As always a real pleasure to have lunch out at Bills. Get the app and you get some great offers. This month I got free Prosecco for my birthday and also 20% of the food!

I have only one question??? WHY is a SERVICE CHARGE a COMPULSORY ITEM??? I am a pensioner and a widower who is living on a budget. Good service? Then leaving a tip on the table is OPTIONAL!!!! But NOT a compulsory one.

Booked a post family Wedding brunch at Bill's on Wednesday 18/09/24 at short notice. The Team at Bill's were first class in, not only taking a booking for 14, but for the care, preparation and service they had shown, once they found out it was after a family Wedding for my Partner's Daughter and Son-in-law Lorna and Ed. Our Server, a lovely Lady named Rosie, couldn't be more helpful. Not only did She and the Team prepare the table, but procured balloons, a celebration card and bottle of fizz for our happy couple. First class effort, thank you so much Rosie and Team Bill. We will be back.

Avoid at all costs if you have allergies. My mum went to eat there on her birthday and she specifically told them about the two allergies she has, an hour later she was being taken to A&E by ambulance after two adrenaline shots from paramedics. She didn’t go or eat anything in between. Luckily she made a full recovery in the hospital and the way Bill’s dealt with this situation is absolutely shocking. They said they have an external company who ‘investigated’ the incident, no one called us to ask what happened, no CCTV was reviewed, they didn’t even know my mums name when they wrote to us to say they’ve completed their ‘investigation’, and of course they didn’t know any of the details. Absolutely shocking this happens nowadays and I will continue to spread the word about what has happened to us and how Bill’s treated us. Beware if you have any allergies and eat there

Review update September 2024. This restaurant is now cashless. I do not support cashless establishments in today's society. Service was slow. No seating allowed outside until 10am due to staff shortages apparently. The food was very dry with over cooked chicken. Sauces are sparse and I had to ask twice for some. I feel the evening menu prices arnt worth it after the latest menu change. Very dirty outside chair cushions. Rubbish around the back of the restaurant. The menu is different from breakfast to lunch and evening. All of the menus can be seen clearly online. Lots of seating areas both inside and outside, but can get busy especially in the summer so online booking is advised.. They currently have outdoor seating pods for winter outdoor dining. Saying that most of the outdoor area is still covered. You can sit outside with your dog if the dog is well behaved.. The doughnut dessert with chocolate sauce is delicious.. My only negative would be that the cocktails arnt worth the money.

Came here for breakfast and had the breakfast burger (not on their online menu but is instore) - sausage patty, bacon, egg, spinach and cheese sauce. Unfortunately, the burger had no taste. The patty was flavourless, the cheese sauce didn't taste like cheese, it was very bland. This brunch comes with fries, would be good to have an alternative if you're having brunch at 10am like I was 😄 The portion sizes are good however and I can't fault the service as it was pretty busy! The restaurant is really nice, well decorated but this is Bills thing so can't fault that either!

Very unfortunate experience for myself and family today. Started with a 20 minute wait for anyone to even take our order on what seemed a quiet operational day. People had been sat down 10 minutes after us and were being served and had recieved drinks and a main meal before we had even got our drinks. Even their dog was given water and a cake on arrival! This was then followed by a drink being poured all over myself once we were finally served and no apology to be seen by the waiting staff. We had ordered a sharing meal for three people and they brought only 2 plates. Once we asked for another plate, a completely dirty dish was then given which was sent back immediately. Thankfully they came back with 3 glasses of piss warm water to make up for the disappointment of an experience recieved so far. We were then asked if we wanted to pour the water back into the jug so they could just put ice in the already warm water. By this point we just got up and left. Pitiful

This is now our go-to place for lunch when visiting Rushden Lakes, especially if you’re able to get a table outside. Best book to guarantee a table outside though. For choice it’s great, especially for a coeliac who needs gluten free options.

Today I took my 1 and 2 year old for some lunch and to make the most of the fantastic Kids Eat Free offer. When I arrived a lovely waitress helped us to our table, I didn’t get her name. And she waited with my sons while I went to the WC. Another fab waitress Miriam, also waited and helped entertain the boys. They couldn’t do enough for us. My toddler was having a meltdown. They went above and beyond in offering to help. Miriam even gave him her own phone for him to watch peppy pig. Once everything had calmed down. I got to enjoy ceaser salad. The boys enjoyed their food and ice cream very much and they even brought out a complimentary drink. 5* service. £22 for all 3 of us! Wow.

Decided to sit outside as it was a nice day. Drinks orders for the party were taken promptly but that was the only positive. The restaurant wasn't particularly busy but after repeated attempts at trying to get someone to take the food order, decided to call it quits after 30 minutes. I would have paid for the drinks by scanning the qr code on the table but that would have meant agreeing to pay a 12% service charge. I therefore had to get a member of staff to sort this out and she showed no surprise or concern about the poor service.

Thank you for ruining our day 🥺 After several hours of shopping, we wanted to have a drink and a meal. It was sunny, around 2:20 PM. The lady who greeted us informed us that we could only sit inside. Outside, only a few tables were occupied, so we asked why🤔 since we had come here specifically to enjoy the beautiful weather, have some good food, and enjoy a few drinks in a lovely place. She told us she had already sent the staff home and there was no one to serve us outside. My wife asked if we could order and take everything to the table outside ourselves - unfortunately, the lady refused. My wife REALLY wanted to relax outside, so she asked: if we order just drinks and take them outside ourselves, would that be okay? Again, we were refused. So, we decided to find somewhere else, even though Bill's is our favorite spot here... After a walk around and a few minutes of disappointment, we passed by again and noticed that the lady allowed another couple and a family to sit at the outdoor tables. Feeling sad and disappointed, we going to home in a bad mood. On the way, we stopped at CHI, where we spent our money since Bill's didn't want it.

Didn't even go in after a so-called meet and greeter barked at us to go back and wait in the crowded outdoor space to wait to be seated. We looked round and there was no one there so we left. There are ways of getting your customers to comply with the set up without appearing to be more officious than a US Immigration Officer. A customer service course is absolutely needed before you lose more customers!

I took my son to Bills in Rushden for his birthday, he has Downs Syndrome and was very excited to celebrate his 36th birthday, the staff were so attentive towards him and made him feel really special, I’d ordered the Birthday Brownie dessert which was bought out with all the staff in attendance singing Happy Birthday, they then presented him with a gift which had been wrapped and had a personal birthday message written on, it turned out our waiter had heard me telling my friend that my son had started at cooking college and was thoroughly enjoying it, so they gave him a Bills Apron for a birthday gift, the staff were all young but so nice, friendly and empathetic, I cannot tell you how much this enhanced not only my son’s birthday but our whole evening, if any parents of Bills staff read this be proud of your son or daughter, they are a credit to you 🤩

Food was reasonable and it’s a lovely setting to eat in, but the service from staff other than the manager is consistently lacking at this Bills. Inattentive and lacking attention to detail - We had to ask numerous times for items, even when it was clear our food was going cold while we waited for sauces for example — it feels like hard work being a customer at this Bills as you are constantly monitoring to see if you are going to get the things you’ve asked for and ultimately what you will be charged for. With a standard 12% service charge added we left feeling there are better places at the Lakes to spend an evening.

Popped in for a beer on our way home. 2 330ml bottles of average beer came to £12.88. Nearly fainted. Charging just shy of £13 for by volume, just over a pint of beer. Don't even think Wembley would have the cheek to charge £12 a pint. Added some stealth charge as well either for a tip or a charge for bringing the bottles over to the table. Didn't get asked about this additional charge in any case. £13 for 660ml of beer. Disgusting.

Ok, this is beyond terrible. This is the 3rd time I am here and the first two times were spot on. Today though, was infuriating. We took the free kids meal deal on bank holiday Monday. They initially served warm battle of lager, when refused, they took 20 mins to serve 2 pints. Dog would not eat the food they served for kids. 2 week old oil, so, bitter chips, bitter fish. Over cooked pie and burnt burger. Just avoid.

We stayed here on two occasions, in our campervan to the rear of inn. Quiet and good location. We enjoyed a nights sleep during both our stays. The staff at the inn are fabulous, welcoming and friendly and the owners are really doing a great job. The food was delicious and the ambiance of the inn was just what you’d hope for, log fire burning in the hearth, dog friendly and lots of positive chatter. I’d recommend this as a stopover and eatery.
