    Superb pub in York City Walls. Friendly and approachable staff. Good menu choice. On this occasion just a little disappointed on the roast dinner, as not up to it usually high standard.

    The majority of vegetables were under cooked except for the brocoli which was so over cooked that I could powder it on to my plate. The chicken was over cooked. I didn't get the opportunity to notify my server as they never came to the table to check

    We’d been looking forward to going to The Fat Badger but were deeply disappointed by our visit. Starters were nice and came within 20 minutes. After finishing them we had to wait 40 minutes for our mains to arrive. My wife’s vegetarian pie was bland, the Yorkshire Pudding was inedible and her vegetables were completely tasteless. My son’s sea bass was nice but the risotto was overcooked and mushy and had a weird taste to it. My daughter and I had the Bean Burger which was very average but again completely tasteless. I complained about the wait twice and was told the first time that ‘it’ll be here in 5 minutes’-10 minutes later it still wasn’t with us and I had to complain again. It’s only fair to say that the pub took off the price of a round of drinks for me for the delay, but I spent £130 on the evening and got very, very poor food in return. It’s a lovely place with a good ambience but it appears we’re not the only customers to have had a bad experience here. A real shame
