What people say
The Fat Goat in Upwey is a hidden gem for those who appreciate small batch beer, wine, and gin. This micropub and bottleshop is run by the passionate husband and wife team of Ian and Helena Fern, who are committed to supporting local businesses and produce. The bar offers a cozy atmosphere where you can enjoy a drink with friends or even strike up a conversation with the friendly staff. With eight taps constantly rotating fresh frothies, you'll never run out of options to try. The selection of gins is equally impressive, with new arrivals flying off the shelf as quickly as they land. To complement your drinks, The Fat Goat serves small grazing platters of cheese, charcuterie, pork pie, scotch egg, and bar snacks that are perfect for sharing. What's more, you can bring in takeaway food from local Upwey eateries to support the community. Whether you're looking for a place to unwind after work or catch up with friends over drinks and nibbles, The Fat Goat is definitely worth checking out!
