Bill (the man, the myth, the Lewes legend) was born and bred here. It’s the original and dare we say it, still the best Bill’s of all – and not only because it’s our first born. Located right by the river, Bill's Lewes is the perfect spot for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

My sister and I are frequent visitors to Lewes where Bill's is our favourite restaurant. They have never failed to please, tasty food, prompt service and convivial atmosphere. Today was no exception when they were extremely busy. Special thanks to Izzy.

Fantastic service and a really good meal. Very noisy so hard to hear our table plus extra portion of halloumi was only 2 slides for £4 ( expensive). Toilets are not nice, they need to be cleaned more frequently
