Avolta expands F&B footprint at Heathrow with the introduction of distinctly British brand Bill’s

Avolta, the leading global travel retail and F&B operator, has been awarded a new F&B contract at London’s Heathrow, broadening its presence and strengthening its longstanding partnership with the UK’s largest airport.

Set to open in Spring 2026 on the upper level of Heathrow Terminal 2, the new restaurant will bring Bill’s to an airport location for the first time. The concept will feature an enhanced digital environment and an airport-exclusive “Bill’s on Board” service, enabling travelers to order freshly prepared dishes for takeaway to enjoy on their flight.

The new development demonstrates the value Avolta brings as a strategic partner, working closely with airports to advance shared objectives and to deliver a strong local sense of place through high-performing dining concepts that elevate the passenger journey.

“Bill’s represents an important milestone in the expansion of our F&B presence at Heathrow,” said Beth Brewster, Senior Coordinating Director for Avolta F&B & Essentials. “Our long-term partnership with the airport is rooted in a shared ambition in terms of delivering outstanding passenger experiences through innovative concepts and strong local brands. Bill’s is a perfect example of how we combine our global operating expertise with the very best local partners, to bring Heathrow’s vision for its dining offer to life.”

Tom James, Managing Director at Bill’s, added, “The whole team at Bill’s is excited to be opening our first ever airport location at Heathrow ahead of next summer. Over the past three years, we have seen the brand go from strength to strength on the high street, with a guest-first approach to dining and significant investment in menu innovation, design, and technology. Avolta’s world-class experience in the airport sector makes them the ideal partner to bring Bill’s to an international audience.”

Heathrow Retail Director, Fraser Brown, commented, “Bill’s arrival in Terminal 2 is an exciting moment for Heathrow and highlights the strength of our collaboration with Avolta, who continue to bring high-quality, locally loved brands to our passengers. This opening reinforces our commitment to offering more choice and making every journey better.”
