Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out friendly, helpful service, with staff who talk through the menu and handle allergies well: a separate gluten menu, patient help with a coeliac and dairy intolerant order, and support for a child's milk allergy. The food earns praise too, especially the pancakes, the onion rings and a turmeric latte, along with delicious cocktails and a great Sunday lunch, and courses arrive without a long wait. Noise is the recurring complaint from dine-in guests. The restaurant is described as very loud, the music makes diners raise their voices, and one table by the toilet had a door with a broken soft close that banged every half minute. One reviewer felt the atmosphere fell short of other branches. The sharpest complaint is a Deliveroo order of burgers that arrived burnt and apparently reheated near closing. The reviewer found no phone line and only pre-set live chat, and the refund covered just the burgers, while the halloumi, fries and onion rings were fine.

“Really lovely brunch with friends today. All staff were welcoming and friendly, Ellie in particular was attentive and super helpful with our menu choices and so lovely. Absolutely loved my turmeric latte and the pancakes were amazing!”

“We enjoyed a great Sunday lunch at Bill’s Braintree, continuing the positive experiences we've had at Bill’s Oxford, Bluewater, and Soho. While the atmosphere at the Braintree restaurant didn't quite match the ambiance of those locations, the service more than made up for it. A special mention goes to Jaqs, who was exceptional throughout our visit. She was attentive, helpful, welcoming, and ensured every detail was taken care of. Her warm and professional approach significantly enhanced our overall experience. Thank you, Jaqs. Outstanding service really does make all the difference.”

“Went here for a cuppa and ended up ordering unlimited packages!!! They were absolutely fantastic and mega filling. Service was really good and they were very polite. We will be back again when we are next in Braintree.”

“Lily was great at helping with my son’s milk allergy. Drinks and order taken swiftly and staff were friendly. Food was yummy - we had a lovely family dinner of pancakes 🥞! Just what we needed :)”

“Had a really great experience at Bills with my girlfriend, after not having been for quite a long time. Service was really stand out, and both Jacob and Cameron were excellent! Jacob in particular was excellent, super lovely and was brilliant with helping with my girlfriend's order who is both coeliac, and dairy intolerant - he was very patient and helped explain the menu and advise what she could/couldn't have. The food itself was also superb, didn't have to wait long at all between courses and the food was excellent. (Would definitely recommend the onion rings!) Will definitely be back!”
