Bill's Restaurant & Bar - Newbury in West Berkshire

We fancied a burger and stumbled into Bills. What a fabulous choice. The service from Serena was outstanding. She even took photos of ingredients from the kitchen to reassure my wife that her allergies would be ok. A wonderful atmosphere and vibe in the restaurant. We will be back!!!

This is hands-down our favorite restaurant—it’s our top pick every single time! We’ve been coming here regularly, and it never disappoints. The food is absolutely amazing—always fresh, full of flavor, beautifully presented, and made with real care. You can tell the kitchen takes real pride in what they serve. On this visit, we were looked after by Caroline, and she was just wonderful! So sweet, friendly, and attentive—she made us feel genuinely welcome and relaxed from the moment we sat down. Every time we come, the service is spot-on. From the atmosphere to the service to the food—everything is just brilliant. It’s the kind of place that makes you excited to come back. Whether it’s a casual meal or a special night out, this restaurant always hits the mark. If you haven’t been yet, you’re seriously missing out!

We had a wonderful visit! Jonny was so attentive and made us feel so welcome. The food was delicious, I had the BBQ Bourbon Burger and Korean loaded fries. Full of flavour and did not disappoint! Big shout out to Jonny for accommodating us late in the evening and being so friendly!

The fruit drinks tasted off & the service was rude, arrogant & intimidating.

Oh we went for lunch here and the service was really really good. The food was tip top too. Cooked really well, tasty and good portion sizes. The staff were fantastic, the restaurant was really busy and we got served within good time.

Bills' Cafe, a short poem. Last year, Bills' cafe threw the waitress away! They brought in an app, that was crap. The customers were fuming, they left for a while Bills', said "what can we do?" They've left poor reviews, they missed our great waitress, and her warm freindly smile. Bill's listened, hoorah, and brought back the waitress, the service the smile. This should be commended, So Bills' is reccomended. 5 stars, good food, good service.

Rhys was very friendly and gave great service.

Wonderful atmosphere and excellent food and service. Thank you Serena

A very pleasant place for breakfast. Staff happy and attentive right from the start to end

Staff service was excellent. Went here for brunch with my family and it was really nice and food quality is a 5. Definitely coming back!!

Excellent food and fantastic service highly recommend 😊

Great food, great service, great atmosphere- love that doggies are allowed and the relaxed tables they have - only draw back really was a slightly limited menu... made up for with such tasty and variety of food BUT they don't take cash.... really?! Annoying....

Amazing experience today at Bills. Byw the discount with Blue Card hep us a lot. Always amazing food, service, and environment. My family loved. The falafel is divine.

Nikki was a fabulous, friendly waitress. Really enjoyed our food. Fabulous experience as always at Newbury Bills. Can’t wait to come back.

Such a lovely place and service

Food was great, Jade was amazing, real breathe of fresh air. 10/10

The staff were great but the food felt like it came from a factory. Better nosh at home! 🤔

The food is really outstanding! Every meal we had was full of flavor and cooked to perfection. Hands down, some of the most delicious food I've eaten lately! The staff are very friendly and make the environment even more pleasant. The decor is amazing, it makes me want to be there all day.

Nice place, nice staff, tad pricey for us

As an American, these are seriously the best pancakes I have ever had outside the US. The staff is super friendly, lovely environment, and a great place to dine in Newbury.

Nice atmosphere, but waited for a long time (est 30-45 min) untill the food arrived

Been to several Bills now and Newbury was hands down the best of the lot. Definitely coming again.

I took my dad here for a birthday breakfast beginning of February. Serena was our waitress, she was lovely and friendly. Food was served quickly, and it was delicious! After our food they sang happy birthday whilst bringing a birthday brownie with a candle out! They go above and beyond for special occasions. ⭐

Amazing fun night out food was great and our waitress Caroline was amazing

Brilliant food with great service, couldn’t recommend more!

Very attentive with allergies and our waiter Archie was top notch and came in clutch with some solid recommendations too!

Interesting menu. Hopeful staff. Great place.

Busy restaurant, great food. Cozy atmosphere

There was a bone in my food and chips were cold

Top quality, bit expensive but you get what you pay for.

Regular breakfast venue for us. Fabulous food.

Chilled great food excellent service

Warm welcome, nice food, good value.

A warm and friendly welcome, a lovely atmosphere and the perfect pit stop for lunch while out shopping. The pink lemonade was delicious 😋

Driver didn’t call to ask for directions, drove past the house 4 times. Was rude because he couldn’t find the house

Great food, hot & tasty. Will be ordering again!

Went to Bill’s on Sunday and had the big brunch and a cappuccino. Both were lovely and the staff were great, food came out quick, overall great. Don’t forget you can get 20% off with Unidays from Sunday to Friday too.

Disappointed that my food arrived cold, even though it was delivered on time

Lovely place First time, and I didn't know. Definitely, I would come back.

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 😀

My fries were missing off my order

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.

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

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

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.

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 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.

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

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

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!

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

Speedy service and lovely staff, especially Caroline

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.

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.

Did not even receive the order

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...?

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!

Best burger found here in Newbury

Esmie are server 10/10 outstanding.

Great service especially from Claudia!

claudia was amazing and so lovely had has a good birthday

Great meal out. Would recommend

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