Bill's Philosophy

Bill's three cafes aim to provide delicious, simple home-made food made from seasonal local ingredients, all served up in sensational locations.

Says Bill: 'I believe that we need to become more democratic about food in this country. You should be able to get a great beef sandwich and a perfect lemon tart without going into a Michelin starred restaurant. That is what we want to do at each of my cafes - serve simple stuff that is fantastic.

In each of the locations we serve a huge variety of people and we welcome them all.

At All Saints In Hereford we're busy throughout the day with everyone in town: skinny cappuccinos and toast for solicitors on their way to work; chocolate brownies and lattes for mums with toddlers in the morning; at lunchtime county ladies tucking into smoked trout salad with horseradish crème fraiche or courgette and feta filo pie with patatas bravas and in the afternoon cream teas with our own scones, Herefordshire clotted cream and locally made jam.

At Café Below in London the morning starts with young professionals tucking into our home-made hazelnut and apple muesli on their way to work, and then coming back for chilli bean casserole with brown basmati rice and guacamole. After work it's a tot of Manzanilla sherry with a nibble of Gordal olives and then a three-course supper under the cosy Norman arches of St Mary-le-Bow church.

At Michaelhouse in Cambridge, we’re overrun with mums and dads celebrating their offspring's academic success, weary shoppers resting their legs and crowds of summertime visitors searching for that memorable taste of England to take home. In a beautiful location just acroess from Trinity College and Kings College Chapel, Michaelhouse is also home to the Michaelhouse Centre, a home for art, concerts, meetings and other events, sponsored by the church.
