Fortunately the ketchup and mayo were free and a far better accompaniment for the burger in my opinion. When I revisited Bill's, the chips were on a par with McDs. However, the first time round they were tepid and limp - something that never seems to happen at the Golden Arches. gourmetgorrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10151639585645335132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174388664701790643.post-88559331867270759112013-02-12T20:47:54.623+00:002013-02-12T20:47:54.623+00:00Had the burger tonight.

I didn't order tomato salsa thinking that might make it too wet, and also, bit of a cheek to charge a quid plus for a spoon of posh ketchup innit? Bun was good though. Unfair to say chips are sub-Maccy D. I thought they were identical. Choccy milkshake very good. Desserts generic, overly cold takes on ice-cream. Kids meal burger is the same size burger and chips but without salad and mayo - so kids get same volume but it's even drier. Overall I thought pretty mediocre, but I don't know anywhere markedly better I could take kids to in the city centre. I sooner go to Casanova but it feels a bit 'adult' for young families.@fforchwen_toonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174388664701790643.post-78905074958184665582012-12-25T11:42:39.475+00:002012-12-25T11:42:39.475+00:00Really disappointed with the mains in Bill's. ...Really disappointed with the mains in Bill's. Nice, but 'owt special, thought the menu was a bit dull, and the burger was OK but not earth shattering. Moules frites good, but I didn't even know they made mussel pots that small....<br />The puds on the other hand were fantastic, so more of a coffee and cake place for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174388664701790643.post-65561864023062377782012-11-18T19:51:55.661+00:002012-11-18T19:51:55.661+00:00I'll keep an eye out for the other type of chi...I'll keep an eye out for the other type of chips next next time. Wonder whether they can do them with the burger? The offer of complimentary drinks would go a long way towards making up for the slow service. gourmetgorrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10151639585645335132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174388664701790643.post-46554902674527230202012-11-18T19:45:52.357+00:002012-11-18T19:45:52.357+00:00We ate there on the 1st weekend it opened and the ...We ate there on the 1st weekend it opened and the waitress advised us to go for the fat chips (I forget the name they had been given on the menu) rather than the standard offering - they were rather fab. We shared a chicken kebab flatbread main and a beef kebab flatbread starter along with some bread and hummous - it was plenty for two and very tasty, well cooked and presented. The food was horribly slow arriving but they realised this, apologised and gave us complimentary drinks which left everyone happy so all in all a very good experience for us garjonesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174388664701790643.post-18373962714367667962012-11-04T10:33:29.411+00:002012-11-04T10:33:29.411+00:00Yeah a real shame about the fries.

I have no evidence to back that, but it makes me feel better about the whole situation. Agree with you about the fries. The temperature of mine was okay the first time, but when I went back, my mum got the burger and they were lukewarm and somewhat chewy.Sam Malletthttp://www.twitter.com/samuel_mallettnoreply@blogger.com
