    Their burgers are amazing! I got the vegan dirty burger and my wife had the bourbon burger. Two of our favourites at Bill's. Tried their Santorini vegan salad for the first time yesterday and it was absolutely lovely and fresh! We love going to Bill's - simply GREAT FOOD , we left so full and happy! Prices are good and reasonable. Service is Fantastic!

    We love Bills and the staff But they were so busy due to a silly offer on making the staff very busy for not a lot of return on a busy Friday evening . Head office need to be a little more clever on promotion offers when it’s quiet not when it’s busy

    I think the variety and quantity of food has diminished. There used to be some interesting items on the menu, it's nothing special any more. We had fish pie which had a lot of sauce and potato but only two prawns and not a lot of fish. The duck curry had great flavours but the dish was padded out with sugar snap peas and squash. Again, the sum quantity of rice, curry and accompaniments was somewhat frugal.

    Booked an offer of bottomless pancakes for £5. Arrived, ordered, ate and the bill didn't reflect the offer. Was told the offer is only on certain times. No mention of it before. So fathomed why I could book the offer through the link I was emailed and it not be valid. Was told, that was that. Not a massive issue but one to put me off going back,

    I really like visiting Reading and having a Bloody Mary to start. Be careful with the seasoning. I like the Big Brunch and my wife garden brunch. I find the staff are always up for a bit of banter. The restaurant was quiet to start with but really filled up as time went on. Very popular establishment. Well done to the staff in front and back of house.
