    We had a lovely Christmas Eve family dinner, this has become a tradition for us and the whole family always enjoys the evening. From grandma to children, there is always something to suit every pallette. The restaurant is warm and inviting and always decorated beautifully inside and out for Christmas. Great service and very helpful with any allergies! Which is a welcome addition and not many cafes and restaurants handle this so well!

    I had a great Sunday dinner at the Fat Badger. I had the prix fixed menu, with the salmon cake starter and the roast pork loin for mains. Everything was absolutely top notch. I highly recommend the restaurant and the pub, both.

    The restaurant at the Fat Badger is a very pleasant experience and the food was excellent, tasty and good portion sizes. The atmosphere was fairly quiet in contrast to a very noisy and packed bar area so a welcome relief! Sadly I cant be so enthusiastic about service. The gentleman who greeted us was curt and surly with no welcome or pleasantries. The female server was equally curt and spoke to us as if we needed explanation for everything. My husband asked the male for the wifi code and he said we would have to wait! He must have seen our shocked faces as he back tracked and said I meant I will bring the paper with the code on We enjoyed our meal but did not leave a gratuity and really there was no service or niceties evident from the moment we walked in The food may be good but with such a poor display of service, no thank you, we will not be returning

    Food was ok. Having had Sunday lunch here previously I was impressed, unfortunately not so this time. Service poor and slow. A disappointing experience I am sorry to say.
