Bill's - Braintree

The restaurant is located in the heart of Braintree’s busy shopping area, handy for taking a break any time of day. From booths to larger sharing tables, Bill's is open for breakfast, lunch, dinner and everything in between. Bill Collison, founder of Bill's, opened the first Bill's in Lewes, East Sussex, in 2001. Built on the same site where Bill had been running a successful greengrocery for several years, Bill's Café & Produce Store, as it was then known, was an instant success. The aim was to make a place that was colourful and exuberant, with dishes that were really tasty and also made you smile, that put every day and unusual seasonal ingredients together and gave everyone lots of ideas to take home with them. The team at Bill's baked, cooked and served deliciously different food, hung skeins of raffia from the ceiling, stacked towers of produce for people to buy and hired lively, enthusiastic staff to look after their customers. They wanted Bill's to be somewhere that really celebrated food and was welcoming to everyone, a place that felt like the next best thing to home. Breakfast at Bills is a great way to start your day; from a humble bacon or sausage sandwich to a bells-and-whistles super classic great British breakfast. Weekends are a different story, time to kick back and turn breakfast into brunch, complete with newspapers, freshly squeezed orange juice and plenty of tea or coffee.

We all thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon tea party for my daughter and son in laws wedding. The scones were AMAZING!! Lovely fresh sandwiches and mini cakes - so delicious. Staff were professional. Thank you for making it special!

There were four of us for afternoon tea, the venue was really busy with a funeral and a wedding at the same time. We still received excellent service although it was busy, the staff were very attentive. There was a selection of sandwiches. The scone was really good and very fresh. The little cakes were just enough but so much that you were left feeling like you were over indulged. All in all a very good experience

I took my mum for her birthday for afternoon tea, the service was a little slow(had to get up and look for people to check in and to pay), but other than that it was great, it was a good value for money and the little details were lovely. We got 12 sandwiches, a scone each and good variety of sweets. We both left very satisfied.

We were celebrating an occasion and I thought I would treat my sister to an afternoon tea at Alma Lodge, the poor quality of the food was such that it had spoilt the occasion. The place took cost cutting to a new level: skimping on fillings ,hardly any in the sandwiches and stale cakes was what we got. Most certainly not worth the money charged and will not recommend it . The decor was nice and the waitress was polite, but if you're going for a memorable afternoon tea, this place is not the one.

Great afternoon tea
