While we can't guarantee a royal encounter, statistically speaking, this Bill's branch is the closest to Buckingham Palace. So why not pay a visit to the restaurant if you’re in the area, perhaps doing some touristy things and visiting the King and Queen. With ample space available, feel free to bring along your entire royal entourage, including your four legged best friend.
At breakfast time, enjoy some delicious tea and toast - a classic British fav. For those with a heartier appetite, why not try the garden plate, made up from two poached free-range eggs, halloumi, roasted plum tomatoes, charred red peppers, smashed avocado, hollandaise, mushrooms, fried potatoes, baked beans, pea shoots and toast. There are plenty of pancake options on the menu for those who like a sweet treat, including toppings of bacon and maple syrup.
If you're visiting with a group, you should order a selection of small plates and share starters. There's something for everyone, including miso padron peppers, a sticky duck salad in a spicy BBQ sauce with watermelon, coriander and little gem wraps, crispy fried chicken dumplings with spicy chutney, chimichurri roast beetroot with olive oil hummus, date molasses, mint and flatbread, and a divine halloumi mezze plate.
There are plenty of salads and plant-based options on the menu, including a spicy and fragrant south Indian curry with paneer, green lentils and baby spinach, served with toasted flatbread, coconut rice and mint yoghurt, a classic chicken Caesar salad, and the hippy bowl - made with roast butternut squash, green lentils, ancient grains, avocado, beetroot and spinach.
Desserts are something worth trying, especially Bill's flowerpot, made with passion fruit cheesecake, chocolate soil, fresh strawberries and an edible flower. There's also a profiterole stack for two and banoffee pie sundae on the menu.
