Visited the 'new' Old Bill for the first time last Saturday night and whilst outwardly it looks a great improvement and there is obviously more space than the establishment previously behind the police station - something seemed to be missing? Admittedly it was very quiet, the owner and his father both greeted us like long-lost friends and the food was... More

Four of us visited for a late Sunday lunch.We were the first diners to arrive but the place soon filled up and every guest was welcomed with the same warm hospitality by Paolo and his staff. The excellent menu (and specials board) along with a comprehensive wine list got us off to a great start .The attentive but discreet service... More
