We only realised on the way to the restaurant that the performance started 30 earlier than we thought! To accommodate this oversight the staff fast tracked our order and still managed to deliver the usual excellent service and food which allowed us to get to the performance on time! This was greatly appreciated!More infoBill's Restaurant & Bar - BathPrice: Moderate• British• Bath•4.4
