Have had 2 very bad experiences at Bills in the past: one disastrous work Christmas party and one disastrous evening meal in which I ate the world's worst Mac and Cheese. I decided to brave the place for one more shot and it ended up being third time lucky!

This time we went for breakfast, stopping in at around 10:30am on a Monday morning. I expected the place to be empty, but was surprised to see a few tables of people enjoying coffee. The atmosphere was relaxed, pleasant and not too busy. So far so good.

I ordered a Bill's breakfast that included toast, sausage, beans, bacon, fried eggs and tomato. The portion size was slightly smaller than a usual English breakfast, but I actually found that it suited me more. If someone wanted something bigger, they could easily opt for extra sides to bulk it out. Sausages were Cumberland and very good! Toast was thick, and the fried eggs were cooked just right. The baked beans aren't the best, but I managed.

My friends ordered the blueberry pancakes, and I did have a little taste. It seemed like a nice size and included strawberry, banana and maple syrup. For anyone who prefers a sweeter American style breakfast, then the pancakes will please. You can also opt to add bacon. I have always found it tricky to find decent pancakes in Oxford, but I think Bill's just manages to hit the mark.

Third time lucky - would definitely consider going back for breakfast. There is a lot of choice on their breakfast menu and it's definitely a good place to go if you want a good range of English and American.

I was the first in on a cold Saturday morning. Staff were friendly and attentive. I ordered coffee and poached eggs with avocado on gluten free toast and it was absolutely delicious. What a treat!!! Thank you.
