Bill's Produce Store

Visited Bill's in early October with a friend who lives nearby and recommended it strongly.

Although busy the service was bright and attentive without being pushy.

I orded a steak sandwich which would satisfy a hungry American. It was biiiig.

The delicious looking cakes were not an option.

Well cooked (not overdone) andvery tasty.

I'd go again.

I think Bills is great, you cannot get a more beautiful or bigger jacket potatoe anywhere. I have also had a cheese cake from Bills for a special birthday and it was to die for, a work of art . Just like a New York cheesecake, if fed about 30 people. I think Bills is very reasonable, you only get what you pay for.

Quite greasy which I didn't expect for such a healthy looking place, but original indeed....some dishes at least......

This place has a very nice atmosphere, with good décor and reasonable service.

The food is alight, but sooooo overpriced. Having said that, it seems to be full most of the time.

I had my lunch there just today with a friend of mine. The first time I went to eat at Bill's, I was impressed and like the "different" atmosphere. Yet it didn't take me long to find out that there food, although local and organic, was just mediocre. As has been reviewed, the salads are bland, over-coloured, and have no flavour. However, what I can always recommend are their cakes...they are yummy! The service is ok but it can get pretty crowded at lunch and noisy. You may have to wait for a very long time when you order from the "little" kitchen that they have at lunch. Not a place to relax and enjoy your food as you may have to share a table for four with two others. And I also think that this place is really over priced.

Oh dear... crowded, noisy, over-hyped and priced, and over-the-top COLD food!

Today's foliage-festival of a lunch at Bills did little to justify the 3 hour train journey that I took to get there, for my son's belated birthday lunch - his restaurant choice. Having ordered a Caesers salad, I was then informed that it was off the menu, it had been 'put away' - pardon? Where - back in the fridge?

No denying they serve a dense kalidoscope of rainbow-coloured "salad". Plowing my way through yellow cauliflower, orange coated and purple-dyed potatoes (I think thats what the odd lumps were!), squiggy tomatoes, dehydrated beetroot and the odd green bean, aside a forest of leaves - was like being in a maze - puzzling. Meanwhile one son's cold pizza with the inevitable flora and the other's £10 pauper's "platter" of cold meats, did nothing to reduce our overall dismay. Hunger was at least held at bay by tasty orange juice and a yogurt smoothie.

The overall impression was of a cold, refrigerated rainbow. Where was the aroma of hot food, the sizzling sounds of cooking, the sigh of feeling well-fed?

Bills might be bustling and colourful, but the place lacks the warmth that only a good, hearty meal can give.

Went to Bill's to see what all the fuss was about. The food was quite nice but extremely similar to the Sanctuary, where I think you get bigger portions. (I wonder if they copied the sanctuary's menu - it's suspiciously similar!!) Couldn't relax due to a constant string of people queuing next to our table and the waiters and waitresses leaning on the back of my chair whilst chatting! Very overgarnished food as well - the basic food was very tasty - I don't need half a compost heap on top of the already complex salad.

I love the overall vibe of Bills, being surrounded by colorful organic fruit and veg, however, being a ceoliac (one whom is allergic to gluten), found that they were'nt very accomodating. When I asked whey they don't offer any gluten-free options they said that they had thought about it, but because they were really buisy they didn't really think they needed to. I was then told that they could prepare me a salad plate, let me tell you how boring it can be going out for lunch as a ceoliac when all there is on offer is more bloody salad! And at £7.95 for a plate of greens for lunch. No thanks, I'll go somewhere where people are a little more understanding and helpful to my medical condition.

My freind bought me lunch in Bills last weekend for my birthday. She had been there before and thought the portion sizes had gone down. In fact we were both so disappointed by the size of the goats cheese tart and two salads (£7.95) that we ordered a slice of pizza between us to fill up. The herb salad was v nice and the butter bean salad very tasty, but as I say the tart was too small. I though the pizza was too much dough and too little topping but perhaps that's me.

We then went for the spectacular cakes and again my friend thought the portion size had gone down. The cakes were certainly the most exceptionally creative cakes and very delicious, but so they should be at the price.

The waiting staff were very attentive and we didn't have to wait as it was mid afternoon. I'd think twice about visiting again however simply on value for money grounds.
