The Fat Hippo sure know a thing or two about being one of the best for burgers in Newcastle. 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 offer 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.

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.
