About This Pub

Ah, Fatsam’s – what a lovely spot it is in Loughborough. From what I've gathered from the chats online, it's got this warm, welcoming feel that just draws you in, with bar staff who are polite and genuinely chatty, making every visit feel like catching up with old mates. The drinks are spot on too; they've got a cracking variety of beers and spirits, and it's clear they keep everything in tip-top shape, which is always a plus when you're after a refreshing pint. The atmosphere is just right – relaxed and cosy, especially with that beer garden lit up with fairy lights, ideal for a summer evening or a quiet Sunday. And let's not forget the fun side; pool and darts are on offer, so it's not just about the drinks, it's about having a good laugh. On the flip side, it does seem like it might not be the easiest place if you're new to the scene, as one person felt a bit on the outside looking in, which is a shame because it could make some folks hesitate. Overall, though, it's a solid choice for a night out – I'd say give it a go if you're in the area, as the positives far outweigh the little niggles.

Cons
