A new restaurant in Street is set to welcome both humans and canines patrons in December. Bill's, which is the latest addition to the town's popular Clarks Village shopping outlet, will not only be dog-friendly but have its own doggy menu.

Sheri Williamson, Marketing Director at Bill’s, added: “In 2023 Bill’s went on a mission; to go from being ‘Dog-Friendly’ to being ‘Dog-Focussed’. This is how the idea of our Dog Menu came about, to make it clear that dogs are valued visitors too.

"Our bespoke dog offering includes a range of treats for dogs from Denzel’s, Marshfield’s Farm, and Woof & Brew. Check out our Instagram highlight called ‘Dogs of Bill’s’, it’s an overload of cuteness.

"We look forward to making more tails wag at Clarks Village.”

The announcement comes as Clarks Village has been nominated at the DogFriendly Awards (sic). Clarks Village is just one of three UK finalists to be nominated for the most dog friendly shopping centre award.

The winner will be announced at a glitzy ceremony in London on Thursday, November 21. Whatever the result, the shopping outlet is very proud of its new 'Canine Executive Officer', a three-legged Hungarian Vizsla called Dudley.

Even better is the news that Bill’s will welcome dogs to dine with their owners, making the restaurant a paw-fect fit for our dog-friendly outlet.

“We’re also incredibly proud Clarks Village has been announced as a finalist in the DogFriendly Awards, recognising all our efforts to welcome guests with their canine companions and enjoy a day out together.”

Clarks Village has over 90 shops, including Jack Wills, Sports Direct, Next, Levi's, Marks & Spencer, FatFace, and Calvin Klein. In terms of food, hungry customers can visit Costa Coffee, Pret A Manger, The Cornish Bakery, wagamama, Caffè Nero, and more.
