The Fat Chicken - Carte

Stumbled upon this place looking for a different place and decided to check this one out instead.

Wedged in the crotch formed by the rails 'round Queenstown Road/Battersea is this lovely little pub.

Great Food. Drinks. Free ping pong and pool in a relaxed genuine pub environment. Good for every occasion. Voir le carte

It's a nice place close to Queenstown road station. Obviously popular as it was very busy when we were there, we could only get a place outside.

Food is not fit for human consumption. Gravy is like crude oil. Just bland and lacklustre. Chef is clearly not bothered and more interested in listening to his Rigbiz podcast. Chef Mike is always picking up the slack for this bafoon.

I recently went to this restaurant with my friends and had an amazing experience! It has everything you could want, including a variety of delicious cocktail slushes perfect for summer. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, creating a great atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this place as the best bar in Battersea. And let's not forget about their fantastic food selection, which caters to a wide range of preferences. Voir le carte

So we have used the Victoria a few times over the years (due to the awesome cocktails) and decided to head out for a few Saturday night drinks pre restaurant. Arrived to a packed pub, with pretty much no social distancing whatsoever. To top it off (despite patrons being packed to the gills) there were only 2 bar staff serving leading to a half hour bar queue tailing out of the pub. One in one out on the toilets too. We will avoid until staffing returns and they get out of the badly organised quasi covid restriction setup they have going on.

Burger was good once I got it, but the staff didn’t care that I didn’t want bacon for religious reasons and brought it with bacon. When it came out for the second time and I wanted to double check, the waitress responded ‘it is whatever you ordered’. Didn’t expect an apology because it’s not the waiters’ fault, but they looked at me like I’d just offended them. They also re-used the burger, so absolutely steer clear if you have allergies You should go to the Victoria if you want to feel unreasonable for making a basic request that actually saves them money, while spending 20 quid for the privilege.

I’ve been here many times and never had a problem. Last night I was in here with one friend. I went to get a drink and was told to join the back of the queue but some really angry bar manager. I think it might of been mistaken identity as I was waiting in the queue. When I tried to explain I was sworn at, I was stone sober and this was going to be the first drink of the night. Then she put her hand on my and after telling her not to touch me due to covid. She didn’t have a answer so decided to try and get me kicked out. She then got the bouncer, after 30 seconds of speaking to the bouncer he realised I done nothing wrong as he seen me queue up. He said “she like this all the time” Disgusting... Voir le carte
