The Fat Tap

Walk into The Fat Tap and you're stepping into the kind of place that doesn't fuss about aesthetics—it's all about what's in the glass. You'll find yourself surrounded by the kind of regulars who actually know their IPAs from their stouts, sipping on Fathead's own brews in a stripped-back space that feels more warehouse than gastropub. The High Street location means it's accessible without pretension, and the focus on their in-house production means you're getting proper, well-made beer from people who genuinely care about the craft. It's the sort of pub where you can have a genuine conversation without ambient jazz getting in the way.
