   Food great, service great, views from the front of the restaurant are dismal and depressing. Boarded-up Debenhams store. Nothing that Bills can do about it but if you get the choice don't sit at the window.

   The food took over a hour to our table after our order and it was mostly cold, we were charged for items twice on the bill and it was removed but, for a establishment that was recommended to us, I found this experience very poor. Food quality was ok, but length to to wait was dreadful.

    Took my partner for her birthday. Had to put that down when booking but no idea why as made no difference whatsoever when we were there. Menu seems to be quite limited and getting relatively expensive now, but maybe that’s a sign of the time. Also not that interesting. Starters took forever to come and my burger was pink in the middle despite asking for it well done. Drinks menu showed Peroni by the pint, but was served a large bottle for some reason I’d recommend the dumplings to start and the truffle chicken on the other table looked much better than the burgers we had. Otherwise we love the atmosphere and ambiance in Bills and as always the staff were very nice and very professional and looked after us.

    Sadly, Bill’s Eastbourne does not have the same ‘vibe’ as other Bill’s in Sussex. Also, we weren’t happy with the recent menu changes.

    Would found the food enjoyable and the service was good, the ambience was good not to noisy and we also enjoyed the background music, but there's always a but, the size and price for the drinks were a bit pricey, my wife liked her drink but it was very small and my beer was small and very overpriced

    Always enjoyable experience at Bills. Not been for a while so good to go back. We were a party of three and all had different brunch options and all very good. Service was very friendly- a few issues- long wait even though not busy and a few errors on the order.

    Lovely food. Accommodated for a gluten free guest, a partially deaf guest who had forgotten their hearing aid and a mum on Mother’s Day. All in all went well. Side note for future visits is that the 12.5% service charge is optional so if you want to tip your waiter/waitress direct ask for it to be removed from the total shown otherwise you are paying extra.

    The Lewes restaurant used to be fantastic, but with each visit to Bills it becomes more disappointing. There were only four of us, yet one meal arrived almost ten minutes after the rest were served. We had to wait what seemed little forever for our food to arrive. The food served was okay, but nothing to write home about. I had the seabass and the hollandaise was missing and they didn’t have the fried potatoes- which makes me assume they don’t prep on site anymore. I was pleased that there is now more variety on the kids’ menu, and they really enjoyed their desserts. The kids’ menu is value for money. It’s just an average meal out now- which is a shame, because Bills used to be up there for its high-quality produce and little extras.

    Very attentive staff. Very busy as Mother's Day and they warned us there was a longer wait for food. Food was lovely lobster linguine. Great flatbreads. Restaurant was clean and tidy. Great value and they take Blue light card 20% discount. Would definitely go back to try normal menu.

    Had a good experience after a very long food delay which was handled very well by the management of the Bill's in Eastbourne. Kindly offered our meal to us free of charge. This luckily has saved their reputation for me and will return in the future.

    We were there for a family breakfast. The restaurant was very busy as it was Mother's Day and I cannot fault the service received! However, the food was terrible. I didn't have the heart to say to the waitress as it was not her fault, she was extremely busy and did try her best! The bagel my Mother received, clearly toasted from frozen and not toasted enough! The outside was barely crispy and the inside, solid frozen dough. My Wife's pancakes, were they packet pancakes heated? They were extremely dry! The 2 other meals were the big breakfasts, one with an extra sausage the other extra mushrooms, however, where was the Black pudding on the 2nd? It was on the 1st? Again, I really didn't want to kick up a fuss as the restaurant was so busy and it could have been a lot worse! Our waitress was great and couldn't have been better so we thought we'd just carry on but between us, we won't be returning. Very sorry Bills.

    Our own waiter (dead ring for Louis Theroux) was great but finished shift before we left. However, we were left outside in the cold for some time before deciding to enter as people were blocking the entrance waiting for a table. It was a wait if 45 minutes before food was served but food was very enjoyable except for the warm beer. My husband was also ignored by a waitress when asking for the bill. Eye contact is clearly avoided! 😂.

    Waiting staff were lovely but the general service was very poor. I was part of a group of four and none of our meals came at the same time. Two of us were finished before the other two even had their food in front of them. There were four or five dishes on the menu that we wanted but were told that they had run out of all of them, so our choices were very limited in the end. The food we got was was OK, but nothing special.
