"It has been great watching this place go for strength to strength since it first arrived in Angel. I’d first heard about it from a friend who raved about the one in Covent Garden and I’ve enjoyed seeing more and more of them pop up in London. Even though Bill’s is starting to have franchise status it sticks to its roots by maintaining the lovely home grown feel that made it so successful. Bottles and jars of its specially sourced produce still line the walls, next to blackboards which exclaim the specials in a charmingly slap dash fashion. Bill’s is great for any time of day; I particularly like their lighter snacks at lunch time, having once had a beautifully fresh crab salad from the specials menu. But a real treat for me is to come here for brunch. The portion sizes are refreshingly large; go for a full English if you are feeling particularly hungry, a highlight of which are the Cumberland sausages which are thick and tasty. Even the buttered toast is a gorgeous salty delight, and is one of the best aspects of the huge serving of salmon and scrambled eggs on toast which is on offer. The one criticism I have is for the cream tea which didn’t quite live up to my expectations; it was nice but not up to the standard I have come to expect from Bill’s as the cakes were slightly dry and the sandwiches boring. But all in all Bill’s is fast becoming one of my favourite restaurants, for the colourful, pretty interior, friendly service and delicious indulgent food."

"not really Thai food lovers. probably one of the least tasty Thai meal I had. I took my friend who was an Olympic visit in the country, in the epsom thai. it was a last night special meal and I was embarrassed in the low quality. the tom yum suppe that we had was really salty and tasted nothing like tom yum tom yum is characterized by its pronounced hot and acidic aromes and fragrant crink grass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, limette juice, fish sauce and crushed chilipfeffer. we could just try fish sauce, nothing else. I have certainly missed the galangal and zitruskalk leaves, not cheap, but if they serve Thai food, they should be included.We next had, pad thai and drank. the pad thai was not great and came without a kalk I have never seen before. When I asked after kalk, the waitress still put a disc lemon on the table and went away. I had to use it on my duck to give it some aroma, but this has not improved the gray tasty dish. I love thai and have eaten many in my time, its most often the fragrance of the dishes and even the rice that gives me so much joy. they had used cheap white rice that was hard and certainly not fragrant or even delicious. the waitress seemed irritated and hurried so that we could not really communicate. on the bright side the restaurant is beautifully laid out and the other waitress was friendly and smiling enough, but they were underused. I was here years ago and his changes, not for the good. I really hope they get another cook and bring back the taste to the dishes with fresh ingredients."
