The Beach (was Billy's)

We had a very pleasant experience at the new ‘Beach’ cafe in Bracklesham last Saturday. My partner is vegan and also allergic to mushrooms so eating out is often a challenge. Josh, the manager that day, was very accommodating, which meant my partner felt respected, not an inconvenience, which has happened at other establishments. We both enjoyed a delicious breakfast. The staff were cheerful and attentive and the ambiance was warm and welcoming. The place has had a noticeable spruce up. We are looking forward to revisiting and attending future events.

What a great find, welcomed by a helpful gentleman and got a table with a sea view. The staff were all friendly and chatty. The freshly squeezed orange juice hit the spot, followed by a delicious, well cooked, served on a hot plate veggie breakfast. My mum had the potato dish with bacon n sausages, unfortunately it was described as potato slices but was actually broken hash browns but full of bacon and sausage with very well cooked poached eggs. A mum and kids group where there, one child constantly whinning and not addressed by mother which continued for most of our meal, until the traffic warden arrived and the mums left, the childs noise ruined the ambience for us and people around us who were also commenting. Would go back

Came here for lunch had not booked - which I would recommend as was really busy - but the gentleman at the front, (sorry did not get his name) was able to find us a table pretty quickly. The food was great, I had the crab cakes as a main with a side salad. They were homemade and amazing, the best I have had. My husband had the rump steak burger which he said was delicious. I also had a pudding - the chocolate and cherry bread pudding, again very tasty. The service was very good and even though they were very busy while they were in there they were very polite and friendly to all the customers. The gentleman at the front was brilliant and worked the room really well, ensuring tables cleared quickly for incoming customers. Billy's is right near the beach and has outside seating which would be amazing in the warmer weather, although people were sitting outside on this day even though it was not very warm. Would highly recommend this eatery for anyone visiting the area. We will definitely be back again.

Great place to eat. Good value for money. Excellent service and very friendly staff who accommodated us even though we arrived early, but the letters sit inside. They also helped to make my wife's birthday celebration special. Thank you guys, much appreciated.

What can I say about my experience at Bill’s? The fish and chips were, quite frankly, some of the best I’ve ever tasted. We couldn’t sit inside the restaurant because it was fully booked, and being lunchtime, there was quite a wait. So, we opted to order from the mobile van in front of the restaurant instead. The service was excellent—everything was ticketed, so we just waited for our number to be called, collected our food, and sat at the picnic tables provided. As expected with British seaside weather, it was sunny but very windy. Despite that, everyone had a smile on their face. I’ll definitely be visiting Bill’s again, as the restaurant looked very appealing and cosy. I’ll just make sure to avoid the lunchtime rush next time. Thanks, guys!

Great views, service, food and coffee, great breakfast start for the day.

The restaurant was fully booked but happily there is a van-style eatery outside just by the beach and the fish and chips was great. For a beach that is mainly stones and not sand it’s a beauty. Fantastic place to visit and with interesting birdlife. The mobile sauna nearby on the beach looks fun. Happy people and children and dogs all about. Well worth a visit. The drive back through Hampshire and the South Downs countryside was glorious in the early evening sun.

This was our first meal in the UK, and we were looking for fish and chips. The size and quality of the meal was better than expected. Located right on the beach with a nice view of the channel. One word of caution, not about the restaurant, but the parking. Don't make the same mistake we did. You need to pay for parking. We weren't there long and got a ticket.
