The Fat Badger, London W10: A set menu, yes, but a hearty, meat and two veg-type set menu' restaurant review | Grace Dent on restaurants
Briefly

The Fat Badger, a trendy pub and dining spot in Notting Hill, has opened its doors to all after initially being invite-only. Tucked away above Canteen on Portobello Road, the venue offers a first-floor bar and menu crafted by a former River Cafe chef. While well regarded for its charm, with elegant decor and a cozy atmosphere, some critics see it as part of a broader trend in London where traditional pub culture is reimagined as something new and exciting, despite its lack of true innovation.
The Fat Badger, once invite-only, has relaxed its policy, now welcoming anyone to enjoy its first-floor bar and menu by a former River Cafe chef.
The establishment's ambiance is charming, with elegant wood paneling and candlelight, evoking a cozy yet opulent pub experience.
Despite its allure, the Fat Badger is not groundbreaking; it represents a trend in London pubs that markets the social pub experience as fresh and edgy.
The idea of selling single cigarettes behind the bar seemed edgy, but was likely eliminated after concerns about legality emerged.
