Went for a birthday brunch today with family. Friendly efficient staff and a good atmosphere. Food came quickly and looked delicious. Our sausages were very underdone, but after a quick word with our server, they were replaced with lovely well cooked ones and we had a lovely meal. Would recommend.

Good atmosphere. I had bacon pancakes. Bacon was a bit hard and pancakes stodgy. I felt like we were rushed. We weren’t even in there for 2 hours and there were people queuing to get in so clearly needed our table. Company was the best thing about it!

My sister and I are frequent visitors to Lewes where Bill's is our favourite restaurant. They have never failed to please, tasty food, prompt service and convivial atmosphere. Today was no exception when they were extremely busy. Special thanks to Izzy.

Fantastic service and a really good meal. Very noisy so hard to hear our table plus extra portion of halloumi was only 2 slides for £4 ( expensive). Toilets are not nice, they need to be cleaned more frequently
