As a Golden Wedding Anniversary present, my son and daughter-in-law treated my wife and me to lunch at The Fat Duck. While we were, of course, delighted by such a gift, I had always dismissed Heston Blumenthal's restaurant as being over-priced and over gimmicky, but that was before I had been there. Having now experienced lunch at The Fat Duck,... More

After booking I was looking forward to this for so long, had heard all the hype and as a big foodie who eats out a lot considered the fat duck the holy grail of British restaurants. I had built up myself how good it would be and yet somehow it not only lived up but surpassed my expectations! It is... More

Given the price, I accepted the invitation by friends for a night-out at Fat Duck reluctantly. I knew the reputation of the place, but at £195/head? And knowing we'd end up forking another £100+ (£135 to be exact) for matching wines? Well, it was money well spent. The service is just the best I've had. I've been to other fancy... More

Well after finally getting a table at the fat duck and counting down the three months until I could go. I can honestly say it lived up to and surpassed all my expectiations. The food is not only a spectacle the enthrall but also the most delicious and exciting food I have ever had. I genuinely could not stop laughing... More

After hearing so many things about Heston and this place had to try it. A little hard to find as blink and you could miss it. Quite small inside but nice cosy feel. From beginning to end there is a food experience. I can't even say it is a meal, just lots of surprises and outstanding tasting food. Expensive day... More

We had the Tasting Menu and the matched wine, I would highly recommend the matched wine as it was very excellent. I think describing each course would ruin the surprise each course was exciting and different. The staff were friendly and... More

It is hard to find words to describe our experiences here it was so amazing. From start to finish it was an adventure of sights, sounds, smells and wonderful tastes.'Thirteen' different sensational events (courses is too small a word to use) The staff were brilliant, friendly and funny, they must have been hand picked for their charm. The sound of... More

Where to start. I do not think I can properly confine my thoughts about the Fat Duck to a single review because I do not think that would be fair, nor would it be accurate. It has been over one month since I went to the restaurant and I still talk about it to other people, such is the nature... More
