Newcastle burger chain - Fat Hippo has finally arrived in Cardiff promising to serve the best burgers in the city. A bold claim, considering we have a fair few indies and otherwise, cooking up the fast food classic in the capital.
Taking over the former site of Bub’s Bar and Kitchen, Fat Hippo opened on Friday (May 20) and we went along on opening weekend to try it out and see if their bravado had legs. Fat Hippo was fully booked for both Friday and Saturday, so we managed to get a slot on Sunday evening, when the restaurant was still busy with a steady flow of customers.
The modern decor of spray-painted walls, showing burgers and other dishes, alongside the black and white look created a cool, modern feel. We were quickly shown to our table and given the extensive menu.
