Fantastic lunch at Bill's this week. I took my two neices during half-term and the staff were really friendly, taking our orders quickly and the drinks and food arrived promptly. Kids eat free deal is amazing, good portion size, and they provided water on the table automatically (I hate having to ask!) Online booking really easy and nice atmosphere in the restaurant.
