An 'amazing' American diner chain that once called Merseyside home is still loved and missed by customers today.
The Liverpool ECHO recently took a look back at the lost Fatty Arbuckles restaurant chain, named after Hollywood silent film actor and director Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle. Founded in 1983 by Pete Shotton, an associate of The Beatles, and business partner Bill Turner, the business opened its first diner in Plymouth.
But it wasn't long before the business expanded to London, Glasgow, Birmingham, Cardiff, Manchester and Liverpool. Boasting a retro Hollywood theme, Fatty Arbuckles was known for serving large portions of American-style food at cheap prices, often on 13-inch plates.
