Bill's Restaurant & Bar - Newbury in West Berkshire

Very nice staff team, service was swift. Food very tasty. Perhaps a little badly laid out and table seemed too low for chair height but still charming enough.

Lovely welcome and very attentive and friendly service. I had the calamari (small plate) which was delicious and the seasonal turkey curry, which was presented beautifully and tasted fabulous. If you have room, I highly recommend the mini doughnuts as well 😀

It was a great experience all the waiters were polite and lovely very nice setup and lots of seating I would recommend coming to bills and there potatoes for breakfast are exquisite

I visit often and would highly recommend. However on my last visit I was very poorly after eating the seafood sharer.

Took a long time for our food to arrive, when it arrived they were cold. They were replaced. They are not great, tasteless

Archive was cool and very polite and helpful give him 10k

Chorizo with chilli honey starter was fabulous. As was the fish pie main. What a relief they've dispensed with the table ordering by QR code which kept us away for a few months! Normal excellent service resumed.

Fantastic service by Caroline and great food!

Absolutely stunning beautiful amazing food, but service was very very poor Waitress wasn’t very attentive at all, literally acted as if we were in the way, no dessert menu was offered and no one came to ask if we wnated the bill, just left alone.

Awesome food and service..always a great meal

Great tasty breakfast, quick service, warm atmosphere.

We have been here twice now, and I can say it's the best Bill's we have been to. Archie who has served us both times we have been here goes above and beyond of what is expected of him. He engages well with the guests, very calm, caring and patient. Furthermore, he has a good memory (my son had lost his toy and he remembered that it had belonged to him the next time we came in) and he always serves with a smile. The food is fresh and delicious. Better than we expected (thanks to the chef). There is plenty of entertainment for the kids (games and toys are on hand in the corner) when waiting for the food. Amazing restaurant all in all.

Went for brunch, previously had chicken and pancakes and was looking forward to having them again but they have removed them from the menu - so i had bacon pancakes instead which were good but not great. Lighting was brighter so I could actually see which was better than my previous visit. Overall a really good experience.

We had a great meal tonight at Bills! We were greeted by Archie who was very welcoming for both of us and our dog throughout our visit. Food was top quality, and reasonably priced. The service was great, I'd highly recommend.

Archie was so attentive, excellent service and food. loved the Christmas tree

Food was really tasty. Good portion sizes, and the price was spot on. Staff were attentive and helpful. Would definitely go again.

We came as a family for the unlimited pancakes...which are lovely, but very filling! The staff were friendly and very good at their job, the atmosphere was brilliant inside, but as it was the light switch on it was busy and a good atmosphere outside as well! We will definitely be back as we all enjoyed ourselves.

I ordered pancakes with bacon but received pancakes with fruit 😢

Lovely place to, the food was tasty, slightly too expensive. But great Had a big group and staff were very accommodating

Had never been here before and I was pleasantly amazed. The service was fantastic. They were so busy and fully booked but managed to get us in within half hour. The food was top tier and drinks to accompany. Lovely atmosphere. Will definitley return.

Excellent food great staff and top food

Great lunch for older kids during half term.

Had a fantastic time, lovely food and Archie looked after us very well!

Order missing multiple items of which I paid extra for. Won’t be ordering from here again!

Speedy service and lovely staff, especially Caroline

Lovely restaurant, super friendly staff and the food was fab.

Well done. Thanks to Archie for looking after us and making. It special

Newly renovated, looks great, always can get a table. Really friendly and great service. Food is delicious. Real gem of place in Newbury

Had a really good meal out with some friends with a few drinks. The atmosphere is very relaxed and the new lounge layout with all QR code ordering makes things very easy and not having to wait for a bill is brilliant. The staff are always friendly and accommodating and the food has never once disappointed. There's a reason I visit on a semi regular basis.

My lovely burger was excellent and very good service too

We dined in Newbury. Our waitress was Caroline. She was incredibly friendly and went out of her way. 5* service!!

Great place for my birthday lunch with my son and family.

Great food nice and hot and delivered on time

Always good food and the service is always spot on. Good value for money too.

Had brunch in here and it didn't disappoint! I was too hungry and forgot to take pictures though! Paid parking close by 🚙, nice location😊, cosy and comfy inside and the staff are super friendly, helpful and accommodating 😍. My only criticism is that the sourdough toast seems too light to be real fresh sourdough. I might be wrong but I've never had sourdough that's so light! 🤔 😊Highly recommended 😊

Excellent meal and service as always, served by Lily on this visit, she was very friendly and attentive.

Went in without a booked table for coffees and Pudding with my partner and was given the best service by a lovely Lady called Sam, she advised us so well on what to have that our unusual combination of puddings and coffees were absolutely perfect. The food was delicious and we left feeling great. The young Maître d was also very warm and friendly. We will definitely be coming back.

Great food, excellent value, fab cocktails! Shout out to Jayme for the first class service

Had an amazing salad, all of us thought the service we received from the staff was fantastic. Want a meal out in Newbury check out Bills

Ordered a meal deal. Smashed burger, fries, side of halloumi and a drink. The fries were missing from my order!! And because the bag is sealed upon delivery, I only discovered once I was back in my flat and opened the bag. Disappointed ☹️

Really good food, love all the gluten free options. Served by Rhys who is such a wonderful ray of sunshine, thank you Rhys!

Really good burger and excellent value for money

Served by Archie, great service and there was no problem to adjust the menu item a bit. Food was also good and served fast.

Did not even receive the order

Great tasting food and nice selection of drinks. Kids eat a 2x course meal free during school holidays so definitely a win! Nice burgers, good service and a nice place to eat.

Great place to eat, really friendly staff, only issues are no table service and they add service charge to your bill when ordering on the phone...what's the table service charge for without the interaction of them taking your order...?

Warm welcome, nice food, good value.

Usually liked Bills in the past, ordered some Santorini salads and I think in principal it sounded better than what we got. Firstly the portions were MASSIVE. The photo doesn’t really show this but we couldn’t finish it. We got nowhere near to finishing it. If we had known how big it was going to be, we would have shared. I even asked the waiter if anyone has ever finished this salad before and he said no. Chicken that we ordered extra could have been cooked to order instead of dry and refrigerated and the salad was too wet because of the huge amounts of watermelon (they just put HUGE slabs of watermelon in it) I understand that giving people their moneys worth for the salad is important (with extras like the chicken, it was close to £20) but the solution isn’t to give LOADS of salad, it’s to refine it and that would definitely have made it worthwhile- less is more! If you disagree and think the photo I’ve provided looks £20 worth then go for it- but I hoped and expected more.

I took my daughter for pancakes hoping for a lovely place to revisit. The staff were lovely, the surroundings good. The pancakes, however, left a lot to be desired. My bacon and syrup pancakes were poor. The pancakes themselves cooked well but the bacon was barely cooked and the smallest amount of butter used so it was all very dry, even with the syrup. My daughter’s ’fruit’ pancakes similarly dry and the fruit…. Two small halved strawberries, 4 thin slices of banana and 6 blueberries. Hardly generous. Very disappointing!!! £20 not well spent

Rhys and Ezme fantastic service made our day perfect after an awful start it was our 34 wedding anniversary. Thank you both

A fine meal. Tasty and well-presented. Service was great too.

Great service from the staff this evening

We only had cheese toasties but no salad garnish, served with a packet of crisps. Have been here before, very enjoyable main course, maybe an off day today.

Amazing vegan breakfast ("The Plant Plate"). Had never had the "Ogg" eggs before; was afraid they'd be too much like chicken eggs. They were light and fluffy and delicious with the Sriracha sauce provided, and not "eggy" at all. Everything else was equally tasty, if more familiar. We both ordered the same thing, and loved every bite. Wish I could give more than 5 stars for the food. Service was fast and friendly. Go there!

Esmie are server 10/10 outstanding.

Best burger found here in Newbury

Great service especially from Claudia!

Great meal out. Would recommend

claudia was amazing and so lovely had has a good birthday

Perfect place and atmosphere for my mother daughter date and the service was great!!!

Amazing food, amazing service and lovely decor!

Fantastic food, super tasty, and plenty to fill you up. Service was perfect, could not have been any better. The atmosphere was pretty chill, very nice environment to be in.

We dined in as a table of 15 for a birthday party. Archie was absolutely excellent, kept us well looked after and was great. Food was enjoyable as always.

I visited yesterday with my daughter and her bridesmaids-to-be and enjoyed a delicious lunch all served to us by the lovely Caroline, the best waitress you could hope for in every way. She made our visit so enjoyable that we are all now making plans to come again soon. Thank you Caroline, you’re a credit to the restaurant!

Archie was the hero of the day! Excellent service and amazing chat.

Breakfast was great, lovely service from Vanessa

Another really nice visit to Bill's in Newbury. Thank you to Archie and the team!

This was strange as I expected cafe so when met with a guy that showed us to a table. A posh concept for a cafe but I have to say say the man was very professional and good at his job as were all of the serving staff. The surroundings were very nice too apart from one family where the children were behaving very badly without parental intervention. Dangerous with hot food and drink around. My problem was with the food, it did not match the rest. I had a breakfast consisting of two eggs ( one was overcooked and the other undercooked to the point where the white was unco ), mushroom which were overcooked and dry ( I suspect they were not very fresh ). I had swapped the Cumberland sausage for extra bacon which was tough and rubbery very much like my one and only attempt to cook it in a microwave. There was a tomato but it was not cooked which is an optional taste I know. The only thing which met expectations was the lightly toasted sourdough bread with real butter. So the food side was the main complaint. One other point is that all of Newbury seems to accept card payments only, coming from an IT security environment, is short sighted and an easy was to force a service charge. To me a service charge is a tip which is dependant service and quality of the food at that single transaction. Did not see any notices advising of each policy till it came time to pay which is, arguably, theft. So thanks to excellent service staff but due to the quality of the food and the way the place is managed I will not return.

Had a brilliant night all to the thanks of Archie. Was only staying for a drink but ended up staying the evening. Archie looked after us so well, entertained us, and thanks to him we enjoyed a great evening of lovely drinks and tasty food. Highly recommend and look out for Archie. He is a legend!

Great service and delicious food. Toby was polite and helpful

Visited for breakfast. Good menu, pleasant staff.

Toby was truly excellent and seemed to really enjoy his job. The food - breakfast and the garden was perfect

Love the back Mediterranean garden and the food was superb

We were celebrating my father’s 89th birthday. The staff on arrival were very attentive, the restaurant itself is elegantly and tastefully decorated, with a truly homely feel. We were shown to our table which was perfect for our large family group. The delicious food was served promptly. The staff were aware it was a birthday celebration and suggested for a bit of fun to serve a birthday brownie after our meal with sparklers and candles finishing off a lovely experience. We all agreed staff were faultless

The food was good, the service was great. Although I hope to see more variety on the menu in future. There used to be lots of choice but now there is not much. Would come back again staff were all lovely and welcoming :)

Very friendly service, nice food and the new interior looks fabulous

Served by Ibi, lovely staff and amazing food as always

The food I had was nearly perfect (I'm fairly fussy). Could not fault the service. The staff were very attentive and chatty. The place is nicely decorated and clean. I will definitely return again and try the dinner menu.

Refurbed Bills. Service was great. Food / coffee as expected. Archie was a great server - he made our brunch really special and so much more than the usual High Street experience- he deserves a big shout out for doing a great job and showing attentive, friendly service.

Archie was very warm and friendly, accommodating us with a warm smile.

Lovely friendly staff who told me about the kids eat for free. Service was very quick and the new refurb looks lovely.

Archie was very friendly and provided us with excellent service

Lovely service and really friendly atmosphere

We arrived with a booking but hadn’t received a confirmation email and they couldn’t find the booking. Even though they were really busy they still found us a table for 5. It was really wonderful.

Served by Archie, who was really helpful and accommodating with our requests

Brilliant breakfast outside at Bills in Newbury. Met by the Manager in a super bright ‘duck shirt’ so kind and helpful. Amazing lady called Caroline looked after us, she made our visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommend Bills for a perfect Breakfast, Dog Friendly, great staff, lovely atmosphere, highly recommended, thank you.

Good atmosphere and service, although a bit rapid. Enjoyed the menu.

Came into bills for a dinner and the service was fantastic especially Carl and Rihanna who greeted us warmly and made us feel so welcome! xx

We really enjoyed it and had a great time. The food was good especially the chips which has rosemary on and salt and it was so so hot, which you don’t see in usual restraunt . The Menu has a sufficient amount of options and this what you love to see. The service was great especially Archie who looked after us thoroughly, throughout the night. Thanks Bill

I went to bills for dinner and was greeted by Rihanna who was lovely and very attentive. Thank u Bills!!

Popped in for dinner with some friends. Was greeted by Rihanna at the door who accomodated all of our needs. Food was brilliant highly recommend the caesar salad xxx

We sat in the lounge which had self service however were still greeted and assisted by our wonderful waitress Rihanna. The grain bowl was very tasty and a vegan option. Would come here again.

Never disappoints, Archie served us today and was really great with our 3 year old, chatting away and really attentive. This is the best place for food and service in Newbury bar none! All the staff have the same positive, friendly attitude and it clearly comes from the leadership of the management staff who are great. We're very lucky to have this place so local to us.

Nicely decorated, plenty of choice for vegetarians (not found everywhere here). Immediately received water and glasses on the table, also experienced for the first time here in Newbury. Super nice. Salad was delicious and of a good size - very good in terms of price and quality. And very friendly service.

Carl was great, friendly and full of enthusiasm! Food was very tasty. Will be back

Food was amazing, great service and atmosphere

First time here and it was the best vegan breakfast I've had. I had an extra of smashed avocado along with my plant plate breakfast. It was presented beautifully and tasted divine! The staff were friendly and I loved the decor. Really nice place - will definitely return! The blue light card is accepted here.

Reece was absolutely amazing, we felt so welcome. He is a real professional.

Had a couple of hours to kill in Newbury, wanted breakfast and google gave me this gem. Really nice place. Food is a solid 3/5 nothing special, could be way better at this price point. Service was excellent and friendly, i think it was Hope who served me. For a Monday morning, she was friendly and welcoming. Will definitely return next time I'm in town

Caroline looked after us and she was lovely! Friendly, chatty and clearly keeping an eye out to help us throughout, even when it was busy.
