Reviews Overview
Most Liked
The roast dinners at Hillside Bistro are a highlight, especially their perfectly cooked roast potatoes and rich gravy, which diners rave about. Many customers appreciate the friendly staff who always greet you with a smile and are eager to help. Desserts don’t disappoint either; they offer a tempting selection that keeps patrons coming back. That mini shop carrying essentials like toilet roll and milk is a clever touch—this bistro truly caters to the community. The cozy, relaxed atmosphere makes it easy to unwind, whether you’re dining solo or with a group of family and friends.
Most Disliked
While Hillside Bistro generally receives positive reviews, some patrons feel that the gravy portions could be larger, especially when it comes to their renowned roast dinners. A few diners mention that certain dishes could benefit from additional seasoning—though the majority find the flavors satisfactory. During busy times, service may slow down slightly, which can be inconvenient if you're in a hurry for a quick meal. Also, those who prefer a more upscale dining environment may find Hillside’s casual vibe not to their taste.

WOW Ill start with the good and then the bad. Firstly the roasties were spot on, they had flavour and are part of the most important trio of a roast along with the gravy and meat which were AMAZING. Veg was fresh and all together honestly was amazing even being delivered! The bad More gravy it needs way more gravy!

Really good food. All the staff are so friendly and helpful. Has a mini shop with essentials like toliet roll and milk. Had the roast dinner twice now and was excellent both times. We had the nut roast, the beef and the lamb. They always have some lovely deserts too. Would definitely recommend 👌
