Whilst the Red Cat ceased to be a pub in recent years it operated as a restaurant under the same name but following a change of ownership in October 2014 its name changed to the Fat Bull after over 160 years as the Red Cat.
After a few years as the Fat Bull a change of hands led to the pub reverting back to the Red Cat, which it remains to this day (c.2021).
