I was invited along to Bill\u2019s\nRestaurant at Gloucester Quays with a plus one to try 2 courses of their\nFestive Set menu and a drink. All opinions are honest and my own.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Bill's<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Christmas to me means making time for one another, and so what better way to do it than over a festive bite to eat. Having previously visited Bill\u2019s to sample their children\u2019s breakfast menu<\/a> we knew it was a great place to visit with great customer service and delicious food. With the ice-rink just outside and the candle lit tables it was a fantastic atmosphere for Christmas couples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Festive Menu at Bill’s Restaurants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Festive set menu has been launched across all Bill\u2019s restaurants and is available without booking.  The Festive Set Menu is priced at \u00a324.95 (with a \u00a35 supplement for the Chargrilled Sirloin Steak option); this and the specials include a wide range of dishes that use classic Christmas staples with a Bill\u2019s twist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bill’s Restaurants Festive Starters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Festive Set Menu Starters include Smoked Chicken Terrine with winter spiced chutney and toasted sourdough; Feta, walnut, cranberry and apple salad; Wild Mushroom soup and Smoked Salmon with beetroot salad with horseradish cream cheese and beetroot dressing. We opted for the latter two. Both were served quickly and were delicious. In fact I have no idea why I haven\u2019t tried a salmon and beetroot combination before – the flavours went together so well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Bill’s Restaurants Festive Mains<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Main courses feature Pigs in Blankets Mac and Cheese; Pan Fried Sea Bass; Pumpkin, Fig and Chestnut Roast; Beef, Bacon and Brie Burger with fig and cranberry sauce, baby gem lettuce, mayonnaise and fries; plus the before mentioned Chargrilled Sirloin Steak (with red wine & rosemary sauce & truffled potato gratin).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Again both came quickly and were delicious. I would say that it was a shame that the Chargrilled Sirloin Steak did not automatically come with vegetables but these could be ordered as sides (Long Stem Broccoli with Sugar Snap Peas & mixed seeds; Brussels Sprouts and baby spinach) as well as pigs in blankets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bill’s Restaurants Festive Deserts and Drinks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Other Festive things at\nBill\u2019s Restaurants which we did not sample were the deserts – Christmas Sticky\nToffee Pudding with custard, Chocolate Orange Mousse with a crunchy chocolate\ncrumb, Coconut ice-cream, Panettone Bread and Butter Pudding or a Cheese Board.\nOr the Winter tipples – the Winter Wonderland cocktail with Aperol, fresh\norange juice, Prosecco and lemon sorbet, or the Gingerbread White Russian with\nWyborowa vodka, Frangelico, gingerbread syrup, milk and cream served with a\nmini gingerbread man. There are also alcoholic hot drinks available too.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As we are having an alcohol-free year<\/a> we opted for smoothies – Black Magic (a mix of blackberries, blackcurrants, cherry, blueberry, banana, apple juice & activated charcoal); and a Banana Boost (Espresso, banana, fig, maple syrup & apple blended with milk & oats). These were also delicious and really something different. We were also given water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Festive menu at Bill\u2019s\nRestaurant not only tasted delicious but was something a bit different to the\ntraditional meal you may have anywhere else. The service was perfect and we\nwould definitely recommend it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bill\u2019s Restaurants are across the UK including Wales and Scotland: The Festive menu is available until 31st<\/sup> December 2019.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
