About
Fat Hippo Newcastle is a vibrant, underground burger haven tucked beneath an old bank vault on Shakespeare Street. With a quirky, relaxed interior and a menu that champions quality ingredients, the restaurant offers classic and creative burgers, including a signature buttermilk chicken patty and a range of vegan, gluten‑free and kids’ options. Guests can enjoy generous portions of fresh fries, craft drinks and a welcoming atmosphere that’s both family‑friendly and dog‑permitted. Whether you’re a local food enthusiast or a traveler looking for a hearty bite in the heart of Newcastle, Fat Hippo delivers a memorable dining experience without the fuss of a formal reservation—though booking a table is recommended during busy periods.
