About The Fat Cat

A proper old-school Kelham Island pub where the cask ale gets the attention, but there's a kids' menu, high chairs and free parking, so it works for a family afternoon rather than just a beer crawl. The layout is nicely preserved and a bit snug inside — the beer garden out the back is where you'll want to be with a pram and children who need room to fidget. Staff are consistently warm and unhurried. Food is pub snacks and sandwiches rather than a full hot menu, though Sunday roasts are good value and the pork pies at the bar have a devoted following; there's a gluten-free list too if you ask. It gets busy and chatty at weekends, which suits lively children better than a quiet nap.
