About Fat Hippo Jesmond

Fat Hippo Jesmond is the original branch of the North East burger chain, on St Georges Terrace near West Jesmond Metro station, where the business began in 2010. The menu centres on burgers, including beef and chicken options, with vegan choices and a children's menu, plus gluten-free and dairy-free options. The restaurant is family-friendly, with high chairs, spacious booths and baby-changing facilities, and welcomes well-behaved dogs in its outdoor seating area. Walk-ins are accepted, though booking is recommended at busy times. A student discount is available Monday to Thursday. Its casual, informal setting has made it a long-standing fixture on the Jesmond dining scene.
