About Gillson's
Our Story
Gillson's was created with a simple idea in mind: to bring the timeless spirit of the brasserie to Ecclesall Road.
Inspired by classic brasseries, we've created a place where good food, genuine hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere come together. Somewhere equally suited to a leisurely lunch, dinner with family and friends, or a long Sunday afternoon around the table.
For us, dining has always been about more than what's on the plate. It's about taking time to enjoy good food, good company and the simple pleasure of being looked after.
Whether you're joining us for the first time or have visited many times before, we hope Gillson's feels familiar, welcoming and enjoyable from the moment you arrive.

Join The Team
Gillson’s is built by people who care about what they do - in the kitchen, on the floor, behind the bar and behind the scenes. We believe great hospitality comes from consistency, teamwork and taking pride in the details that guests might never notice, but always feel.
We’re looking for people who value doing things properly, who understand that service is as important as food, and who want to be part of a team that supports one another to deliver a better experience every day. Whether you’re experienced or still learning your craft, attitude, curiosity and care matter just as much as skill.
If you’re interested in working at Gillson’s and think you’d be a good fit for the way we operate, we’d love to hear from you. Submit your details and tell us a little about yourself.
Our group of independent venues
The Gills Collection
Gillson’s sits within "The Gill Collection" a small, focused group of hospitality businesses built on the same principles of quality, consistency and care.
Each venue within the collection has its own identity and purpose, but they're united by a shared approach to food, drink and hospitality. From a neighbourhood wine bar and sharing plates restaurant to a Champagne and cocktail bar, every space has been created to feel welcoming, considered and somewhere people genuinely enjoy spending time.
The Gill Collection exists to give each brand the freedom to stand on its own, while benefiting from the experience, standards and attention to detail that run through everything we do.
You can explore the wider collection below.
