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.

Really nice food (we had the set 2 course menu) with lovely tender roast beef and turkey. Good atmosphere and background Xmas music (but not blaring out for a change...). Highly recommended.

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.

Starter was really nice but the steak was very fatty and the home cooked chips and onion rings where under cooked and oily. Prawns where just put on top of the steak in an unappetising way . For the price not the best quality

Restaurant was very busy when we arrived, it was race day at the nearby racecourse, not much room inbetween tables so felt a little hemmed in. Fish and chips were beautifully served and was very tasty. The rib eye steak was cooked perfect, medium, however the cut of the beef on this occasion was quite fatty with more than expected gristle. The Baileys cheesecake was perfect. Would definitely return to this restaurant.

The Fat Bull was fantastic as always. The food was exceptional and with their famous Steak nights, if you buy a starter or dessert you got the steak at half price. The service was exemplary too. A great restaurant!
