The Fat Duck restaurant reviews






Average rating: 4.7
Dear Team at The Fat Duck,
If I could give 10 stars to your feedback options, I would!
A huge thanks to Karl (Head Chef) & The Cuisine Team (and of course, Heston Blumenthal for making this restaurant happen!).
Huge honourable mentions to the Storytellers who all played a part in bringing the magic to life: Peter, Antonio, Alex, Kostas, Melania, Fanny, Sheena and Karl!
I'm truly blessed to have been able to spend my 37th birthday with you all (on 8th April 2025) and you made it so magical!
I have wanted to come here since seeing Heston's Feasts (2009) and it did not disappoint!
Thank you also for adding the famous egg & bacon ice cream - it was well worth the wait!
I would definitely recommend a friend or family to come with and visit again.
I have made a little vlog and I was wondering if I could share it with you? What would be the best way of going about doing this?
I look forward to hearing from you and I can't wait to visit again!
Best wishes,
Emma
