Fat Hippo Nottingham

I’m extremely disappointed with my experience ordering from this restaurant. To start with, every single item arrived stone cold, and the delivery took far longer than it should have. By the time the food got to me, it was completely inedible. On top of that, both burgers were completely wrong, and not even close to what was advertised. • The Higson Burger(see photo off Deliveroo) was missing all of its listed toppings, came with the wrong cheese, and bizarrely only had mushrooms on it. • The Little Semi was even worse. It wasn’t even real chicken — it was literally two Birds Eye chicken tenders thrown inside a bun with just lettuce and cheese. No toppings, no sauces, nothing that resembled the menu description. The food looked absolutely nothing like the photos, and for £33, I expected at least a basic level of quality and accuracy. Instead, the entire order went straight in the bin because it simply wasn’t edible. I called the restaurant to give them a chance to resolve it, and the supervisor basically admitted defeat, telling me to raise it with Deliveroo for a full refund. Clearly this isn’t the first time they’ve had complaints. Overall, this was a terrible experience from start to finish, and I won’t be ordering again. Completely unacceptable for the price, quality, and standards they claim to offer.

Wow…amazing food. We had the semi parmed life and Swiss Tony burgers with a side of frickles and trash browns. Finished with a lamars bar to share. Highly recommend and staff were friendly and attentive. Thank you.

If you’re after a burger that’s as well-engineered as a gimbal, the Swiss Tony at Fat Hippo is the one. The double patty setup is a solid foundation, but the Swiss cheese, mushrooms, and onions really elevate the whole experience. It’s a messy affair, but in the best way possible. There’s a real art to getting that much flavour into a single bun without it losing its structural integrity. A brilliant shout for anyone who values a meal that looks great on the grid and performs even better on the palate.

Drinks took 20 minutes to come with only 10 other people dining whom already had their dishes so unsure why it took so long. Food took an hour both times i have attended. Good food and good pricing and deals but timing was a big issue. Our food took an hour whilst another table coming after us got theirs in 15 mins and a replacement for a mistake in 5. Staff not consistent with treatment of customers, attentive and respectful to some and blunt and relatively ignorant to us. Felt unwelcome and disappointed with service.

Charlotte was such a lovely host! Very kind and attentive and made sure our group had a brilliant meal. The food was incredible, and I wish I had a bigger stomach to eat it all 😭
