Fatty Arbuckle's American Diners (now rebranded as simply Arbuckle's) is an American-themed restaurant chain in the United Kingdom. The Manchester-based business was co-founded in 1983 by Pete Shotton, an associate of The Beatles. It focused on large portions at cheap prices. The name refers to Hollywood director and star of silent movies Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle.
