Indulgent burgers on Bennetts Hill
Fat Hippo Birmingham, on Bennetts Hill in the city centre, is a burger specialist with a cult following, a short walk from New Street Station and the Bullring. The focus is properly indulgent, well-built burgers in a relaxed setting, with vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options and a great-value kids’ menu.
What to order
The signature beef and buttermilk chicken burgers are the stars: the Higson (beef, Swiss, mushrooms, Cajun onion strings, truffle mayo), the Poppa (American cheese, chorizo, onion ring, Fat Hippo sauce) or the loaded Born Slippy (double patty, braised pork rib, jalapeños, hot honey).

A go-to for a casual lunch, a relaxed dinner with friends or a family meal — generous, fair-priced and friendly, with options for most diets.
