   Had pre booked a table but as the weather was so nice we opted to sit outside in the sunshine in the garden. Badger burger was just what we needed. Been for drinks before here but this was the first time we’ve eaten - will be back again.

   Lovely ‘Olde Worlde’ pub with a separate restaurant and bar areas. Serving and reception staff were great. Felt comfortable even though I was dining alone. Food was tasty and plenty of it. However, I had a side salad which managed to be a bit salty.

   Table very cramped & small, shoved in corner of cold room z Beef sunday lunch was shocking Very rare chewy fatty beef, actually unable to cut it and if I’d attempted to eat it I’d have chocked. I was offered a complimentary desert which I declined. Meal was removed from bill, thank you ! I will still come back but hopefully my dining experience will be better 2nd time around

   Thank you for your review Susan, We're sorry to hear that your cut of beef was not up to its usual excellent standards and a little on the tougher side. We do hope that the staff were able to compensate adequately for this and we look forward to seeing you again in the future for a more positive experience. Cheers, Fat Badger

   Party of 9. Sat in a snug room out of view but the staff were very attentive, polite and the service was very good.

   Cute and cosy restaurant in the heart of York! The staff were super friendly and attentive throughout our meal. We went for a selection of tapas and it was all amazing. The Parmesan fries were to die for! We went for a special occasion (birthday), and they brought a special desert for my husband which was a really nice touch 😊

   We booked a table for dinner for 4 plus a baby in a pram. We were greeted in a friendly manner and shown to a table in the snug. A lovely cosy room with enough room to accommodate the sleeping baby in her pram and still have plenty of room for staff to serve and us to feel comfortable. Great food, friendly and efficient staff and good selection of drinks. Great place to eat.

   Our first visit to The Fat Badger as we couldn’t get booked at our usual choice. We will certainly be back. Monday Burger Night is a bargain.

    The best Sunday roast we've had for years! The vegetarian option was really good too. Great service, good portions, lovely service and a nice relaxed atmosphere. Couldn't have asked for more - thank you.
