The Fat Boar

The Fat Boar is an independent restaurant and bar brand based in North Wales, United Kingdom. Its first venue opened in Mold in 2015, and the brand subsequently expanded with a second site in Wrecsam (Wrexham), located at 11 Yorke St in the heart of the town. The Wrecsam venue describes itself as "Wrecsam's leading independent restaurant and bar" and positions itself as a place where guests are equally welcome to drop in for a drink or to dine. The Fat Boar's offer combines a large a la carte menu built on "the finest local Welsh produce" with a broad drinks programme. The menu spans nibbles, light bites, modern classics and traditional favourites, and is refreshed every month to reflect seasonal flavours. The bar serves speciality coffees, real ales, an extensive wine list, cocktails and a large selection of gins, alongside standard bar drinks. The brand also runs a programme of live music, themed evenings, afternoon tea and a festive Christmas menu, and offers takeaway and delivery of "Fat Boar favourites" seven days a week. The Wrecsam site emphasises local heritage: its contemporary interior mixes solid wood, original features, contemporary lighting and vintage furniture with imagery of the surrounding countryside and of "the glory days at the Racecourse Stadium," the home of Wrexham A.F.C. Practical amenities include free Wi-Fi and laptop charging points throughout the bar, aimed at guests combining business with pleasure. The venue takes bookings with a £5-per-person non-refundable but transferable deposit, and publishes opening hours running from midday until late, seven days a week. As an independent operator, The Fat Boar is privately held and is not part of a listed group. Its identity is closely tied to North Wales, with the brand stating pride in its Wrexham heritage and describing itself as known across North Wales for high standards of food and drink. The Wrecsam opening was presented as a second venture intended to raise the brand's standards even higher than its Mold original.

The Fat Boar brand began with a first venue in Mold, Wales, which opened in 2015. According to the brand's own account, that Mold restaurant quickly became known across North Wales for high standards of food and drink. The Mold site is referenced by the brand as "our first Fat Boar." The second venue, The Fat Boar Wrecsam, opened in Wrexham at 11 Yorke St, in the heart of the town. The brand describes it as "a stunning new independent restaurant and bar" and as a second venture intended to raise the bar even higher than the original. The Wrecsam site leans into local identity: it states pride in its Wrexham heritage, and its interior combines solid wood, original features, contemporary lighting and vintage furniture with iconic images of the local countryside and of the glory days at the Racecourse Stadium. The Wrecsam restaurant and bar operates seven days a week, opening at midday and closing between 22:00 and midnight depending on the day, with food served from midday until 20:00–21:30. It offers a large a la carte menu using local Welsh produce, with the menu changing monthly to reflect seasonal flavours. The drinks programme includes speciality coffees, real ales, an extensive wine list, cocktails and a huge list of gins. The venue also hosts live music, speciality themed evenings, afternoon tea and a festive Christmas menu, and provides free Wi-Fi and laptop charging points. Takeaway and delivery of Fat Boar favourites are available seven days a week. Bookings require a £5 per person deposit, which is non-refundable but transferable. As of the available evidence, The Fat Boar is an independent, privately held hospitality brand with no disclosed parent company or ownership group. Its public identity is tied to North Wales and to Wrexham in particular.
