On the fence - Edit

As the title says, on the fence.

My wife and I tried all the best they had to offer vegan wise. At the one end, the Parm-Ela Anderson burger was very, very good with a garlic butter fries side to die for. Seriously, Fat Hippo if you read this, make this a regular on your menu.

Some of the food was good and fine - the regular menu burgers that is and sides but be warned - the Fat Hippo sauce has a bit of a kick and this isn’t explained in menus.

Finally, the service… it was friendly and welcoming. But - I asked if a milkshake was vegan or could be veganised and was told it was vegan. My drink arrived and after having to taste the cream to determine it wasn’t vegan (and didn’t clock the meat bacon on top), I was met with an apology and a fresh drink. But I can’t help feel slightly annoyed that it was missing bacon when they have facon for other dishes and they were out of another ingredient so it wasn’t really like the item on the menu. Not to mention I specified vegan from the out. At that price, frustrating.

Will I return again? Not sure.

Lots of vegan options - Edit

Super filling indulgent burgers. Had their limited edition christmas one with Christmas chips. Would recommend! Will have to come back to try their milkshakes

Bad. - Edit

Despite ordering a vegan burger I was given a chicken burger instead. They had replaced my burger with the correct dish when I complained and removed the item from the bill but unfortunately my trust in them has gone.

Pros: Helpful staff

Cons: Wrong order, Long waits

The frickles were amazing but no dappa! - Edit

I have been wanting to go to fat hippo for ages as I’ve been desperate to try the vegan soft-serve. The starters were amazing. We shared the frickles and vegan trash browns. Both we’re great!
Then we both had the kula faker and it was nice but just too big. We shouldn’t have had the starters!

The biggest disappointment was that the ice-cream machine is broken and has been for weeks apparently. This was the main reason I went so not particularly impressed to be honest.

Some of the food was a bit greasy, especially the onion rings.

Sadly lacked a lot - Edit

We both had the 5 lies burger and it looked very sorry for itself. The burger was over cooked. I ordered hand cuts and was only told when the food arrived they didn’t have any. Their soft serve machine is broken so no desserts. A disappointing experience.
