Very busy. Had to wait 10 mins for table but didn’t mind cause had a drink at bar. Only issue was that my partner and I was squeezed into a space were there was a lot of foot traffic. Meal was good but had better.
The food was ok in all honesty, the serving size was a little questionable. The service however was terrible, we ordered our food after a 20 min wait and there was couple that came in, sat down, ordered, recieved their food and finished before we even had a snifter of ours. One waitress did not know what Bourbon was let alone Jim Beam Reg Stag, and even when a waitress did know what it was still managed to bring me only normal Jim Beam (which i drank anway because you know... waste not want not). Then came the desert... well if they had come back to take our order before we had enough and just paid and left. Overall good quality food but the service has a lot of improvment to make.
Really enjoyable visits, food fantastic. only thing which stopped full marks (not restaurant fault) was party on next table randomly setting off party poppers which became annoying
Great food and service again on a busy Sunday afternoon at the Fat Bull. The black pudding & salted beef croquette starter could have had a little more black pudding than beef and the Latte that I was served could have been a little hotter (as it was just warm), but aside from that all was good.
Not the first time we have visited, and certainly not the last, the food and service were both excellent. Our party had a mix of steaks, risotto and also the children's menu. Having had starters and main course, we couldn't manage a dessert. Thanks to all at the Fat Bull
Beautiful food. Excellent chips very rare anyone does proper chips anymore. Service very good. Good choice on menu. Would definitely return and pass on experience to others.
Steak cooked beautifully melted in your mouth but very fatty for a rump, Service ok nothing special. And rowdy people in couldnt hear ourselves speak!!
All staff very helpful, we were there with my elderly mother who struggles to eat big meals, explained this so they made sure she had the same as us but a smaller portion
We have been to the Fat Bull a few times and have never been disappointed. Their cauliflower cheese is really tasty. Had a lovely evening.
Nice place and a Lovely meal, both mine and my wife's steaks were perfectly done. Thankyou for a super night. Can't wait to come again.
This is the 3rd time we have visited the restaurant this time was my fathers birthday he reported that the food was excellent and one of the best meals he's had for a long time ... all 3 courses super..service excellent...cannot fault the place we will be back !
Our 2nd visit here and excellent all round, our ribeye and rump steaks were cooked perfectly, very busy night but the staff looked after everyone well.
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
Fab time as always. Love it. 3rd time we have chosen to have our Christmas meal at The Fat Bull and we were not disappointed!
the Staff should act on criticism instead of the unhelpful reply of “ oh dear I wil inform the chef “ heard it 3 times when I was in there
This was our 1st visit to the fat bull and would go again. Food was amazing, staff pleasant and very attentive. Good value for our money
Another fabulous meal , Great food , great staff , would fully recommend a visit if you have not been you will not be dissappointed .
Menu was not as advertised on the website.However the waitress was attentive and found a suitable vegetarian main course for my daughter.food good but issue with menu very offputting
The Food is amazing staff are friendly prices are great and great location too good choice and lots of special offers can't wait to come back
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!
Was fine. It was busy and the staff were really working hard to get everybody served it may have been an idea to have more staff on.
We thoroughly enjoyed our half price steaks on Thursday. Had read some reviews stating that service was very slow but we didn't have to wait at all. Highly recommended.
Lovely atmosphere, fantastic meal - could not fault it. We ordered from the two for £20 menu and the steak was cooked to perfection. Would definitely recommend.
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.
Lovely food but had to wait 30 minutes for a booked table and then we got sat upstairs where it was cold and quite dull...
Eight of us had burgers which were all excellent! We were s bit disappointed that the pepper jack burger and the rib burger with gravy had gone from the menu but it was still excellent!
We have been here a few times now and the food is nicely cooked nice choice of wines and friendly waitresses and the prices are reasonable. Would definitely recommend people to try it.
Really nice atmosphere in the restaurant.Lovely food (steak was cooked perfectly) and really helpful staff. Will definitely be returning very soon and recommending to family and friends.
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.
Amazing food I highly recommend this restrauraunt with great offers. Will definitely be going again to take the rest of my family. There is a lovely atmosphere
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.
Food was great, The fish and steak were cooked perfectly. The only slight negative comment would be the bouncy noise around room. Over all good experienced.
Excellent experience staff very friendly whilst remaining professional attentive but not too intrusive the steaks and the rest of the meal was to die for and as the steaks are half price on Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday very good value for money will defo be back
lovely restaurant food was good just missing a couple of things i ordered as didn't have basics in the kitchen or drink i wanted off the menu
Lovely food and the staff where very nice better than last time. Will be going again for the £20 deal well worth the money. Cheers
It was Great service great food and reasonably priced for what we had they have some brilliant deals on we will definitely be going again
one of the best meals iv had in years will defo be going back staff very good place was clean and best of all half ptice bill
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.
