   Had to ask for the coffee to be hot as it was luke warm- had to wave down the waitress to be served, food wasn't very warm, gluten free toast was rock hard and the sauce had gone hard on the plate so it had clearly been sitting under the lights for some time. Restaurant wasnt overly busy so not understood why we had to call the waitress to serve us. Disappointed overall.

   Dinner started ok. But then I got the wrong burger asked for black and gold and got a classic and my friends meal was very oily so she sent it back.. not a great experience.

    I’ve hadn’t been to bills for years but remembered it as a nice place. However we went to for a birthday breakfast and was really disappointed. The expensive smoothies where just poured out of bottles , so many lovely places in Norwich that make fresh smoothies straight from the fruit that are much cheaper this was highly disappointing. They also gave us loads of ice so hardly any juice. My son ordered pancakes with fruit and they had hardly any fruit more like a garnish this was so tight and very disappointing. Our muffins where ok nothing like local independent cafe near by. All tasted ship brought I don’t imagine they make the for muffins of pancakes tasted processed. And it was very expensive and the service charge doesn’t go to the staff. Really disappointing we won’t be returning.

    First impression when walking in is wow!!! The decor is wonderful, clean and greeted by friendly staff with warming smiles. Two floors for dining. Downstairs bar area is large, upstairs seating area is very large, can accommodate large groups with ease but it doesn’t feel you’re on top of the next table. Menu has wonderful yet modern take on home comfort food. Meatballs were amazing, my wife’s chicken was excellent. Very accommodating for our autistic daughter for her dietary needs. Dessert menu has a good choice. Everything was a good price, drinks menu was extensive. Very clean throughout. Staff were very good, attentive, always there to help their customers. Keep up the good work.

    It was okay. It was very very expensive for burger and chips though; portions were not very big. Paying £1.95 for cheese and another £1.95 for bacon on top of the £12 proceed is outrageous for a 2 rashers of wafer thin bacon and sprinkle of cheese. The burger buns were tough; so tough that my youngest lad couldn't even eat his, he couldn't chew through it. My burger was requested medium (as asked by the server) but it was thoroughly cooked through, and very dry. Just as dried up as my kids burgers. Why bother asking if you're just going to overcome it anyway? The fries were described as 'rosemary salted fries' but had never seen anything rosemary salted in their short, deep fried lives. The starters were tasty but again small for the price. So in all, it was below average at (best) with a high price.

    Nice atmosphere and service was good. Food was nice. £28.50 for a bottle of ok prosecco and a 12.5% service charge were a bit excessive.

    My friend and I both enjoyed our lunch at Bills in Norwich when we visited recently not so sure about the service charge being added to the bill ! That should be optional when paying the bill … we did in the end pay it but might not best time .. would like to be asked first !

    It was great overall, but the dessert I chose was disappointing; Apple pie sundae. It consisted of a tin mug with one scoop of ice cream, some biscuit crumbs, a few bits of cooked apple, a few slices of green apple and two shortbread wafers.. No cream or sauce and I wasn't impressed.

    Our experience at Bill's was wonderful. We booked our table online, without preselecting a preferred table. The hostess was warm and welcoming and showed us to a table. Being picky, I requested to sit at an unoccupied booth which hadn't been set up. The staff were extremely accommodating and made this possible. It was perfect! Our waitress was lovely- all smiles, very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Our food was delivered by another attentive waiter and the hostess wonderfully. The food was amazing! My only (teeny tiny) ism was the amount of extra virgin olive oil on the garlic flat bread- BUT, the garlic was there without being 'too much' CALAMARI WHITE- DO IT PEOPLE, THE BEST YOU'LL GET IN NORWICH!!!!!!! Eggs benedict with fries- what can I say? PERFECTION. Chef, please don't ever change that, EVER!!!!!!! Classic burger- Again, PERFECTION!! Wine... the Sauvignon Blanc was OK, but not super- it lacked a cetain signature boldness, however the Pinot Grigio delivered on crispy zesty, it was really lovely . Peach Mint Ice Tea- Always a favourite everytime! Overall, a MASSIVE thank you to ALL the staff who made my and my daughters' experience so so lovely again!!!

    We had a very pleasant waiter but she wasn't on top of our order. She had to be reminded to bring the wine and then the fries. House salad was OK but the salad served on the plate with the mains was stale and lifeless. I made the mistake of ordering a starter and a main that were both fried in breadcrumbs because the crab cake starter did not make it clear that they were fried. Good taste though. We had breaded chicken breast with fried egg on top with slaw. A large portion. It was OK but unexciting. Average food. It would be good to see a simple pasta on the menu. The disabled toilet on the ground floor was broken - the flush did not work. No sign to say out of order. Baby changing mat could do with a good clean.
