Stephen Goldstone –
Food is good and plentiful, but they do have a habit of running out o certain items such as breads and chorizo, so some need for improvement. Also, the waitress is not experienced enough.

Food was lovely. However, Service was a bit slow. Never got the desserts we ordered and my mum did not receive a free glass of prosecco. To rectify we were given 20% off our bill. Would return.

Booked with 2 friends for the 3 course Xmas meal at Fat Cat, the food was excellent and the service was very good. The young man that attended to us was brilliant! Offer included half a bottle of wine each which was very enjoyable. Overall a very good evening with very good value for money.

Couldn't fault it at all at Fat Cat (Derby), lovely.
-
Julie Meredith –
We were celebrating a birthday on Half Price Tuesday so this made the meal very good value - little bit pricey otherwise. Good food, nicely presented, polite, attentive, helpful staff. Great atmosphere and Fat Cats is a very cool place to spend some time. Amazing cocktails - we tried Parma Violets and the Drumstick ones plus some Jam Doughnut shots to finish off the evening. Will be recommending Fat Cats!
-
Natalie Trees –
Food was beautiful again, however we had to ask for the oils to go with the breads and fishcakes. The only downside was the hour wait for the starters, but will definitely be back again soon thank you.

Val Stanley –
Hi my 2 friends and I really enjoyed our meal last night. We have been several times to Fat Cat and have never had a bad meal. My 2 friends were a bit disappointed when they asked for cream with their desserts and they only got 2 very small blobs of cream. However when they asked the waitress for pouring cream, she came back with some straight away. So only a minor complaint which was quickly rectified. Overall a great experience.

After having to wait 20 minutes for our booked table, we all enjoyed our meal very much. The food was excellent, good size portions, service friendly + mostly efficient. Value for money is excellent. Will definitely be coming again!
-
Val Stanley –
I was a little disappointed that the steak I had was a bit tough. When I've had it previously it melted in your mouth. The service + atmosphere were good as usual as was the value for money at Fat Cat (Derby). Will probably not have the steak again though.
-

Afternoon Tea at Fat Cat Derby was amazing. Definitely value for money. Loads of sandwiches and cake. Tea served in a vintage pot, proper china cups and saucers and prosecco too. Service was great. An afternoon well spent! Really good price too. More info on Fat Cat's facebook page. Worth a look!

Rachel Huyton –
We really enjoyed our meal but the service was slow between courses however the waitress dealt with the situation rapidly and politely and I imagine that this is because on tuesdays it is so very busy. Excellent night thank you.

Claudia Gordge –
Loved the half price offer on Tuesday, staff were friendly and helped my friend who required Gluten Free food, with her choice. It would be good though, if there was a Gluten Free menu available in the future!
-
Jeanette Dawson –
Expected a wider choice of menu. Only one steak option which was rib eye. Burger meat delicious but too much cheese spoiled it. Overall we enjoyed the meal.
-
Dianne Johnson –

Great value on two for one Tuesday deal at Fat Cat (Derby). Service efficient and friendly. Good food, good portions. Couple of bits maybe a bit over/under cooked or rushed, but it was a busy time with many groups having Xmas do's. Thanks for a lovely evening!

Verity Skerritt –
It was an enjoyable evening. The service was good and the staff very attentive. The food took a little while (this is because we were a group of 11 and we didn't pre-order). Some of the food was good e.g. the burgers but the crab cakes had more potato in them than crab. But £9.95 for 2 courses and a cocktail is value for money. I am sure we will go again.

GH –
We had a great meal here - the food was good and my partner really enjoyed her cocktails too! I thought the staff were polite and friendly without being too fussy, which is always nice.
