Food and cocktails are great at Bill's! The new food and cocktail menu looks great and from what I sampled, tastes superb too.
On entering, we were welcomed with a Hedgerow Fizz, which is Prosecco with a raspberry dropped in for added flavour. We were then shown to the back area leading to the backyard, which was our area for the evening. This was an event perfect for a big crowd of Yelpers to enjoy and sample three of the cocktails on offer and the food.
Bill's is situated on John Dalton Street, just by the likes of Panacea and Byron Burger, and from the exterior, looks like it would fit perfectly in a botanical gardens environment. Inside is light, colourful and beautifully decorated with a simplistic and natural wood design.
Once settled, we were served samples of the food in the form of canapés. First was watermelon and sesame-crusted feta. Delicious! This offers a great fruity combinationw with the warm coated feta. Other canapés offered were crab and falafel sweet chilli doughnuts, which only had subtle taste of crab, but nonetheless, very tasty! Also, the tomato bruschetta were very flavourful complemented by mint pesto. One canapé to highlight is the chicken liver parfait because, despite being so tasty, seems to be quite rare in Manchester. The chicken liver was complemented by sweet chutney, which added to the flavour. The final sample of food on offer was the crispy calamari, and it smelt and tasted delicious. If you are not a fan of seafood, then maybe this is not for you, but if you are, then you are in for a treat! I will definitely be back for more. The servers were very knowledgeable in the food they were presenting, and it was a pleasure to listen to the passion they had for the food and the menu. It is truly a commendable service.
Afterwards, we were delighted with a classic Victoria Sponge, and regular and mini scones. Amazing. The Victoria Sponge was very creamy and very tasty. Big thumbs up!
The cocktails menu seems to follow the country club summer style, which is genuinely welcomed. We sampled a gin and elderflower cocktail named Bill's Country Garden with lime, apple and cucumber. The other cocktail was a Bramble Mojito, which was a rum and blackberry cocktail. These cocktails had a very nice floral and fruity summery taste, and would be perfect on a beautiful sunny day (or as we are in Manchester, a nice restaurant on a rainy day.) PS, it was not raining on this particular day, which made evening more fitting.
Bill's event was a fun-filled evening with great food, drinks, company and regular Yelp shenanigans.
