Popular restaurant Bills will close its doors in Tunbridge Wells next week as the latest part of a major refurbishment to a number of its sites in Kent.

The British restaurant group says it will offer a new décor and signature cocktails including a 'Gingerbread White Russian' when it reopens.

The newly relaunched site will open again next weekend and will be one of many across the UK to get a new look.

Bill Collison, owner and founder of Bill’s said: “We have achieved amazing things for Bill’s since the brand’s inception back in 2002.

"Having built local affection across all restaurants with our ‘all day menu’, we are now developing a fantastic new environment to enjoy late night dinner and cocktails”.

The chain was founded as a fresh produce store and café in East Sussex in 2000.

The restaurant will be closed from Sunday, October 14 at 4pm and will reopen again on the Saturday, October 20.
