Great service from delightful, attentive , lovely characterful building with great atmosphere - lively so not so suitable for a really intimate meal perhaps but perfect for our visit. Only teeny suggestion is the gnocchi I had the sauce was a bit Luke warm and maybe not as seasoned as I’d like but overall delicious. Looking forward to returning in a the future (first visit). Also the ladies toilets were heated ! one of my absolute pet peeves eating out is freezing cold facilities - a remarkably common occurrence 😂

Right in the middle of the town, Bill's St Albans restaurant has a real Bill's vibe, open for breakfast, lunch, dinner and everything in between. Previously a bar, we refurbished the building, exposing brickwork and other long lost features along the way, to create a warm and characterful restaurant.

Warm welcome on arrival. Staff went above and beyond to check allergens in their dishes. Good choice on the wine list. Food outstanding and presentation was good. Their Beetroot and goat’s cheese starter was excellent. Definitely recommend. We will be returning.

We booked a table for 5pm through Open Table but the day before the booking I was told that they didn't have a sitting at 5pm on New Year's Day and they couldn't understand how I'd managed to book it. They said they could give us a table for 4:30pm so I opted for that but when the reservation was sent to me it was for 4pm. The restaurant was busy as was the pub area. The service was fair but a drink was missed from our order and we had to re ask for it. The sea bream dish was very good but on the light side, the fish pie was one of the best I've ever eaten. My sister and brother in law had chicken wings and a beef burger, which they said were great. The wine list is fair, and the double espresso was authentic. We didn't have desserts. The staff could have been more attentive but it was busy for New Year's Day. We would return though as it was a quality meal.

The buzz was great, service was attentive and prompt. The only shame was the ribs for everyone at our table (8people) were dry, which given its a bbq niche place was surprising.
