The Fat Duck Gastro Pub invites you to their dining room. They are open after-hours all week. You can get there by car and may pay by American Express, MasterCard and Visa.
This place is absolutely awesome. I love the atmosphere and they have great food to satisfy anyone's palette. The servers were super nice and informed me on her favourite dishes (which I tried and were great) and she was also very helpful with the menu. And as always the beer is fantastic as well.
I'm a little confused by most of these reviews...I had a great time at The Fat Duck! Their burgers are delicious, and I was informed by my waitress that everything is prepared in house! It's nice to know that my food wasn't prepackaged. My friend had the steak pie, and when I stole a bite, I was nothing but impressed.
I found the staff very informative and friendly, still confused by most of the reviews about that.
I'm so glad I checked this place out for myself...
I will definitely be back!!
The Fat Duck has the best wings in Guelph and they are half price after nine every night! I love all the food but the best part of the Fat Duck is how many great beers are on tap. They are DELISH!
We went to this place twice. First time, the food was cold- the 2nd time I ordered the fish. It came, finally, with so much -parsley, you couldn't see the food. Both of us left most of our food on the plate. The only reason I would there would not to eat but to have a cold imprted beer, You can't murder that!
Being English I can compare the food here to a traditional Brit Pub - and yes, it is at least in the ballpark. True, they have tried to dress it up a bit - but coming from Britain I can tell you that the food over there is normally quite plain, and North American's traditionally like a bit more spice.
I have yet to have a bad meal here, although I have experienced the bad service that other diners seem to be talking about. It looks like they never have enough staff on to accomodate their usually busy dining area - resulting in stressed out servers and impatient clientele.
My biggest issue with this pub is the layout - it is small, as most pubs are, but the way the entryway is designed you walk right into the bar when you come in and have to fight through a throng of people to get to the hostess and ask for a table. The 'hallway' if you will, to the dining room is so narrow you often end up bumping the table on your right that you pass on your way...awkward!
I love going here as it is a taste of home for me, but they definitely need to step up and get some more servers in there - the rest of their staff and their customers will thank them!
