Bill's
Bill's is a British restaurant and bar chain, founded by Bill Collison in 2001 when he opened a small greengrocery in Lewes, East Sussex.
As of January 2020, there are 78 branches in the UK, down from 81 in September 2018. With home deliveries on the rise, Bill’s launched a takeaway and ‘click and collect’ service to expand their offering.
History
The first restaurant was founded in Lewes, East Sussex. It began as a greengrocer's, but after a flood, a cafe was added to the shop. In 2008, Richard Caring acquired a major shareholding in Bill's, at which time it had two restaurants. Since then, there has been an expansion in the number of restaurants around the UK, featuring locally sourced produce and menus for breakfast, lunch, dinner and teatime.
