A new restaurant chain opens in Cork next week featuring an eye-catching mural of football hero Roy Keane to entice diners. Fat Phill's will open on Cook Street in the city centre, with a soft opening this week and an official opening on Sunday, March 15. Fat Phill's is a Dutch franchise, with locations across the Netherlands and in London. Now Mr Kenny and Mr Spencer are bringing Fat Phill's to Cork, with the opening on Cook Street part of a multimillion euro investment across Ireland.
