Monday: 11:30am-10:30pm

Born and bred in Newcastle, Fat Hippo has become legendary for serving up what many consider the best burgers in the North East. This isn't just another burger joint - it's a proper indulgent experience where "the good kind of gluttony" reigns supreme. Famous for their creative, quirky flavors and those legendary dirty fries, Fat Hippo encourages you to roll up your sleeves and dive in face-first. With excellent vegan and gluten-free options alongside their meaty masterpieces, it's the kind of place that turns a quick bite into a memorable feast.
