About the restaurant

You'll find it hard to believe you're in a busy town when you visit Bill's restaurant in Guildford. Step through the doors and be greeted by vaulted ceilings, mood lighting and food that looks too good to eat (#getitonthegram). Whether you're planning a cosy date night in one of our tucked-away booths or a celebration in our spacious private dining area (don't worry, your secret's safe with us!), Bill's has you covered. Take a seat, grab a menu and explore European dishes with a twist, with breakfast, lunch and dinner options available. And if you're just popping in for drinks - don't worry. We've put together a fabulous beverage menu, including all your favourite cocktails.
