Billie's — Restaurant in Great Britain

A gem for delicious breakfast and brunch in Brighton! I've been meaning to pop by Billie's for a while, as the café always comes up on top-rated lists for must-eat spots.

Immediately greeted with super friendly staff and just that cosy/relaxed vibe. The menu is packed to the brim with delicious options - from their signature hash to to muffins and your classic fry up.

Vegan and veggie options are available, too!

I opted for the popular farmhouse hash - sausage, bacon, beans, pan fried with hash potatoes, topped with an egg and grilled cheese. Sounds good? IT IS.

Upon first bite I said "wow" out loud.

The sausage in particular is next level. The potatoes moorish and full of flavour. It just works so well. It is a little bit on the pricier side with most dishes over £10, but it is worth a bite (literally)

Will definitely try other options in the future!

Staff were friendly, welcoming and delivered top-notch service - Thank you...

… the only time I’ve ever seen my partner who’s extra polite turn away food when served

This was the worst plate I’ve ever seen…

For over £11 a ‘farmhouse’ hash which my partner was serious excited to try came and looked like someone’s chewed up leftovers .. no exaggeration

I can’t believe the cook was happy for this to be served .. before we even said anything the look on the face of the waitress was pure embarrassment

Left and spent slightly less and had a gorgeous plate filled with fresh delicious food from foodillic around the corner

Refund and out of there

I was so dumbfounded at this plate of ‘food’ that I didn’t even get a photo I was in pure shock 😂😩

Was pale and as if it had been spread out over the large plate so make it look less pathetic but was a wasted attempt

Never been before .....

Halfway into our breakfast, my partner wretched and spit out his food, complaining that he felt something sharp in his last bite of avocado and bacon hash. He excused himself and returned to the table a few minutes later, unable to find anything but convinced that there was something stuck in his mouth. We returned home, and with the aid of a torch and some tweezers, he extracted a small metal shard that had gotten embedded in his tongue!

I have no idea how this might have gotten into his food, but this experience was enough to put us off from returning to Billie's anytime soon.

I plan to contact the owners about this to let them know what happened, with the hope that they can find out what went wrong and keep this from...
