We had a really great lunch here.
There is a solid selection of beers on tap.
The food options are quite varied and interesting, with decent prices.
We tried a bunch of different options, and everyone was more than happy with what they got.
The staff was quick and efficient.
The venue itself is upmarket and exciting. There seems to be a small stage for live music.
Overall, it was a great lunch, and I am sure it will be an awesome spot in the afternoons and evenings.
I highly recommend this venue for a relaxed evening/afternoon.

I just popped in for a blue lagoon cocktail 🍸 and nachos 😋 the waiter was prompt and was friendly. The food was so delicious 😋 and just the right amount of spice. The only thing is as a none smoker when that door opens the wind that comes thru takes that smell everywhere. But love the vibe 😌 thank you guys its a nice spot 👌

Place is beautiful, vibrant, and ManU Fans, but I was very disappointed by the fact that I was seated outside while the table I booked was inside. I only realized that when I insisted to be seated at a better place. while they were trying to resettle me, my name was on the nice table inside, which they probably decided to give to a better client than me. very sad.

Food is amazing! My Favourite was the chicken Bao Buns.. The Bourbon Old Fashioned was not very nice, as I have this at a lot of places & it didn't taste anything like what it should.. but the Cherry Daiquiri is Delicious !

We had a good experience here. Our waiter was very friendly and checked up on us often. The menu has quite a good variety and the pricing is quite good, especially if you go when they have specials. The food was good and the atmosphere in the restaurant is great. Would recommend it

I’ve always had an amazing time at The Fat Ginger (even from before when it was still The Keg and Beagle). A classy pub vibe with great entertainment (their Thursday quiz nights are one of the best!) and top class, homey pub food. Plus the wine list is so reasonably priced. I must also add that their covid protocols were excellent. Most restaurants have dropped the ball lately but TFG goes out of their way to make you feel safe and comfortable.
The owner Chris is always welcoming and adds to the atmosphere of making you feel like you belong there. We got invited to try out a few of their dishes and they were absolutely delicious. The menu is heading more towards a Gastropub vibe, and perfect for trying something different with a group of people. We had:
Bacon Sushi • Definitely for the meat lovers! Crispy bacon wrapped around juicy mince (same used in their famous burger patties) with a melty cheesy centre. Very delicious and indulgent.
Pulled Pork Tacos • Flavourful and tender pulled pork with a mountain of toppings, these tacos are large and yummy.
Tortilla Chips & Guacamole • A small nibbly portion, but wow some of the best guac I’ve ever had! Plus the tortilla chips were so crispy and divine.
TFG Falafel Balls • Not your ordinary falafels. Super crunchy and with a more wholesome texture, but very delish. And the hummus was yum 🤤
Nutella Churro Balls • A must-have if you’re a chocolate lover! Crunchy churro bites filled with chocolate sauce, these are definitely a winner.
A wonderful first visit to The Fat Ginger! Delicious food. Great value for money. Loved the jalapeño poppers! Will definitely be back!
