Bill's Restaurant was first opened in Lewes, East Sussex in 2001 serving both fresh and delicious meals as well as locally produced fruit and veg. Soon after their first restaurants boom of a success they set up in Brighton and moved on and up from there satisfying foodies from all over by serving seasonal and deliciously fresh foods from breakfast through to lunch and dinner. Lets not leave out dessert, there's always room!
A charming waiter, who sadly I didn't catch the name of but knew he was Australian, took our drinks order. I went for Bill's raspberry, peach and mango juice which was super fresh, with slight pulpy bits in like it was just squeezed! Delicious! My friend had a cloudy apple juice, which was lovely and refreshing and a good both a good change from typical soft drinks we usually consume.
We were then left to look at the wonderful menu of starters, mains, light meals and sides! Everything sounded so inviting I wasn't sure which to try that day!
I decided after much browsing of the menu to opt for Bill's hamburger with Monterey jack cheese in a sesame seed bun and a side of sweet potato fries. Served on a rustic wood board, the burger was cooked and seasoned to perfection. Covered in a blanket of Monterey jack cheese and topped with plenty of salad and a slather of horseradish mayonnaise spread across the bun.
And the sweet potato fries, presented in a lovely ceramic cup looked much more than just fries, they were heaven sent. A crisp outer and the inside light, fluffy and creamy. I could have eaten two pots full but I was stuffed by the end of the meal.
My friend opted for one of the flavoursome specials available that was pan-fried whole Cornish plaice with lemon, caper and parsley butter and a side of sweet potato fries.
Presented on a large plate with lemon wedge, capers and watercress salad. The plaice was left on the bone and cooked in a light batter. I did feel that it was a little too salty for my liking, this may have come from the capers but overall the fish was delicious and I would definitely have fish from Bills again!
