Fat Cats! (Take Three)


You really can't go wrong with 50% off now can you. That's what I love about Nottingham, they give really good food discount to students (and when you're short on cash but still want to eat out it's great!). I've been to Fat Cats a few times and I try to vary what I have so it doesn't start to get same-y. The herb crusted cod caught my eye on this visit and it was such a good choice! The crust on the cod was garlicy with some crunch and there was just the right amount, because sometimes on things like that they don't give enough crust. The celeriac sauce was delicious and for me made the dish. It was such a good accompaniment and full of flavour. There were a few too many pea shoots but I can live with that and it said that it came with spinach but it wasn't to be seen. Potato wise it was a gratin and the potatoes were soft on the bottom, crispy on the top and deliciously seasoned. Portion size was perfect so all in all a winner of a dish, and at £7.50 for this and a drink you really can't go wrong!

Food Day Eleven

Source
Starter-Beer Battered Cod Fingers
This starter was out of this world. The batter was super crispy, the fish was perfectly cooked and the curried tartar sauce had so much delicious flavour it was crazy. By far the best starter on the ship but possibly the best starter I've ever had! Perfection. 
10/10
Main-Beef Wellington
Beef Wellington is one of my favourite meals of all time and this didn't disappoint. The only thing that let it down was that the fondant potatoes as they were undercooked and hard and the pastry was a little undercooked but it was still really tasty and had a good texture. The meat was perfectly cooked and was very tender and soft and went really well with the tasty carrots. 
8/10
Dessert-Coffee Mousse
The texture of this mousse was better than yesterday as it was more of the mousse I'm familiar to. The taste was gorgeous and there was plenty of it and the little piece of chocolate on top was a nice touch.
8/10

Another great meal was definitely as good as yesterdays so to I'll match the score with a 9/10!
