   We chose Bills on a visit to reading has we have eaten at a Bills restaurant before. The place was busy and our order was taken soon after sitting. The food was very nice however it took over an hour to arrive and we were given no apology or excuse

   Had a lovely birthday meal here. Had to send the lobster linguine back because no lobster in it. When it came out again it was excellent. Recommend it.

    Very helpful staff, lovely food but I refused the yogurt I should have asked for hummus. We were very well looked after. It was a wonderful experience

    Over the last few weeks I have attended 4 times for breakfast. On three occasions the eggs were cold and the hot drinks too. I think there are some developing quality issues. On easter Monday , I visited with a guest and was escorted to a table which was not ready. We than has a 5 minute wait which was embarassing Seems like a few new staff and a manager who need to get a grip I think I will give it a miss and go elsewhere next time.

    Nice place, lunch menu not as broad as the dinner menu but understandable. Still good value. Took our grandchildren 11 & 9 and they enjoyed it. Service was good, paced about right even with the kids

    the goujons of cod were overcooked and dry. Coating was hard and had to be abandoned. Not impressed by the present menu, chili in most things. service was hurried at first but our waitress eventually left us to relax after being asked I've been to Bill's at Reading for many years but seem to enjoy it less and less as time goes by.

    We came as a group of 8, were welcomed and shown to our table. The order for drinks was taken and they were delivered promptly. The food order was taken and there was a little wait but this was understandable as the restaurant was very busy. When the food came one meal was only tepid so the member of our party asked for it to be heated up, the waiter said that he would get the meal replaced, which he did and very quickly too. Overall, a lovely lunchtime meal.

    What a lovely experience! We were running approx 10 mins late, so phoned in advance, got through to someone relatively quickly and explained we were running late. The lady confirmed our booked and told us that wouldn’t be a problem and they’d see us soon. Arrived and was seated promptly, with a lovely polite waitress who attended to us. She was so polite and gave us time to chat and catch up without pushing us for our food choice. We ordered a drink that wasn’t on the breakfast menu and that was accommodated to with no problem. The food was lovely and beautifully presented, and overall very good value for money. My friend and I sat and chatted for a good few minutes after the waiter brought us over the bill and we’d settled up, there was no pressure for us to rush and get out, unlike in other places when you’ve settled up the bill. Overall a really lovely experience with a vibrant atmosphere. Although it was a busy Saturday brunch time, it didn’t feel frantic even though there were many people dining. Based on this experience we will definitely be back again.

    We had a work team lunch and had an absolutely wonderful time; food and drinks were decently priced and the portion sizes are huge. The gluten free menu was very accommodating too. The staff were polite and friendly. The only downside is that the lighting isn't great for those with sight difficulties, I'm thinking a hi-vis strip on the stairs may be helpful for those requiring it.

    Welcome was good. Like the new revamp of the space. Halloumi fries starter was the best starter I have ever had. We also had the flatbreads which were lovely to use up on the left over sauces. My partner had the tuna starter which he enjoyed followed by eggs benedict, also good. I had the Bill's burger which I always have and it was as good as ever. We followed that up with the cinnamon doughnuts and the apple pice. Doughnuts were lovely but the apple pie dessert in a mug wasn't the best. It was the only let down of the food. We had a lovely attentive and personable waiter, we can't fault the service. We will be back very soon!

    Perfect venue for a ‘post Covid’ get together after two years. We sat outside but the table was set nicely and the service was prompt and polite. All ‘foodie foibles’ were taken care of with a smile and the food was well cooked and tasty

    Table booked for Mothers Day - no mention on website that the usual menu wouldn't be available - had to choose from special mothers day menu - limited choice compared to usual. Got a "complimentary pudding" described as apple pie - was disappointing - like an upside-down sundae/crumble and cold. On a normal day, we love Bills, but this time we were really disappointed
