Fat Cat Cafe Bar - Chester, The Description
The first Fat Cat Café Bar opened in Bangor, North Wales in 1992 and since then the group has been steadily expanding to meet the demands of the increasingly discerning customer. The chain runs ten café bars in London, the Midlands, Wales and the North West, and is known to maintain high standards in food and service.
In order to remain at the forefront of café bar culture, a number of their sites have been refurbished during the past year. All outlets offer just the right environment to relax - with comfortable leather sofas and private booths. Large projection screens show live sporting events and wi-fi is available free of charge.
Food is served all day, seven days a week and menus change monthly with each outlet playing host to events like the jazz club, ladies night and gourmet night during the week. Music policy depends on the time of day, ranging from classic instrumental to uplifting jazz and blues.
The breakfast menu offers, among other choices, the typical English Fat Cat breakfast. The all day menu is extensive and has choices that it is best known for - sandwiches include hot roast pork and apple, made of steak cooked with fresh herbs and served in a foccacia roll with applesauce.
Amongst the starters, expect to find smoked chicken, watercress and ricotta salad, garlic tiger prawns and buffalo mozzarella and beef tomato salad. If you like to keep it simple, the rustic chilli with beef chunks and rice braised in spices with kidney beans, is a good option - you could also add a bowl of nachos to it. Specials could offer beer battered fish and chips, and favourites like bangers and mash, grilled sea bass or stuffed peppers baked with cheese and olive oil.
There are popular desserts like sticky toffee pudding and rhubarb-apple crumble for those wanting to give their meal a sweet end.
A large selection of wines, spirits, bottled products, cocktails and cask conditioned ales makes up their wine menu. This list also mentions liqueur coffees and non-alcoholic beverages.
Your Reviews of Fat Cat Cafe Bar - Chester, The
Nathan Fisher (11 April 2009)
Having fondly remembered a tuna steak I'd eaten here a year or so before, I returned to the Fat Cat with fairly high expectations. My chorizo salad was good, with a tangy dressing and fairly tender sausage. My main of lamb shoulder was, however, uninspiring. The mashed potato was pleasant, but the Savoy cabbage, a little dry. This would have been acceptable had the lamb been good. In the event, however, it was rather boring, tough and not juicy, as if it had been micro-waved, and for some reason it had been seen fit to cover it in a salty gravy which detracted further from what was already a dull piece of meat. I felt ripped off at fifteen pounds. My partner's nachos were apparently very nice. I get the feeling that eating there is a bit hit-and-miss. No doubt some of the choices are lovely, but I'd think twice before dining there again.

Hello, next time I’m in the U.K. I would love to check out the Fat Cat I’ve heard it's awesome! Great food, drink and the service outstanding. It must be fabulous for me to hear about it all the way in Southern California. Looking forward to check it out hopefully in the near future. Save us a good table please.
