good hands. Excellent food, wonderful service (shout out for Jess!) and good value. Great place to have discovered.

Food was bland and cold. Service was good and friendly. Restaurant was half full and nice enough atmosphere

Excellent venue and great food. Well priced. Good service. This place was recommended by our hotel staff and we were not disappointed

I have previously absolutely loved Bill's, but this time it was slightly disappointing. Although the food was OK, I have had much better here before! It felt like it was prepared with less care. The pea shoot salad wasn't fresh, although the meat was cooked as I liked it. Overall, good, but could do better!

Birthday Brunch. Always a pleasure to eat here. Food is always top notch too.

We love Bills! Our breakfasts arrived quickly, were hot and delicious, and were great value (very generous portions!). From start to end the service from Mills was brilliant too 😊

The food is good, if a little overpriced. The woman serving was friendly and efficient. However this weird system of a 12% service charge is a definite negative and we asked for it to be removed as we are used to tipping by cash or by opting in via the card payment machine. Even stranger is the online payment system where there is the service chare plus the option to pay a tip - surely the service charge is the tip?! Having to ask for the service charge to be removed was quite awkward. We will never go to this restaurant chain again.

Venía con los niños, y estaba muy agobiado. ¡No estuvo mal, pero tampoco fue bueno! Las hamburguesas de los niños estaban bien, pero el shawarma de mi esposa era pequeño, y el pollo estaba demasiado carbonizado, si no hubiera pedido papas fritas de lado, habría tenido mucha hambre. Tenía un curry, que tenía dos trozos de pavo, una salsa acuosa y enormes trozos de verduras. No puedo culpar a los niños que experimentan, pero para los adultos que se entrega.

My wife and I frequently visit Bill's for breakfast with our two children and two dogs. The staff are always friendly and welcoming despite us being an imposition. The breakfast is always good. I particularly like the eggs benedict, the poached eggs are always perfect. My wife gets the garden plate (veggie) every time and loves it. It's a big place, often busy, so you will need to flag the staff down to pay quickly if you are in a rush. They will accommodate. If you're feeling celebratory, you can grab a bloody mary with breakfast too! :-)

El menú tenía una buena elección y la comida era sabrosa. La parte trasera de las áreas de la casa y los aseos muy mal y necesitan una buena limpieza. A 12 . Se añadió automáticamente un cargo de servicio del 5 % a la factura; esto se podía eliminar, pero tenía que pedirlo activamente, lo que francamente se sentía como ser obligado a pagar este cargo. El servicio que tuvimos fue el mínimo que cabría esperar (es decir, tomaron nuestro pedido y nos trajeron nuestra comida y bebidas) y aunque yo normalmente dejaría una propina esto se sentía excesivo y como la presión de venta.

Mills was a lovely warm host. Much like the other team. Lovely evening over new years. Would definitely recommend

Yeah, it’s alright! 20% off for NHS employees if you have a Blue Light Card 😎

Admite perros, buena comida, decoración peculiar. El personal era amable y servicial, quizás era un poco caro, pero teniendo en cuenta lo que está pasando en 2024 no me sorprendió. Comí entrante de halloumi, pollo Shawarma principal, helado de coco - postre de crema. Todo muy sabroso 😋

Very good atmosphere, great service! Good place to try the English breakfast.

Lovely setting and atmosphere but food very average for the price we paid. We have always enjoyed Bills previously so not sure if it was a Christmas Eve thing

The food here is quite yummy.. Bill’s has great cocktails & a great vibe. They are often busy, so a reservation is recommended esp on weekends. Also - service can sometimes be a bit slow but the staff is always so kind.

Relatively poor experience. The waiter that served us was great however she was really let down by the team. Our mains came first before the starter and the children's food. The mains were burnt so they were sent back. The mains were redone but one of them was still burnt so it had to be resent back for the second time... They told us that due to the experience something will be deducted from the bill but it wasn't, so we had to reduce the service charge. Hope service, especially kitchen improves...

My friends and I were looking for a brunch spot and while walking around the city centre, we saw the queue in front of Bill’s and said we have to give this place a try. Best decision of the day! Bill’s is a very charming, spacious, cozy space with a lot of options on the menu. We did not wait long to be seated. Luckily, the brunch menu was available until 5pm which gave us plenty of time to order different dishes. I ordered the full English breakfast, which came in this very large portion of eggs, meat, baked beans, toast and butter, and breakfast potatoes. The meal was quite delicious and it came extra fast. The fresh orange juice was really good as well. My friends had high praises for the Christmas morning pancakes, Bill’s coffee and cocktails. The prices are appropriate given the size of the portions. The waitresses are nice and attentive. They gave us really good recommendations. I appreciated that they had thematic dishes on the menu, circling around Christmas. We would have to come back again to try the rest of the menu. Overall, high praises and a recommended visit!

Great atmosphere and service. Food was mostly excellent. Thought the steak was over priced. Had a Bills flowerpot cheesecake which was not good - hardly any cheesecake and a lot of very dry 'soil'.

One of the best restaurants in Cambridge, Top customer service, friendly staff, highly recommended.

We had our Xmas meal last night. The guy at the door who showed us to our table was not very welcoming and reminded us that we only had two hours and we had to leave by 8.30.! The 2 hours wasn’t the problem, it was the manner in which he told us. Not the best welcome I’ve ever had I must admit. Our waitress was fantastic though and can’t rate her highly enough. The food was average , the sprouts were so hard they were inedible, I couldn’t even cut them. Such a shame as I’ve eaten there on numerous occasions and always enjoyed it but we will choose another venue next time.

Having lived in Cambridge for 23 years, this restaurant is easily the best I’ve been to. The quality of the food is amazing and every single time I go I feel welcomed and looked after by the staff. The price is very affordable and they even offer a 20% nhs discount which is hard to find! I couldn’t recommend this resteraunt more! It’s perfect for any occasion big or small, for any time breakfast lunch or dinner!

Don’t often leave reviews but had lovely time here tonight. Birthday celebration. Calamari was best we’ve had, shawarma, chicken burger and watermelon salad really tasty. Puddings lovely too. Our waitress was really sweet (blond hair yellow top) so sorry, didn’t get her name. Think she was new but was really patient with my elderly mum who was faffing a lot, thank you!

Whilst we enjoyed our food and the service was good I really do despise Bill's questionable method of obtaining a service charge from their customers. The bill can be downloaded and paid whilst at one's table - great, BUT the OPTIONAL service charge is already added to the bill and customers are requested to speak to a member of staff if they wish it to be removed from the bill. Come on Bill's - that is rather underhand, you know damn well that most people will be rather embarrassed to request the service charge to be removed, whether they are unhappy with the 12.5% rate of added charge or have received poor service and wish to not leave any service charge. Instead, an amount decided by the customer should be added if they wish to. Sorry, but your money grabbing tactics mean we won't be returning.

I dined here with just me and my dog and both of us felt safe and welcome . The food was great , it was the all day brunch menu and had lots of gluten free options for me. They had a dog food menu which was fantastic. Very busy, Sunday brunch is clearly popular. It's in the old part of town. So worked really well for me and my dog in a city that is clearly not dog friendly.

Bill's did a great job with our work Christmas do on 23/11/24. For the money, the food was really decent - fresh and plentiful . I had an avocado and prawn cocktail starter - with load of avo, good turkey Christmas dinner and pretty cheese board. The service was outstanding. Eg they knew who was having what - none of the usual anxiety about trying to remember what you ordered. A colleague asked for more gravy and they brought three more gravy boats, and swiftly. One of the waitresses over saw a mini game for us - sadly we didn't win the free wine. Also - we could actually talk to each other without shouting. Thank you to the lovely staff who served us.

Have been for breakfast multiple times, great eatery!

Food was lovely . Staff super friendly. Really lovely experience Glad we booked as it was busy for Friday lunchtime. Nice to find a restaurant left in Cambridge that isn't a burger bar.

This place has some stunning food options, we went for an early breakfast which was to die for! Honestly such a fresh idea, chilli flakes and avocado (yum!). Then the pancakes which are so fluffy which is a great contrast to the crispy bacon. We cannot wait to come back again!

We were looking forward to a somewhere to have a late breakfast before a walking tour of Cambridge. We always like Bill’s so it was an easy decision. Our food was good, traditional cooked breakfast and squash, eggs and feta on sourdough. Some things could be improved: other tables order taken before ours, gluten free menu couldn’t initially be found, cooked food came before our hot drinks and water finally appeared when we had almost finished. That said, all those that we interacted with were very friendly, just a bit of fine tuning required, especially as it was so quiet.

I heard that this restaurant was really good, so my daughter and I went for brunch. It is located on lovely Green Street in Central Cambridge. We ordered pancakes, which are supposed to be American style—-not crepes. Both of our dishes looked good, but were very disappointing to eat. The pancakes were dry and crumbly, not sure how that’s possible when covered in syrup! I also had a pot of English Breakfast tea, which had no taste. Not sure what brand tea, but it was also a disappointment. The restaurant is very modern in many ways, but the bathrooms are not. They are upstairs and haven’t been renovated or updated in many years. Yuck. And finally, it’s very expensive!

Typical English place with its mixed dishes, good beers and little wine selection. The atmosphere and decoration is very pleasant. The tables are comfortable and sufficiently separated from each other so that they do not get in the way since the place is usually quite full. We went for brunch and almost all of us chose the "English breakfast" consisting of fried eggs, English style, sausages, bacon, potatoes, the typical "beans" in tomato sauce and some salad. There were those who chose the vegetarian dish which I think was better. As I said, a recommendable place without exaggerations, good service, somewhat less than decent cuisine in a good atmosphere. It is better to book especially on weekends since being in the heart of Cambridge, it is usually in high demand. Only briefly recommended.

Went with a large group for a friend's birthday. I understand that it's difficult for staff to tend to a large group but they did well.

Great meal today. Had the brunch breakfast and it didn't disappoint. Would recommend booking. 10 out of 10.

Bills is great. No fuss, well serviced restaurant with food choices for everyone in a relaxed atmosphere and easy on the pocket.

Had never been in a Bills before but the menu was really good. Seated promptly, food tasty and fresh. A good price too will use again

Overpriced and long wait time. We went as a big group and had reserved our seats. Portion sizes were tiny and main was so bad cancelled my dessert. Total price still came out as £26 just for a starter and tiny main that didn’t even taste good. Also waited nearly 2hours for the food to arrive despite ordering days in advance. Would not recommend and never again.

We are regular customers who eat here whenever we come to Cambridge. This time, unusually, there was an issue with our meals and the manager was amazing! Exceptional customer service skills and everything was resolved quickly and to our absolute satisfaction - what an asset he is to the company - thank you! We will back!

Very slow lunch service with uninspiring food.

lack of service, staff forgot an order of drinks and after 20 mins had to go find a staff member to ask where they were, informed that they forgot. At no point did anyone come to check if everything was okay with our food also, to top it off they add a nice 12.5% service charge for literally no service at all!!!

I had a lovely experience at Bill’s Restaurant! The atmosphere was cozy, and the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Every dish we ordered was delicious, and they had fantastic options for the kids too. The Full English breakfast was hearty and satisfying—although I wouldn’t have minded an extra sausage and bacon for good measure. Overall, a great spot for a relaxing meal with family. Looking forward to visiting again!

Very disappointed with our experience at Bill’s Cambridge. The English breakfast arrived cold and was nearly inedible—eggs were lukewarm, and the bacon was tough and rubbery. On top of that, we were kept waiting an inordinately long time for donuts, which only added to the frustration. The service felt corporate and mechanical, lacking any warmth or personal touch. For a place that usually has a great reputation, this visit fell far below expectations. A little more attentiveness and care would go a long way. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend this location based on this experience.

Had lunch here! Really liked it and will definitely return when I'm next here!. Busy, popular and very well run. I liked the vibe and clientele too. Recommended!

We specifically booked this restaurant as it advertises on its website “Vegan options!” There is 1 main course for vegans - a burger which was undercooked for both myself & my partner, served medium warm. There is also 1 dessert choice for vegans. So we wouldn’t recommend.

Lunch at Bills, Cambridge. Very efficient service and the food was of a very good standard.

Food was cold, wasn't approached by staff after we were served to see if everything was ok. The kitchen is upstairs with the door open next to the toilets, I'm not a food hygiene expert but that doesn't seem right to me. First and last visit.

Great food and ambience but slow service. 23 year old son got refused alcohol because he didn't have id when the law says you can drink it it at the age of 16 in a restaurant. Ridiculous given that I ordered some and could easily have given it to him. Be aware that a 12.5% service charge gets added and it's too difficult to ask for it to be removed. Disappointing!

Food is interesting there's an extra twist to it all the chips where very good but the burger could be thought out better the whiskey capsules great idea and with an burger great but didn't go very well with the sauce in the bap the flavours was thrown way off.

Lovely evening celebrating for friends 50th birthday. Good food and service.

I ordered a breakfast burger which was about 1 degree above stone cold. There was a fan directly above our table blowing cold air onto us, we asked two members of staff if they would turn it off and they said that they would, but it didn't happen. I went to the Bury St Edmunds restaurant about three years ago and that was also very disappointing. Obviously things haven't improved. I won't be going again. The staff are very friendly.

Very busy and buzzy when we arrived at 12.45pm on a Saturday for our pre booked table of three. We were shown to our table quite quickly , and then was served by waitress Jess. She was excellent. Polite, speedy and efficient. This is a great atmosphere restaurant but it’s busy so pre booking highly recommended. Good place. 5/5

A great lunch with my friend who was visiting from devon . Service was great . Our only complaint was that the fries weren't very hot. We did tell the waitress but no solution was offered , however that didn't overly detract from our overall experince .

Bill's always has good and various breakfast and dinner options and food is delicious. Service is usually quick as well.

Just brilliant food and service, it’s as simple as that. The Bills Cambridge Classic Burgers are something else. Highly recommend!

Super cozy and colorful place. Good food, not least the fish pie

Never been here before so a new experience for me. Tempted in by the offer of free Lady Petrol (prosecco) for my partners birthday. Early afternoon, so not too busy. I just had a house burger with dirty fries and amazing ceasar dressing. She had something chickeny with things on it. Stuffed our faces with coffee and doughnuts. Staff were amazingly pleasant and efficient, so well done for that. Minor overcharge on the bill,quickly resolved and we'll be back in the future I'm sure.

Food was pretty decent but not the best over cooked and cold calamari chorizo with honey is good but served with incredibly dry bread and our chicken was over cooked but edible . Service was incredibly slow told who our waitress was and she appeared half hour later , waited 20 minutes for a bottled beer , no check backs until the meal was finished the service wasn’t friendly or personal . It wasn’t to the standard hospitality holds in the slightest . Not what it’s made out to be was disappointing overall

Great place ;) If you can add a little bit of fresh air, maybe ?

Excellent food at a very reasonable price for central Cambridge. Also have a gluten free menu, which meant my Uncle was able to choose what he wanted, father than settle for whatever he could eat. Really lovely, knowledgeable staff and service.

Helpful staff although a bit slow in taking orders. Food fine.

Great food & service with a quirky vibe! Woukd definitely recommend

It's a lot bigger on the inside than it looks. I got the fish pie, was really good, I'd get it again. I did get the wrong table bill though.
