I really like the fat bull and I appreciate , it’s mainly a beef restaurant, hence the name , however they used to have a few more alternative choices then they do now and also ... why have sweet potato fries been removed as an alternative to chips? It’s lovely food but feel this reduced the choice in the recent menu change isn’t necessarily for the best

Great service from friendly staff. I liked the restaurant although it's very stuffy on a warm day. No windows to open and no fan or aircon! Excellent starter of halloumi fries. The Sunday roast was average. Vegetables were perfect and the Yorkshire was awesome. The beef was ok but the smart potatoes were inedible. the knife wouldn't pierce them and skidded onto my plate. Once I managed to cut through one, it was hard inside so I left them. The Oreo dessert was lovely but I felt that £6.25 for a glass of pinot was very expensive for Ashton.

The fat bull is one of my favourite restaurants. However last night we had to leave. There was a table of 6 including two children. They were shouting and swearing with ‘f bombs’. The staff asked them to quieten down but this just made them sarcastically shouting sorry, then still swearing. We left sadly it was going to become frightening. The staff said they were regulars. Other customers were struggling too. It was awful, I am not a softy. But I am not paying to be part of a Jeremy Kyle show. So sorry for you fat bull.

I have vistited The Fat Bull a few occasions now. The food is lovely and the steak just cuts like butter. It gets busy at night but a great atmosphere. The staff are very friendly too. This will be one of my local places to visit from now on.

Excellent food. Steaks are served a little rarer than we expected - might be advised to order yours a grade more cooked-through than you normally would but the cuts, sides and sauces were excellent. Steak and halloumi burger was also excellent - two good patties with a nice blend of flavours in the cheese, caramelised onion, baconnaise and brioche.

Food great as always although sirloin was a bit overdone for a medium request. Also Website said that steaks nights were Monday to Friday but when the bill arrived it it didn’t show on the bill. We asked the gentleman who was serving as we left and he advised us that it was only on a Friday now and not as the website said. They should of told us when they gave us the menu or a note on the website at least. As of today 8th July it still shows this offer.

The atmosphere was buzzing it was full to bursting obviously because of the half price steaks available up to 7pm. All in all it was very good but wouldn’t like to have paid full price for our steaks.
