Ey up Leeds!
You may have spotted us in Trinity Kitchen or during our little staycation at Leeds Festival so it was only a matter of time before we made it permanent.
You'll find our burger restaurant in the home of Yorkshire cricket, rugby and of course all you students - Headingley! It’s time to add the best burger pit stop t'infamous Otley Run, our restaurant is THE spot to go for the best burgers in town.
Fat Hippo Headingley is based on the popular Otley Road, located next to The Box in Headingley, a vibrant suburb just outside of Leeds city centre. Popular with students and families alike, Fat Hippo Headingley is close to independent shops, bars and only a five minutes’ walk to Headingley Stadium.
As we’re based centrally in Headingley, we are only a short walk from several of the bus stops along Otley Road and a 15 minutes’ walk from Headingley train station. We are only a 10 minutes’ drive from Leeds city centre and parking is available on the surrounding streets of Otley Road.
We do accept walk ins at Fat Hippo Headingley but we recommend booking a table if you’d like to join us at specific time to avoid any disappointment, especially when the restaurant is busy.
Yes, Fat Hippo Headingley is a child friendly restaurant! It’s the ideal stop if you don’t fancy heading into the city centre or for some pre-match grub with the kids before the rugby or cricket at Headingley Stadium. We have a varied kids menu (for the little Herd under 12), including vegan options, and we can cater for dietary requirements, including gluten-free and/or dairy-free.
We have high chairs and unisex baby changing facilities available and all of our facilities are on one level!
Have a look at our kids menu and a read of our blog about being child friendly restaurants!
