We had another excellent meal at the Fat Bull. The fillet steak was really good. They must have really good butcher's suppliers. Always enjoy our visits here.

Food poor. Three out of four steaks were tough. Service slow and the place wasn’t busy. Expensive; 6 people spent £200+. Ran out of beer.

My Husband Ordered a sirloin steak done medium. Firstly it didn’t look like a piece of Sirloin neither did it taste like one. It was colourless dry as a bone and unappealing. He isn’t one to complain so made the most of it. We were recommended by friends who rave about the Fat Bull but sadly we were bitterly disappointed. I orderd a Mediterranean wrap which would have been very nice but it wasn’t hot enough luke warm to be honest. Not the best night out although the bottle of Malbec saved the night. Needless to say we won’t be going back nor would we recommend it.

I booked a table for 2 online which was very easy and our table was ready on our arrival. The place is compact but cosy, if a little noisy when full, but the staff are pleasant and helpful. I had the chicken in mushroom sauce with seasonal veg, my friend had the chicken in bbq sauce, both were ok but nothing special and nothing i could'nt make myself at home, and for £13 each they was over priced. We didn't have starter or desert and only 2 G&Ts each,however the bill came to £52 !!! I won't be rushing back.

As usual excellent food and service. The bonus this time was seeing Oly Bell from ITV horse racing. Proves not just the everyday bloke eats there. The butchers block is a must.

Website advertised Half price steak which on arrival has changed discounted steak, approx a third off but only if you buy a starter too! Mentioned it to two staff members neither of which apologised. Tried to ring ahead three times during opening hours to check deal and nobody answered.

The steaks here are brilliant, and the service very fast. If you go before 7pm you get great discounts to. Also location is near to plenty of other pubs and the racecourse.
