🍻 The Gentlemen's Long Lunch is officially underway! 🍻

The restaurant is buzzing, the conversations are flowing, the first drinks have been poured, and the kitchen is doing what it does best.

A huge thank you to everyone who grabbed a ticket. It's fantastic to see a room full of good people coming together for great food, great company, and an afternoon with Sir Graham Lowe.

We'll be reopening for regular bookings from 3pm this afternoon, so if you're joining us later, we'd love to see you.

And judging by the atmosphere today... we might just have to do it all again. 😏

Ladies... you're up next πŸ₯‚

🍻 A quick heads up for this Thursday...

The Gentlemen's Long Lunch with Sir Graham Lowe has officially sold out, and we're looking forward to welcoming everyone for what promises to be a fantastic afternoon.

As the restaurant will be hosting the event, we won't be taking general reservations between 12pm and 3pm. Regular bookings will resume from 3pm onwards, and we'd love to see you then.

And while we've got your attention... πŸ‘€

Ladies, would you be keen on a Ladies' Long Lunch?

We're thinking great food, bubbles, cocktails, plenty of laughs, and a chance to catch up with friends in true Fat Oyster style. πŸ₯‚

Let us know in the comments if that's something you'd like to see. If there's enough interest, we might just have to make it happen.

πŸ₯©πŸ³ Warning: This may cause serious lunch and dinner cravings... 😏

Some meals never go out of style.

A perfectly cooked 200g Angus scotch fillet, golden chips, a free-range egg, and a generous dollop of CafΓ© de Paris butter melting over the steak.

Simple. Classic. Absolutely delicious.

Whether you're rewarding yourself after a long day or just in the mood for a proper feed, our Steak, Egg & Chips special is available every day.

The only question is... how do you like your steak cooked? πŸ”₯

🐷πŸ”₯ First impressions count... and this one makes a pretty good one πŸ”₯🐷

Our Eight-Spiced Pork Belly isn't shy about turning heads when it leaves the kitchen.

Perfectly cooked pork belly with crispy crackling, served on a bed of creamy miso kΕ«mara mash, finished with fennel, red onion, and a rich date jus.

Sweet, savoury, crunchy, silky... there's a lot going on here, and somehow it all works beautifully together. 😏

If you've been looking for an excuse to try something different, this might just be it.
