Welcome by the staff poor - wouldn't serve one of our party a cup of tea because she arrived 20 minutes before 5pm. Manager/head waiter was brusque and rude - made the whole dining experience somewhat uncomfortable.

Restaurant cold on entry 5pm opening time. Heating was on but took a while to warm up an empty location. Food acceptable, beef dripping gravy was lovely. Menu online was out of date and different from restaurant menu. I was looking forward to a T bone steak but it was no longer cooked. Please get your website updated. Would I return? Not sure.

Booked birthday meal in advance on arrival was taken upstairs. Didn't know there was an upstairs but caused me logistical problems due to health issues. Contacted fat bull but nothing done about it despite promise from manager. Disappointing

Tasty food in plentiful quantities but was not piping hot and was therefore cold by the time the end of eating arrived, service was OK but could be better.

Limited vegetarian choice and the vegetarian curry was just like a tomatoe salsa with no spice. Ran out of some things like fish, lamb, t-bone

Excellent food although very pricey! Opted for half price steak menu although the bill was double what we anticipated as everything else was so pricey. Also charged for double gin even though I ordered a single. Queried this and was told there was nothing they could do as they poured a double.

Had such an amazing meal! Serving staff were incredible and the chef was unreal. I have dietary requirements and the staff went above and beyond to make sure I had an amazing meal! The chef even altered some items for me! Couldn’t ask for anything more (except maybe for the recipe for the gravy because it was delicious)

Service was great, food was great. Only issue was the lack of space. The restaurant was really busy for 7pm on a Monday night, which is a good thing, but not when you 're constantly moving your chair in & out to let other diners squeeze past you because the tables are cramped so close together. A minor thing I know, but when your constantly watching for people squeezing past you it does detract from your enjoyment of both the food & the company you are with.

Food is outstanding for quality and price. Staff are knowledgeable, welcoming, positive and prompt and the whole environment very warm and inviting. I’ve been several times and my only small criticism now is the lack of room between tables since the new layout-other than that a fabulous place!

Everything tasted good, service was ok, friendly staff, it was a little cool, several people had coats and jackets on, though the heating did come on at around 8pm. I wasn't amazed but I would go again.

Food is great but always seem understaffed and food takes a long time to come. Long wait between courses and they got our bill completely wrong at the end, adding £40+ to it. It was quickly sorted though and staff are usually very friendly.

We got seated straight away. The atmosphere was very good and the service was very good. Amazing food. Very nice cocktails. However thia resteraunt was very low on the choices of food. They ran out of specific chips and they was out of a few different steaks and main meals which was quite disappointing.
