Bill's Restaurant in Lewes

Came here for a treat as it is quite expensive and not somewhere we can go on a regular basis. Very disappointed Breakfast and coffee were Luke warm. Poached eggs were like hard boiled eggs! Orange juice was full of ice so not much juice. Service was very slow. Not what you expect from Bills we won’t be returning.

Really enjoyed brunch at Bill's. Food was pretty good, but the service made it such a fab experience. Aureah was so friendly, she must be an asset to the team, lovely smile and very welcoming vibe. Thank you Aureah this review was the least we could do :)

Service was wonderful, Allie was brilliant and very friendly! Thank you for giving us a lovely breakfast service. She has a smiley warm personality.

I love Bills. It’s always good. And it’s always full but a table is always going. The service is top notch & the food glorious. And today was no different. As we were all off to a wedding in Lewes, we felt cocktails were completely appropriate & because they were so good, we had two rounds. They complimented our superb meals fabulously, & set us well on our way to enjoying the celebrations later. Thanks guys!

We dined as a family of four (with two little ones!) at Bills Lewes and received some excellent service from a our waitress (named Aurea). Aurea was very attentive and fantastic with the children, making us feel well looked after! We wanted to reach out and give our special thanks for a memorable dining experience.

My daughter and I had a lovely time in Bill’s, I had the Santorini salad which was delicious! My daughter ate off of the kids menu which is free at the moment, thoroughly enjoying her chicken and chips. Our waitress Pearl was brilliant! We’ll definitely be back.

It was a special birthday. The food was good and possibly the service was the icing on the cake. It seems staff get mentioned by name often and our thanks goes to Alannah who made the evening. Burgers are always good as is the fish pie. There was a good atmosphere but not too noisy. Thank you to all concerned for looking after us well.

I visited Bills in Lewes; last Sunday, for the 3rd time this year. I was greeted by Shinaed and she was so helpful from the minute we entered the building. We were sat on a lovely table outside and she made sure we had everything we needed. Our waitress, who we cannot remember was also great and offered us some good options. However, Shinaed came back to check up on us a few times and was always so lovely! We had the chicken swarma and a full English and both were very lovely and fresh. Would highly recommend and we will see you again next week.

Great food Jay & Fergus were very helpful I would recommend if you go in there ask for Jay or Fergus to save you as they are very efficient

Elysia was super friendly, nothing was too much trouble and she kept the syrup for the pancakes flowing for us. She is an asset to the team at Lewes 🌈♥️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Was made to feel very welcome by Elysia who took care of us during our relaxing lunch .

Love a Bills. Elysia was easily one of the loveliest waitresses ever <33

Michael was a great, friendly host and the food was delicious

Michael was great and accommodated to our needs very well

Elysia was great, very lovely service! Another waitress was also very attentive. Great food, lovely restaurant

Michael was incredibly helpful. We came for lunch the day after our wedding and made us feel so welcome and we had a wonderful meal.

Elysia was a wonderful waitress - great with the kids and laughed at my dad’s bad jokes! X

Lovely place, excellent food and the service from Shinaed and lily was amazing. Will be back!

Jay was really went above and beyond this evening. The food and service were first class. A good evening was had by all.

Great service from Jay. Made our experience at Bill’s so enjoyable. Great food. Thank you Jay

As always, the service and food was first class. Jay in particular was so positive, friendly and attentive (without being intrusive). Perfect balance. Thank you.

Wonderful place, beautiful food, cozy atmosphere and attentive staff.

My second trip to bills and it did not disappoint, lovely meal and a great atmosphere. I was there with my parents and they thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Our waitress, Pearl was fab! We will definitely be back.

Nice relaxed sunday brunch. Good food, friendly service. Thanks Alannah!

Great food and great service from the staff. Thanks Aurea for your friendly service.

Visited on Friday, served by Elysia who was courteous, helpful and offered excellent service from start to finish. Excellent food too!!

Lovely setting and décor, great choice of food, served promptly and good value for 3 courses at £20. It got busier around 7ish with a great convivial atmosphere. Food quality average - no point in the green wilted garnish. Dessert was large (choc and caramel tart) and delicious. The goujons were a bit overcooked. The cloudy apple juice was lovely. The golden milk was over priced and small. I asked for a table near a plug socket as I'd taken my laptop, but it meant I was never the main till and staff were talking SO loudly not noticing I was right by them ("Not looking forward to close, I hate closes..." etc). A bit inconsiderate. My waitress was smiley but brusque and didn't deliver a great service. I reduced the very cheeky 12.5% tip that they add automatically to a little less.

Great breakfast for me and the littlen. Jay was brilliant 👍🏻

Our waitress Aurea was fantastic!

Aurea was amazing! Will definitely be back

Lovely time at Bills. Alyssa was a great waitress very friendly!

Perfect in every way. I had a vegan breakfast delicious. Thank you. Fab staff thank you too to Dan the manager 😁

Dining with two children (4 and 6) could have been fraught but we were looked after beautifully. Thank you Elysia and others. Menu manages to be kid friendly and yum!

Aurea the waitress Was very kind and attentive x

Had fabulous veggie Garden Breakfast, big portions of eggs, avocado, halloumi, beans and more, so nice to have something different to usual fry up. Great and friendly service from Alannah and Dan, who went the extra mile for us. Really recommend.

Great atmosphere, lovely food and very friendly service from Elysia. Will definitely come back!

Had a lovely lunch here yesterday! Lots of great veggie options and tasted great. Shinaed was also super attentive and friendly - thank you :)

Food was amazing 👏 as was service from shinaed! Will be back.

Great place and friendly staff. Lovely coffee and brunch. I'll definitely come again.

Always good service , such friendly and welcoming staff that create a great atmosphere. Good food too

Fabulous food and atmosphere, coupled with friendly, attentive staff. Highly recommend Bills in Lewes.

Impeccable service with nothing but a smile from a wonderful young lady named aurea. Popped into bills lewes for some food as I’m not from around the area, your server made me feel incredibly welcome and comfortable especially as I can take a while to make a choice she was patient and accommodating. Thank you Aurea!!

Come here two or three times a week. Staff always friendly and nice atmosphere. Polite and efficient. Today Kayleigh was very helpful.

Really brilliant service from Raya, Araya ? Brunette lady. She was lovely, really attentive and quite a joy to be served by. Personable service that made the dining experience even better. Thanks guys!

Had a lovely date night here! Food was so good! Michael our server was super attentive, warm and friendly! Would highly recommend ☺️

Great place to meet friends have a coffee, beer or good food. Would recommend as a place for all

Had the shawarma brunch, delicious and very filling with fresh peppermint tea. Great service guys, thanks Izzy

Very friendly and relaxed. Excellent food, presented very well and tasted amazing. Service was very friendly and efficient and helpful.

Took my mum for breakfast. Great food and even better service. The pancakes were delicious. Will be back.

Stopped here for breakfast and was very underwhelmed. The coffee was nice but could have been hotter, the breakfast was very mediocre despite being on a lovely plate. The staff were friendly and obliging but it made me realise that going to a chain for a cooked English breakfast is a bad idea. £35 for 2 breakfasts and 2 coffees, I would expect better than that.

Had an amazing Lunch today at Bills. The food was delicious and the staff were really friendly and helpful. Our waitress Jess was really nice and chatty, asking us about our day and my mums birthday. Will definitely come again!

Always excellent service and great food

Great atmosphere and staff, as always the food was great.

Great choice of vegan food. Staff were very pleasant and helpful

Tasty vegetarian options. Excellent service.

Delicious food, perfect sizes for young and old. Helpful staff. Lovely return to Lewes for us

Lively Birthday Breakfast in Lewes. Tasha was amazing as we're all the crew

First time ever going to Bill’s I have an allergy and most times I don’t mention it because I’ve been refused service in other establishments, but Kayleigh was so great and didn’t make a fuss about it which made me feel reassured. She was very polite and she was handling her section of the restaurant very well! Based off the way we was treated and the absolute amazing burger we would deffo be coming back. Thank you.

Prompt lovely service from both Aidan and Jay. Good food as ever enjoyed the burger and Shawarma. Starters tasty too Thanks!

Excellent experience. Love the food. Love the atmosphere. Such a lovely place. Highly recommend. 🥰🥰🥰

Great new seasonal food and drinks menu. Food was well cooked and presented, and delivered with great service by Nessa. Restaurant has been revamped, and was clean and well organised. Indistinct background music and full tables of diners close by can make conversation difficult. Popular at most times of the day, so make a booking.

Always love Bills for a special treat, the staff are exceptional and the food is great. Lewes is the best Bills, the original and the best!

Had the breakfast which could have been better. Eggs overdone, not the best sausages and not as hot as it should have been. Service was friendly and atmosphere was great. Very busy on a Saturday morning. Booking is definitely recommended.

Nice food and drinks. Served by Aidan, who was very attentive and friendly. The only thing we object to is a 12.5% service charge. We like to leave our own tip at our discretion not have it added by the restaurant.

My husband and I have been visiting Bills in Lewes for the past fourteen years with numerous family members and dogs … I guess that says it all ….We are always greeted with warmth and generosity by staff and nowhere does a better coffee! ..We mainly go for brunch but when the candles are lit and the lights dimmed it is equally a favourite evening destination! Food is very tasty and they do well with keeping up with latest trends .. The outside area and window seats are great for people watching .

It’s the staff. Charlotte, Dan and the team make you feel at home and that they care.

Had a lovely breakfast, good quality ingredients also, attentive staff and very friendly.

Stopped off for lunch after a wander around Lewes town high street. Staff were friendly and welcoming and accommodated us without a reservation. We chose to sit outside to enjoy the sunny weather. Food was tasty and arrived quicky and our server Irene always attentive and helpful.

Great service from Tash. Me and my best friend went out for a mini dinner date and bills was a great choice . Atmosphere was lovely and the food was good. <3

Breakfast over priced - when it arrived it was cold, smallest sausage and bacon I've ever seen, tomato raw you could count the number of beans in the portion, never going there again!

Really great food served quickly and very friendly staff

Lovely place to visit,but charged 12.5% service.

Oh dear! Going back to Bill's was a reminder of why I don't go. Staff were fab I must say. Ambiance was lovely, rather annoying piped music but bearable. Food was just OK nothing special, dry fish in the fish burger. Dull chips and just not really a pleasant experience at all. Coffee was luke warm and my cocktail was bland and had very little alcohol. All in all a great reminder of why I don't go to Bills.

Great food, friendly staff and busy atmosphere. Super coffee too!

Food was great, Jay was amazing.

Friendly staff. A bit noisy, which I don't like. Food ok but just as expensive as much better food in other places I ate on that trip.

Jay was a great waiter. Very attentive and friendly. Food delicious as always. Thank you for a great start to the day 💕

Totally superb place, decor and atmosphere is amazing, very friendly helpful attentive staff with great quality food to match. Great place to be. Highly recommended ☕☕

Lovely setting but the plant based breakfast was pretty mediocre however I'm grateful they have one!

The original Bill's, still just as awesome as its founder intended.

We had lunch at Bills, good quality and reasonable prices. I had fish finger burger and other half had a beef burger, both perfectly cooked. Staff very good, we sat outside and they did not forget about us.

Awkward getting drinks and food at the same time, I just don't like a cold coffee with my hot food. Plus, no longer accept cash. I'd expect them to give discount for cash.

Amelia was so welcoming, we came in for my mums birthday. The food was amazing and they even brought out a birthday brownie for my mum! Will definitely be coming back again <3

Lovely meal in a delightful setting!

Always a positive vibe and excellent food and service

We had a lovely lunch in bills today, with an even lovelier waitress named Izzy. The updated menu is amazing and the service was very very quick. We always have a great meal and overall experience in Bills lewes. Highly recommend :)!

Bills is a great chain now and I'm glad it's in most major cities. You can tell this was the original as there's still that sense of extra care with the food and it's staff. It caters to my onion/allium allergy really well and the staff know their stuff! It's good for kids too. The staff are friendly and good with kids ☺️ Always a good safe go-to when you didn't know the local options!

Very good service. Delicious Food. Staff always on track whether things going well or not.

My experience was mediocre at best. The only redeeming aspect is the location, in a quaint road with the feel of another era. I had the eggs benedict and the muffin was dry and not so great.

Visited lewes yesterday 31/5/24 We went to Bill’s for Breakfast 🍳.😁 A lovely welcome by the front of house staff .. they were all very friendly & our waitress was very nice & helpful.. the extensive breakfast menu was very good.. Excellent Food local produce .. We will be going again 😊

Good food at moderate prices. The deserts, in particular were good. Friendly, attentive service. Mainly let down by the 12.5% service charge that is added to the bill.

We went to the Lewes branch at the end of the bank holiday Monday, quite late on in the day. We were welcomed into a lovely relaxed, but efficient atmosphere. Even though the restaurant had been busy over the weekend, the food, the staff and the whole experience was a delight. The waiting staff, one who was on their first shift, were really lovely and welcoming. The food exceeded our expectation; delicious, fresh tasting with a good amount of choice on the menu. Thank you Bills :)

Sunny table, delicious food and prompt, friendly service. Thank you !

Fantastic visit, food, service and atmosphere was top draw as always. Amelia went out of her way to ensure we had the best time! Thank you Bill’s!

We had a lovely meal on the terrace. The service was fast and efficient. Tasha was our waiter. My food I would give 10/10 - great vegetarian dishes. My husband said 7/10. The toilets are small and need more regular cleaning.

Fab evening with my friend. Jay was brilliant!

Our server Kyla was efficient friendly and very helpful. She got water for our little dog and the doggy menu!! Service was quick, and we enjoyed our lunch very much, thank you Kyla

Good food, lovely setting, and excellent service by Alannah and Libby!

I’ve known about Bill’s for as long as I can remember but only went there for the first time today. I’d heard it’s not the same since it’s become a chain but I couldn’t fault it. The food and drink arrived quickly and were tasty and priced as I’d expected. The halloumi burger was big and juicy with the best chips/dip I’ve had in ages. It was especially busy today at lunchtime, I guess because of the great weather and BHA’s final match of the season. This is what made the service so exceptional. Libby on front-of-house was charming and unflustered despite the never-ending queue and kindly moved us to the perfect table outside after a few minutes as we’d mentioned a preference. Alannah, our waitress, took time to chat with everyone in her section and to take photos while keeping the orders flowing smoothly. No, I’m not on commission and have no connection with Bill’s and I’m sure that, had Libby not found us a table outside, this review would have been different, as it was crowded and busy inside. But she did. And it was perfect.

Food and drink arrived quickly and were tasty and reasonably priced. Despite being full, the service was first-class. Libby on the front desk found us a table outside. Alannah, our waitress, was engaging and efficient. Thank you!
