About The Fat Loaf

A short walk from Sale town centre, this is a small British restaurant with warm dark decor that manages to be cosy rather than dingy — tables are spaced generously enough that a pram and a booster seat won't crowd anyone. Booking online is straightforward, with no deposit, and an early evening slot means a quieter room and your pick of tables. High chairs and a kids' menu are there, plus outdoor seating and free parking nearby. The food is what people come back for: the scotch egg with black pudding, the sausage roll starter, lamb roast with cauliflower cheese, crème brûlée. Portions are generous and the value is genuinely good for ££. Staff are patient and friendly throughout — one parent found them "cheeky and fun". It's busy most evenings, so book ahead.
