We use the Fat Fowl on a regular basis and love not only the food but the atmosphere and the lovely staff. A choice of two menus, ala carte or the tapas - both are equally good. The desserts are an absolute delight; they look beautiful on the plate and just as good on the pallet! The staff are so friendly and efficient - a real treat and just on our door step!

The one thing preventing the Fat Fowl from being an outstanding local restaurant rather than just a very decent one is the service. Visiting there on New Year's Eve when it was full, but not busy enough to be over-stretched, we couldn't fault the four courses of carefully put together, delicious tapas dishes. The owner talked knowledgeably and enthusiastically about the food, but the waiting members of staff were under-prepared and inattentive.

We had to hang our own coats up, request the wine menu, ask again for water, and stop someone to ask for coffee. Another table got so tired of waiting that they went behind the bar themselves to find sugar for their coffee. It was not bad enough to spoil the experience totally, but a real shame as this should be so easy to get right with just a little bit of briefing and direction.
