About Bill's Colchester Restaurant

Bill's Colchester Restaurant occupies a spot on High Street in the centre of Colchester, serving a British menu that runs from breakfast through to evening plates. Porridge appears on the morning side of the menu with blueberries alongside it, and the broader kitchen covers burgers, sausages and chicken wings. The dining room sits inside the restaurant, and dogs are welcome. Service runs across breakfast, afternoon and later hours, with the team taking walk-ins throughout the day.

Customer Review Summary

Across these eight reviews, diners split sharply between praising the staff and faulting the food. Several describe warm, welcoming service as the clear highlight, while others call the kitchen out for mistakes and inconsistency, including missing bacon, very small steak, and lumpy sausages. A few felt the prices did not match the quality.

    “The food has definitely gone down. I had avocado with bacon they forgot the bacon when it turned up it tasted like it was very cheap wafer thin bacon (awful) we had a kids porridge that we could have used as pasted the walls with when asked for more milk it came out steaming hot (for a 10month baby) also when asked where are the blueberries to go with it they come back and said "it doesn't come with blueberries it says raspberries" it clearly says on the menu blueberries but didn't get either our drinks were wrong. TBH definitely won't go back”
  • Tolulope Sawyerr
    “Average afternoon. I've been to far better Bills in London Westfield White city and Chelmsford. Staff were polite, friendly and helpful. However, the food was not as good as expected. Buns too crispy, burger too oily, steak very small, sausages lumpy and chicken wings not as tasty. Felt over priced for what was offered. Was a shame.”
