Feedback
Reviews praise Fatty Owls' friendly owner, cosy living-room vibe and tasty breakfasts, though some guests note occasional maintenance and a concise menu.
What a lovely place! Tiny and quirky, with plenty of owl themed decorations. Very good food, nice coffee and we will be definitely coming back! No pictures, bcs it was too good :
We have been at the Fatty Owls for breakfast today and unfortunately it didn’t really meet our expectations. Honestly I feel a bit sorry because it probably was just a bad day, because there were some leaks from the ceiling and the guy who welcomed us was clearly embarrassed about it, but unfortunately even if he tried to be as accommodating as possible I couldn’t help but feeling the place was a bit neglected. The window which looked so nice from the pictures online was dirty, the menu doesn’t have many choices and the place itself, having sofas with cushions, is not the easiest to clean considering the current situation
This really was such a calm lovely living room-feeling place. the person working at the time we were there gave us chips for free as he didn’t have any tattie scones at the time. he was very welcoming and let us stay to wait out the rain. altogether a lovely quaint little place to sit for a coffee or quick meal
Great place to relax! Atmosphere feels cosy and easy to relax. Food is amazing with very friendly staff!
Lovely little cafe. Owner went out his way to russel up something for me as I can be picky and nothing was too much bother. Food was delicious and totally reasonable prices.Great place to go if you need a mix of Vegan and meat. Caters for all. Will be back for sure
