When we heard that Don Burgers were having a residency at this pub we just had to go. We went on Tuesday and to our surprise it was 50% discount. Not only on the food but drinks too. We had the Dirty Don Burger which was absolutely gorgeous and very very tasty and juicy. The pizza we had was the meat feast,and was brimming with meats and cooked just right. If you like your grub like we do this is a must try. Find this useful give it a like👍 follow

Personally pricing was good, staff were lovely. Sad that they charge a entry fee after a certain time. Even if you go out and want to re enter you have to pay again! Would happily go again!

K. C.

Decent enough, though sat near the bar and watch our drinks order sit for 20 minutes before being brought to our table. Drinks are cheap though so can't complain too much. Overall found it hard to get served when we wanted firing covid (Could be helped with App?)

S. J.

Very wide range on the menu here, I decided on the Mediterranean pizza and it was very tasty!

T. C.

Fast service, friendly staff, glad prices.

J. W.

Lovely place! Great selection of cocktails and drinks!!

C. M.

Second visit for bottomless brunch, better selection of food this time, great service, friendly staff who couldn't have been more helpful if they tried. We will be returning

Half Price on Tuesday for food and drink, and half price as well for student on food. Makes it a good place for day drinking and the outside area is cozy when its sunny. The staff are very friendly and helpful, which makes the experience that much better.

Beautiful, quick, delicious. Thanks guys.

I was lucky to find this small restaurant & bar on my way to The Last Post Micro Pub. It's a pleasantly designed, relaxed place [At least it was when I visited] that offers an interesting menu of international food at moderate prices. There are plenty of deals to be had, too, like half prices on meals on Tuesdays. The all-female staff were very welcoming, and the waitress actually coerced me into *saving* (!!!) money: I'm not normally a dessert person - of course waitresses are expected to offer you one, but what she didn't say was: By spending UKP 2.95 on a piece of rather nice lemon cheesecake, I got UKP 4.95(!) knocked off of the bill! That was a very pleasant surprise. As a mains I had the "Fat Cat Marinated Chicken", which was nicely presented and very tasty. The beer selection is, naturally in such an establishment, geared towards fizzy lagers though. But on the whole I enjoyed the meal and the place itself very much. A short walk from Derby centre, and recommended!

Went in on a busy Saturday evening, food was great, drinks were great and the service was impressive considering how busy it was.

S. C.

Very good for after work cocktails especially the 2 for 1 offer. The cocktails are much stronger than the Slug and Lettuce. Friendly bar staff and lots of seating inside and out.

We went for a meal last Tuesday when there was a half price menu. I had looked on line and decided to have sea bass and had chosen a possible starter and dessert. I eat gluten free and don’t eat meat and I was pleased to see a choice for me. Once there I picked up a menu and saw that it was completely different to what I had seen online. There were no starters I could eat and only cauliflower curry for a main. I was told it would be gluten free without the naan bread. I asked what I would be given to replace the naan bread and was initially told - extra rice? The waitress could tell I wasn’t impressed with that and to her credit went away and checked. She came back to say that I would be given gf pitta bread. I was happy with that. After the main we looked at desserts. There was nothing gluten free. The waitress said I could have ice cream which I didn’t want - it doesn’t compare with the other desserts ( roulade etc) and too cold for ice cream. Again she returned to say I could have fruit with it. When I mentioned the online menu she said it was an old menu that Fat Cat couldn’t get rid of! My food was fine but I was disappointed with the lack of choice when I expected something more interesting. Service was excellent - very friendly and efficient. The ambience was good as was the price. I would ask though that Fat Cat ask for help to delete the out of date and misleading menu, and add gluten free choices in their starter and dessert menu.

A. S.

My experience of Fat Cat Derby is solely from a private function in the upstairs bar one Friday night. But the staff were helpful and the choice of drinks was pretty extensive. Judging by how loud it was downstairs I'd guess it's a good place for a night out.

M. N.

Great service, one young man stands out from the rest I now call him Mr cocktail ,he makes the best cocktail the staff are always nice an friendly. The place is always clean .food arrives hot an fresh to the table ,The place to be fatcats great day out.

J. E.

Absolutely Stella service. Adam, Mike and Abbey are wonderful hosts and make you feel welcome. A special mention to the chef who always puts in maximum effort into the delicious food. Thank you all so much and we will definitely be your regulars in the future. Sunil Vasquez.

Did my leaving do here and had a great time. Reserved an area for free and would definitely reccomend this place. Happy hour helped too! Nathan who was behind the bar was great and very helpful.

N. H.

Went hear for my partners birthday,great atmosphere really nice staff,i had the steak I asked for medium but it came well done but i didn't want to send it back as everyone else had there food and didn't want to be the only one eating as the kitchen shut as soon as we had our food,all thou i did have the steak b4 when i went with my friend and it was cooked perfectly,241 on cocktails is great too

J. H.

Great place and really nice cocktails, only draught cider available is strongbow dark fruits which is disappointing. Toilets always seem to be pretty dirty

S.

The fat cat is a wonderful venue with bar staff who are helpful, kind and understanding, the downside being appart from the drinks being wonderful sometimes the food is Okay at best. Personally I'd stick to ordering sides and deserts (and drinks) rather than there meals.

M. E.

Fairly overpriced drinks and very busy at the weekend. A place for the young crowd with overly loud music playing so no one can hear what you are saying!

G. M.

It's ok here. Decent cocktails but poor beer selection. Depends what you're after. Nice outside bit. Good seating inside.

S. T.

Reasonably priced food and drink. Wide range of drinks. Comfortable, with good, polite, efficient staff. Can't knock it!

A. P.

They do an excellent half-price offer on Tuesdays which covers most of the food menu. Staff take the time to get to know people too.

h. l.

Good chilled place for food and drinks. It's nice cos it's in the city centre but doesn't feel like your in a packed out city centre. It's in a nice area of the city

P. T.

Place is lovely but no disabled ♿ access if party being held upstairs, but downstairs is accessible, not sure about toilet 🚽 as didn't require to use it

J. D. C.

Good selection of food & drinks, quick & friendly service. Half price food offer on Tuesday great value

A. E.

The ladies bathrooms are in a terrible state and have been for a long time without being fixed. No excuse for that really. Love everything else about the place

D. H.

Nice bar, good atmosphere, shame about state of the toilets, but that says more about the people using thrm.. Maybe check them regularly.

R. J.

Epic roast. Self serve style and it really hit the spot. Couldn't give it any less than 5* as I went in feeling horrendously hungover and came out a new man.

V. T.

Fat Cat offers great coffee, the staff is very helpful and it's situated in a beautiful area, so I definitely recommend sitting outside.

A. K. (.
