We’d not seen my parents for far too long and getting both the girls into the same room at the same time was becoming impossible unless food was involved so we bribed them all with the promise of edible goodies and trekked off to Cardiff Bay to give the new Bill’s a try.
Opened on the site of the old Pilotage Building, previously the home of Wood’s Brasserie, this is the second Bill’s in Cardiff, the first being in the Hays near the library.
The food is good, simple and hearty with appetizers such as Gordal olives , breaded haloumi, hummus and tzatziki and a selection of grilled meats, fried fish, steaks, burgers and salads.
The lime and coriander chicken was a very popular choice for our group and I can testify that it was juicy and delicious.
My choice of ribs was huge, meaty and slathered in barbeque sauce – all just as it should be. The coleslaw portion was a little meagre and under seasoned but all in all a fine meal. Similarly for the fish-finger sandwich, a good dish but a little under-seasoned. But again nothing that a little salt couldn’t fix.
The desserts, Eton Mess and hot chocolate brownie were very good – the highlight of the meal.
Great service with a smile, a sideline in quirky grocery goods and a sublime setting all added up to a very very enjoyable afternoon
