The chain opened its first Fuzzy's in Fleet Street in 2002 and was set up by Fazila Collins and Georgina Laing, also known by the nicknames Fuzzy and Grub.

Decor

Fuzzy and Grub were always been keen to maintain the “Britishness” of the shops and the unashamed meat theme which was central to what they wanted to achieve. The shop interiors were based on old-fashioned butchers, with traditional tiled floors and walls. Paintings showing the various cuts of meat hung to inform the customer what part of the animal they were eating.

As of 2008, Fuzzy's was in danger of administration.
