Excellent food, cocktails and really friendly and helpful staff. Would highly recommend

Newly opened and refurbished to a very high standard, very warm and welcoming. Lovely attentive staff. Very varied menu, hard to choose what to have. We shared pate and meatballs for starters. Presented very nicely on the plate. Could have done with a bit more bread for the pate, I'm sure they would have provided if asked. Also, might have been better if it was toasted, but that's my preference. Main courses were both risottos, one seafood, one chicken. The chicken risotto had too much cream for my palette, again that's my taste. It also had saffron in it, a little too much as it had an earthy taste. Again that's my palette, some may like it that way. All in all a very pleasant meal in a lovely restaurant. I certainly will go again.

As always the food was excellent and the staff were friendly and helpful. It's our goto place for family occasions.

1st time visit for me & my family, couldn't fault anything food service was excellent, will be returning

Special meal out for a birthday, the food was delicious and the portion size just right. I enjoyed the bao buns and soba steak, husband chicken skewer and sea bass, all very good. Short but good wine list and good service.

Another perfect eve at the fat loaf , can honestly say we’ve never had a bad meal . Love the new tapas especially the baked feta . Best espresso martini in town .

Excellent in every way large portions fantastic food and brilliant service highly recommended

Easy booking process. We had a Lovely meal, attentive staff, made to feel very welcome. Will be returning. Thank you

Lovely restaurant with very helpful staff . Best Risotto ever!! Many thanks

Atmosphere- Nice restaurant interiors and overall a good atmosphere Food - Nice food but nothing special, as you possibly could cook just as good at home. Service - drinks and food taken at the same time so felt rushed upon arrival, could have done with 5-10 minutes in between the drinks order to the food order. Value for money - Nice food but nothing special, as you possibly could cook just as good at home.

Had a fabulous meal for my Husbands birthday, despite them not finding my online booking until I showed then the confirmation and reminder emails!! Lovely place, food is delicious and waiting staff were very friendly and professional.

LOVELY MEAL AND GREAT SERVICE WILL BE BACK

The Sunday lunch was delicious, and so were the chicken wings and salad we had as starters. The staff were lovely and the service was quick. The only gripe I have is being charged £24 for a bottle of mass produced Australian Shiraz which retails in Tesco for £7.50.

It's our go to local restaurant. Food is always lovely. Staff friendly and you should always support local businesses not chains. Keep up the great work.

Everything about The Fat Loaf screams “Do come back” - never fear, we certainly shall! Top marks in every category! Such a delight - Thank you!

Absolutely beautiful restaurant, food is amazing, excellent service . Second visit here and will definitely be back soon .
