Great food with exceptional service. Booked a table for 7.00 & was eating starter for 7.15, with main course served at 7.40. Been to fat bull several times, and every time does not disappoint. Highly recommend eating here. Only down side was that it was 1 week to Christmas with the festive menu being served, not one Christmas cracker in sight!

Food took a long time to arrive and not that warm when it did. Child’s meal far too excessive for a three year old, plus cost of waste, and cost of meal , place of table where we were seated very cold due to back enterance being used. Staff were great

Food was good! The only downside to the evening was being seated by the front door as I felt draughty all evening. It took a 40 minutes to receive our starters from ordering. We asked for a taxi to be ordered for us at the end of the evening and the waitress was obliging. The staff were friendly and efficient. Overall a good experience!

Restaurant was packed for a week night because of the good half price steak offers which are only valid if you buy a starter or dessert. We were put on a table right next to the bar where staff were walking past all the time which did annoy me as i felt detached from the more relaxed atmosphere of the main room. My starter was pate which was ok but the onion chuckney wasnt all that good and the toast crumbed on contact. My sirloin was cooked wrong as it came medium when i asked for medium well so had to send it back. The staff were apologetic and polite but were very busy rushing around. My partners meal was fine however we were there nearly 2 hours for a 2 course meal. Far too long await to order and then receive the courses. I would think twice about going again.

Booked a table for 8pm arrived about 5 minutes early. Placed drink order straight away and given menus , server had not returned to take food order at 8.20 so had to chase up. Order for food was only taken at 8.40 pm so turned 9.00 before starters arrived. We enjoyed the food but it was a family celebration and the poor service spoiled the whole experience. Have visited before and food had always been good and service has been okay. Possibly need more staff at weekend.

Everything was excellent. The food was amazing, ribeye, cauliflower cheese and peppercorn sauce for £10, that is only on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday though. Did not have a starter but from what I saw all the food looked great. Will return.

Another trip to the Fat Bull. Food was excellent. Service for drinks and the main meals was fine. Only slight hiccup was when we were asked if we wanted any coffees or desserts, waitress said she would come back in 2 minutes, but after 20 minutes of waiting, we decided we'd just have the bill instead.

Very pleased with our experience, they moved the timings on our table due to our travel delays on the day and from arrival to end of meal the service was very good and food (steaks)/beverage (cocktails) were excellent. I had recommended this location to all that attended on the evening in question and everyone was very satisfied. I and my colleagues would return in the future.

Early Friday evening special. 2 x steak meals plus bottle of wine £20. Excellent value. Food lovely, perfectly cooked steak, nice home made chips, and a tasty peppercorn sauce. All nicely presented. Washed down with a nice chilled white wine. Service a little slow but well worth the wait and would definitely eat here again.

The food is lovely and you receive large portions. We dined on half price steak night too which is a brilliant offer. The only critique I could give is that it didn't have a great ambience, but we did dine at 5pm when it had just opened so I presume the later it got and at busier times it may get better.

I love this restaurant and have been a few times. The food is amazing, however the services was extremely slow. I had to ask 4 times for my drink and it finally arrived just after my food arrived. Great food more staff needed and some could be a bit friendlier.

Good experience for a special family meal. Lots of choice for all the family. Pleasant staff but we did sometimes feel forgotten being upstairs but it was nice to have the upstairs to ourselves
