The Newcastle-born burger joint’s unusual flavour combinations are placing it on the map. It’s set to move into Jimmy’s location on Low Petergate in York after the popular bar owned by two members of the band One Night Only is set to take over the music venue premises formerly known as FIbbers on Toff Street.
With good cause, new Fat Hippo restaurants are springing up all throughout the North of England in including its Leeds venue. A variety of delicious burgers with distinct flavour combinations are available.

The days of placing a slab of meat between two pieces of bread are long gone. Fat Hippo in York is set to serve double patties with unusual flavour combinations, such as the ‘Wild Bill,’ which consists of a double burger, American cheese, smoky bacon, Cajun waffle fries, BBQ sauce, ranch, and jalapenos.
The PB & Double J burger, which is a double pattie topped with chunky peanut butter, bacon jam, and smoked chilli jello and served between brioche buns, is our favourite.

They also offer up chicken and vegan options with a range of sides like Canadian poutine, which is chips, cheese and gravy to Yorkshire folk – all perfect for a date night with a difference. We are not sure about an opening date yet, but we will keep the page updating on any news.
Fat Hippo’s website states: “What does the future hold for Fat Hippo, we hear you ask? Well, world burger domination obviously. We have exciting plans to continue growing nationally so watch this space. The best burgers could be landing in a city near you soon.”
