We visited the Fat Duck on Saturday night for my Husband's birthday treat this Saturday (Halloween) and I have to say that the experience more than lived up to the hype. After a wobbly start on our part, not knowing what to expect as we arrived, would it be pretentious or cold and unfriendly, we were seated and immediately made... more

What a night, theatre, excitement, laughter, and exceptional food. I was lucky enough to be taken for my 30th birthday and expected big thinks from the UK's best (and the world's 2nd best!). My girlfriend and I were not disappointed. The only time I felt pressured was when being offered pre-dinner champagne, but apart from that, the evening was flawless.... more

More theatre than restaurant. Always a good night with out of town friends. Goes without saying you should try the tasting menu. more

My husband and I went to Fat Duck. from start to finish, it was truly wonderful experience. I ate things I never thought I'd eat! The mingling of flavours in teh various dishes was amazing. The whole presentation and explanation of each course was wonderful. We did the tasting menu - it was the only option available. We also did... more

We arrived at The Fat Duck a little unsure about what to expect and having looked at the tasting menu a little unsure about what we were about to eat, but 4 hours and 13 courses later our doubts were dissolved- and not just by all the liquid nitrogen they got through! Each course was filled with theatre, taste sensations... more

If you want to have a meal where everyone is taking photos of the exotic (often smoking) presentations, then the Fat Duck is for you. The seafood course was delicious and ingenious but the addition of the conch shell with the iPod nano to listen to... more

I have eaten here twice and the food really is out of this world. Sure, you will need to get a second mortgage to pay the bill but for a special occasion this place is worth it. I have three criticisms: 1) on both occasions duck wasn't on the menu (the place is called the Fat Duck) 2) The menu... more

If you are a food lover then you must get to the Fat Duck at least once in your lifetime. The food was unbelievable and they play with your senses along with your perception of what something should be. The snail porridge and bacon and egg ice cream exceeded everything I had read about. The hot & cold tea was... more

This is the most amazing meal of my life, an unforgetable experience. That makes it worth the price. I would rather for go a weekend break/holiday to do this again. But, if you have never been before you HAVE to do the tasting menu. With 16 dishes to taste/experience the meal takes 4 hours. And with most other people in... more
