About the restaurant

Bill, the man, the myth, the legend, was born and bred here in Lewes. That's why the town proudly hosts the original Bill's restaurant, and dare we say it, it's still the best - not only because it's our firstborn. Located right by the River Ouse, it's the perfect spot for a boujee breakfast, laid-back lunch or delightful dinner. Swing by at the weekend and treat yourself to our bottomless brunch, granting you 90 minutes of unlimited prosecco or cocktails plus food from our brunch or main menu. Tempted? Join us by the river at the OG Bill's for a dining experience to savour.

About the restaurant

We started Fatto a Mano in Brighton in 2015, serving authentic and affordable Neapolitan pizza, made with fresh ingredients, in a friendly environment. For us, everything starts with our dough. Soft and pillowy, our pizza dough is made fresh every day, using only the best Italian 00 flour, salt, water and yeast. We let our dough prove for at least 24 hours – the slow proving means we’re able to use minimal quantities of yeast, so our pizzas are light and easily digestible. We use carefully selected Italian and local British ingredients from a handful of small, independent suppliers to top our pizzas. Finally, our pizzaioli cook the pizzas in our oven at about 450 degrees, for no more than 90 seconds, in true Neapolitan style.

About the restaurant

Hop aboard the second-ever Bill's when you visit our restaurant in Brighton. While it's no longer a bus depot, our Brighton restaurant still transports you towards good times. Early birds can tuck into tasty breakfast favourites, from tea and toast to pancakes and hearty English or Mediterranean breakfasts. Later in the day, explore our lunch and dinner menus, complemented by a range of classic cocktails. Did we mention that we're just up the road from the seafront? So, there's no excuse to miss Bill's Brighton, even if you get lost in the Lanes.
