The burgers here are fantastic. If you have a hard time choosing between the Fat Hippo Burger and the Born Slippy Burger, you will absolutely not go wrong with either. One of our group said they had the best chicken fingers of her life. Just be sure to ask for extra napkins. The loaded waffle fries are a treat but the purple slaw gets a meh.

Nice restaurant, we were seated upstairs, plenty of comfortable seating and spacious. Service was good, food came out hot and fresh. The 3 burger meals we ordered were delicious! £58 for the 3 of us including soft drinks. We felt the quality was very good and overall was good value for money.
