The Fat Duck <\/a>in Bray is the complete opposite of its near neighbour the Waterside Inn<\/a>, The Waterside goes for old fashioned comfort (old money clientele), the Fat Duck does “flash” (new money clientele).<\/p>\n

The room is minimalist in style and the food is excellent with very over the top presentation.<\/p>\n

We visited before the recent alleged food poisoning problems, and experienced all the trade mark gimmicks – Dry Ice, Dragons Breath, IPods and the obligatory Snails Porridge. We also went for a matching flight of wines. There are two price options here, expensive and extortionate.\u00a0 We restrained ourselves and kept the wine bill under \u00a3100 per person.<\/p>\n

It was an experience, but I have to admit I missed the warmth of the Waterside Inn<\/a> as\u00a0once the meal is finished, there is no way you would want to hang around or indeed be encouraged to hang around in the rather cold room.\u00a0 Then again I guess that is why Heston Blumenthal’s Hinds Head<\/a> is only a few yards away.<\/p>\n

The Fat Duck is currently number 2 on the S.Pellegrino World’s Best <\/a>Restaurants list<\/a>.<\/p>\n
