OK in a pinch

I'd heard great things about this place but went in open minded. I was seated promptly but it took 30 mins to be asked for my order. Food was OK, the bread roll the burger was in was quite dry though, but still edible. The burger was nothing special, but it was OK! I was over charged and told that the server didn't know how to change the total so I just had to pay it. I had a show to go to so didn't have time to argue or ask for someone else to sort it. Would I go back? Yes but only if all the other choices were not available,Bohns for example is very close and a far superior experience

Pros: 3 vegan options (mains)

Cons: Dry food, Overcharged

Very good burgers, quite a few choices.

This places offers 3 vegan burgers. I also appreciated the fact that they had a number of sides and sauces that are vegan. The drinks (including the shakes) are clearly labelled as vegan. Friendly fast service. A good choice for vegan fast food.

Really good burgers

Lots of good vegan options, and very tasty. I especially love that tater tots are an option.

The best chckn burgers!

I had the Kalu Faker and my girlfriend had the Notorious VFC, honestly the best vegan chckn burgers we’ve had and was lovely to see so many variations so we could try something new! The fried chilli’s on the kalu were gorj and the smoky bbq flavour of the notorious was so rich! A little bit spenny but included sides so I can’t complain!

Pros: Vegan Fried Chckn , Brioche Buns, Variety!!!!

Cons: Price

Probably the best vegan burgers in Nottingham now

Since the closure of dedicated vegan burger restaurants, I'm not aware of a better vegan burger range than here. Every time we try Fat Hippo the vegan range improves. I think there is more choice in the restaurant than on deliveroo too. I love their chick'n style burgers. The hardest thing is getting your mouth round it! The kula faker has liquid vegan cheese. The coleslaw and onion rings are vegan as standard. The onion rings are amazing and are the size of your hand! They now have a vegan Mr whippy syle ice cream machine, and they do a range of milkshakes, alcoholic milkshakes (think only 1 is vegan) and desserts too. The desserts are made with black ice cream. They also have vegan mayo if that's what you like on your chips. I'd definitely rate the food a 5, (but 4 is the max allowed as they serve non-vegan items). Next step is for the restaurant to do what Annie's does and offer a vegan option on every burger.

Pros: Amazing vegan burgers, Vegan ice cream machine, Onion rings

Cons: They should offer the whole menu as a vegan option

good food however service could be better

Spenny place but decent portions. Sides were particularly good and weren't outshone as can often the case. Loved the loaded tater tots. Good drink selection. Took ages to get staff attention for drinks and for bill.

Pros: Creative burgers , Excellent sides

Cons: Slow service

Good

Good burgers, a little spenny and would rather go to Annie's tbh. Also the texture fake bacon bits is hard but not in a crunchy way and makes it hard to chew.

Really good veggie and vegan options

Fat Hippo has a very good selection of vegetarian and vegan starters and most of their veggie meals can be made vegan on request. The burgers are either plant-based patties or Quorn-like alternatives. Each burger has options for vegan upgrades, like dirty fries.

Pros: Very good vegan options, Reasonably priced, Casual atmosphere

Cons: It can take a long time from ordering to eating, Only one alcohol-free beer on a large drinks menu, All desserts are veggie, but no vegan options
