The Fat Hippo in Newcastle upon Tyne

Amazing experience with a nice environment! Friendly and efficient service from Tristan!! Will definitely be visiting again.

Nice relaxed atmosphere. Great for a Saturday lunch date.

Alice was great food was lovely

Lovely food and staff. Fast service

Please bring the sweet potato fries back, we miss them!

We had a great evening here. Looked after well by Alice and Giuseppe. Great burgers

Nice and friendly service with delicious food

Just spent £109 on food more than half was cold. Chip were soggy the chicken wings were bland and sloppy burger was terrible and the sandwich was cold DO NOT RECOMMEND

I guess I am just getting old, but I thought that the price was a little high, the burgers were good, but the patties were a little lacking in seasoning, over all I was a good meal and by the way the chips were very good! The service was good but the heating could have done with being turned up a notch or two. But over all I would return and enjoy their very nice burgers 🙂

Great burgers in a cosy, trendy environment. Very dog-friendly. Our waiter was great and Alice gave us a warm welcome with advice about the best table.

Fred was wonderful and helpful. Thanks so much Fred

Very kind table service, amazing food and great atmosphere inside. 5*****

Music wasn’t to the liking of these 30 year olds! Chloe was our server. Did well.

Fred really blew us away with the customer service, so smily and just a nice guy when serving us, top bloke

Fred was amazing. Sat us in his section and looked after us all night. Lovely service would come back again!

Had a lovely time at Fat Hippo Jesmond today. It was delicious with excellent service. Fat Hippo always consistently deliver! Thank you

Fred was a really good waiter, great service could not complain.

Tristan is the best server ever. So kind and friendly. Love his accent.

Visitando a la familia en Newcastle y que habían recomendado comer aquí, lo que era una gran recomendación. Las hamburguesas eran excepcionales, gran relación calidad-precio, no sobreprecio y gran tamaño de porción. Comida para niños a £ 7. 50 era un valor excepcional. El personal era excelente, el lugar era agradable y limpio. Volveremos a comer aquí la próxima vez que visitemos Newcastle.

Fantastic food and great service by Ellie

Excellent food as always. Quick service after ordering and Ellie was very friendly and attentive.

Great service from Ellie today and lovely food

Visited on a Friday afternoon around 6pm, seated fast, Good food, friendly service. Tristan served us; he had a cool mullet and tash combo.

Visited with friends and children, one with severe allergy. We felt well informed and taken care off by knowledgeable and friendly staff. Lovely atmosphere, delicious food and Giuseppe made some great recommendations! Strongly recommend!

Nice (quirky) little restaurant in Jesmond. When we entered and sat down we were asked to move along to the tables at the end of the restaurant with no given reason which was a little bit uncomfortable (but wasn't a problem). The lady behind the counter (front of house) didn't seem too happy to be there. The music was uncomfortably loud which made it hard to relax. I think it's always worth remembering that not everyone can tolerate loud noise and not everyone likes the same music 🎶 which means it can quickly become the opposite of relaxing and ends up being more irritating and annoying than enjoyable. The food was AMAZING and the waitress who served us was first class (warm, friendly, accommodating, enthusiastic, reassuring and a genuine people person), which made the experience unforgettable for the right reasons. Yes, I would definitely recommend as I have family and friends that would love this place. It's not right for me - solely to do with the music/volume.

Had a takeaway, they kept changing delivery time. Food was freezing cold and undercooked. Very disappointed

Good Christmas menu and very friendly service from Caitlin!

Really lovely service by Caitlin

Quick service by caitlin will definitely return !!

Lovely meal and great service. Thank you Caitlin.

Alice was outstanding as our waitress, would go back just for her amazing service.

Great service from Caitlin this evening!!

La comida para llevar de hamburguesas puede ser un gran éxito y fallar pero hipopótamo gordo, gran éxito. La hamburguesa de pico salvaje era de una calidad increíble, buena relación de ingredientes y una deliciosa salsa de barbacoa. Las patatas también eran geniales. Llegó a £ 18 todo en orden de salir justo al este, así que no una estafa como algunos otros. ¿Tienes que ser la mejor hamburguesa de Newcastle? Me impresionó mucho.

Ordered for delivery at around 19:30. Food arrived stone cold and dry at 21:50. No issues with delivery man, but food had obviously been sitting in fat hippo for 2 hours before it was picked up. Won't be ordering or visiting again.

Ordered on Uber eats around half 7 for delivery, food finally turned up at 9:50 stone cold, burgers were dry and the chips were soggy. The only bit of the meal that was warm was our drinks… Won’t be ordering again

Great experience for our first time here. Alice was super-helpful in deciding what to have. Would definitely recommend visiting 🙂

Caitlin was amazing - thanks for looking after us!

Lovely place. Great food. My kids loved their meals particularly the milk shakes. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Alice who was very friendly and attentive. Thank you!

Caitlin was very friendly, food was lovely as always. Happy days all round

Caitlin was a lovely waitress! Thank you!

Food was splendid as always and Caitlin was so so lovely and did a fab job, we’ll be back!!

Sat in for breakfast today. The hash browns were lovely as were the breakfast sandwiches. Really good service (by Ellie) and food was tremendous, can’t recommend highly enough

Pedido para llevar, vía colección. Hamburguesa de pollo, salsas y papas fritas. Llegué 10 minutos antes de la hora de recogida y mi pedido ya estaba esperando! Corto paseo de vuelta a mi Airbnb y, como era de esperar, las patatas fritas estaban frías. Lo peor de todo fue que el pollo, creo, era muslo de pollo, lo cual odio. Carne morena con una textura extraña. Comprobé la aplicación y todo lo que dice es hamburguesa de pollo, así que estoy bastante seguro de que era muslo. Tomó algunos bocados y lo tiró todo en el contenedor como estaba vil y / o frío. Muy decepcionante. Mensaje a través de la aplicación y solo le dijo a un día después mensaje al chef ... Sí, gracias por eso. Una hamburguesa realmente vil. Al menos etiquetar correctamente para que la gente sepa por adelantado lo que están recibiendo

Dan was really helpful and gave us great service and a lovely experience. Fabulous food too.

Cosy and good vibe . Dan is helpful and informative 👍

DAN WAS INCREDIBLE AN AMAZING WAITER WOULD DEFINITELY COME AGAIN!

Called in for a burger as they have a lot of gluten free options and it didn’t disappoint! Service was quick and everyone was friendly, our server, Dan was great and was happy to check menu items for the gluten free diner

Great family meal for birthday celebration. Table was booked for 6 people and was ready for when we arrived. The food all arrived hot and we all enjoyed our burgers I had dirty fries which were amazing love fat hippo sauce. Only disappointment for some of the family was that the hand cut chips seemed to have changed from our last fat hippo visit either that or the hand cuts in Jesmond are different to that of Newcastle underground. But overall very pleasant and happy celebration meal.

Staff are lovely and the food is so filling defo get what you pay for.

Another great trip to fat hippo. my son and I are both coeliacs and the staff were really helpful when choosing what was gluten free. shout out to Poppy and Ellie for serving us. we will definitely be back.

Dan was great. Brilliant service.

Have been to a few fat hippo’s, and this one in Jesmond is the best by far! “Dan”s knowledge, advice and service was second to none, & has secured my repeat custom. Thank you!

Dan was a fantastic server. And the manager was great dealing with the allergens.

Dan was a great waiter, very friendly polite and energetic!

El servicio de Dan fue excepcional durante toda la noche. Mi familia y yo disfrutamos de nuestra comida y especialmente disfruté de mi comida.

Qué gran lugar para el desayuno. La comida era sabrosa y las porciones eran decentes. El personal era amable y acogedor. La hamburguesa vegana era un poco demasiado pesada en los hachís morenos, pero aparte de eso nuestras comidas estaban en el lugar.

Thalia was great at getting the food to us quickly

Taliah and team were wonderful, a really solid evening with delicious food. Can always rely on Fat Hippo to please the crowds

Lush food, lush vibes, Daniel was great.
