The Fat Hippo Jesmond

The Fat Hippo sure know a thing or two about putting together a textbook burger. Each of their patties is made fresh on a daily basis, using nothing but 100% Northumbria beef and squeezed between a crispy brioche bun alongside all manner of gourmet toppings.

These carnivorous beauties start at £8, and there’s a good range of options. Tuck into an 8 ouncer with triple fried chips or embark on a showdown with the Captain Cook; a gluttonous harmony of three patties, bacon, cheese and fat hippo sauce for £14. Selected burgers are available at slashed down rates during happy hour on weekdays.

Such an eating extravaganza will certainly work up a thirst, so it’s lucky the booze game is strong at Fat Hippo too. Peruse a list of craft beers, wines and ciders, or wash your food down with a liqueur laced milkshake to celebrate a job well done.
