Christmas is all about good food, great company and a little healthy dose of family competition, and Bill’s Restaurants is serving up all three this season.
The high street favourite has joined forces with toy giant Mattel to bring board game heavyweights UNO™ and Scrabble™ straight to dining tables across the country. Running alongside its brand-new festive food line-up, the playful partnership includes bespoke in-restaurant game challenges, the chance to unlock mystery prizes, and plenty of lighthearted rivalry over dinner.
The seasonal dishes kick off on 12th November and run through until 3rd January, catering for everything from early-morning breakfasts and boozy brunches to hearty dinners.
Among the standout creations this year are deep-fried Crispy Sprouts served with spicy curry ketchup, lime, and red chilli, alongside Beetroot-cured Salmon Crumpets loaded with horseradish cream cheese, scrambled eggs, crispy capers, and dill. Diners can also tuck into warming Parsnip and Apple Soup, Miso Squash topped with creamy whipped feta, and a decadent Stilton & Stuffing Burger.
Sides have had a festive glow-up too, with Pigs in Blankets Loaded Potatoes making an appearance, while dessert lovers can dive into stacks of Chocolate Orange Pancakes. Over at the bar, winter cocktails take centre stage with Mulled Margaritas, festive spritzes, and classic warm mulled wine.
For larger gatherings, Bill’s has introduced a three-course Christmas set menu priced at either £35.95 or £37.95 (depending on location), with early-bird bookers dining between 12 and 30 November bagging a £6 to £8 discount per head. The chain has also rolled out a fully accredited gluten-free version of the festive set menu, ensuring everyone can join the party without missing out.
The perks continue into the New Year, too. Anyone dining between 12th November and 31st December will receive an exclusive UNO-themed bounce-back voucher, unlocking two-for-one burgers and salads to help beat the January blues between 4th January and 11th February 2027.
Tom James, Managing Director at Bill’s Restaurants, said: “Christmas, as we know, is all about bringing people together, and we wanted to create something that makes those moments even more memorable. Partnering with Mattel allows us to bring two iconic family favourites into our restaurants in a new and exciting way, combining great food with play, and giving our teams a fun, natural way to connect with our guests.
“From the playful details throughout our restaurants to the interactive moments around the table, we’re creating something that feels distinctly Bill’s and gives our guests another reason to make us part of their Christmas celebrations.”
The festive games and seasonal menu launch across 49 Bill’s locations nationwide (excluding Heathrow) on 12th November. While the three-course set menu requires advance booking, the festive specials and drinks will be open to all walk-in guests throughout the season.
