Our Ribeye's were cooked to perfection and the chips and even the pepper sauce were so very tasty. But it's the brilliant service with happy, smiley faces and being so attentive that is deserving of 5* and especially Azo (hope I've got that right) - very enjoyable and thank you all...

10 out of 10, great steaks, all side dishes spot on, lovely wine and superb service. What a great find, a little tucked away, but very much worth it. Come check it out if you like your meat.

Friendly staff and good place for a pint or two. Had trouble getting to try the burgers as first couple of visits were when it first opened and struggling with orders. When i finally tried one of there burgers it was fantastic. The cocktails are good as well. The Monday night pub quiz has some fantastic prizrs as well. Recommended the Secret Gardens for food and drinks.

Finally managed to try Fat Butcher's Tomahawk Tuesday with the lads and it did not disappoint! Was busy with other punters seemingly having the same idea so had to wait over an hour for our table of 5 Tomahawks in total. Added prawns were extra but they were massive too. Could had done with more sauce but overall was very enjoyable and would definitely be back for more. Including drinks bought at the bar came to a very reasonable 30 per head

Staff were great, really friendly and helpful. Food is reasonably priced for the type of venue and there's plenty to choose from and what we had tasted great. Decent portion sizes for the cost. They seem to have a good variety of drinks on the menu too. Quite different in its set-up to a typical bar and worth the journey.

What a canny little find! Only found this yesterday despite cycling in the area for a few years and just happened to spot it. Lots of food options from the various stalls inside the garden, sadly not many opening a Monday. Good selection of drinks though, definitely be back!
