Over the last decade, something we get asked A LOT at Fat Hippo is "where can we get our hands on your staff’s branded clothing?". We've had so many requests for Hippo Merch that it was only right to get those goods available for you guys.
So we put our heads together and planned an exclusive Fat Hippo line. We're talking the classic looks as well as our BRAND NEW original illustrations. Let's be honest, we both know it's what your future self needs!
It's been a long time coming and coinciding nicely with our 10th birthday, we're super excited that our Fat Hippo Merch store is finally open!
Think of this exciting news as a 10th birthday present from us to you...

Celebrating Fat Hippo turning 10 years old
As most of you know, 2020 has been a big year for Fat Hippo. Born in 2010 in a cosy little end terrace in Jesmond, we now have FIVE (almost SIX!) family friendly burger joints in the UK and a fantastic Fleet travelling all over - Fat Hippo really has gone from strength to strength.
Over the last decade, we’ve created a countless number of Burger Lab specials, brought the best burgers to thousands of events, and even joined Deliveroo so you can have our signature beef and boneless buttermilk chicken patties in the comfort of your own home! It’s safe to say that the last ten years have been pretty damn lit for Fat Hippo. And it's about to get even more exciting... (clue: begins with 'M' and ends in 'erch'!)
We started the year celebrating with our #FatHippoTurns10 birthday burger battle! During February, we had the pleasure of rolling out a special a week, most of which Fat Hippo fans would recognise. At the end of the month, when all four juicy burgers had their seven days of fame, it went to a public vote to determine the favourite!
Our runners up included the legendary Candy Man, a pimped-up version of the Fat Hippo special with a cheeky garlic mayo addition. This was closely followed by the all day breakfast burger, Rise and Swine, which went down an absolute treat with its die-hard fans. An exclusive vegan special for the birthday battle was a popular new kid on the block! However, it was the legend that is Born Slippy who rounded off the big birthday battle and found himself slipping past the others into first place. Although Born Slippy's celebrations were cut short, we made him a permanent addition to the menu!
We also teamed up with the legend that is Lines Behind, alongside long time friends Allendale Brewery to launch our spankin' new beer cans, Fat Hippo Hillbilly Lager and Fat Hippo Proper IPA. Our brand new recipe in-house beers now come in cans designed exclusively by James Dixon of Lines Behind. Beer cans aren't the only thing you can see his class Fat Hippo illustrations on... there may or may not be a limited edition Fat Hippo 10th Birthday tee in the works!
Although a certain pandemic may have slightly affected our other birthday surprises this year, we're lucky that we can celebrate this huge milestone in other ways, like the launch of our spanking new Merch! We know branded Fat Hippo clothing and goodies have been something you guys have been asking for since the beginning of time so it seemed only right to time our Merch store launch with our big birthday. The big questions is though, which items will you be getting your hands on to celebrate?
