Fat Hippo Treat after Theatre

We took a party of 49 music and drama scholars to Fat Hippo after a visit to Hadestown at the Lyric Theatre. It was a 3 minute walk to the restaurant from the theatre, so was super convenient. They have a separate downstairs area for large parties of people, and were easily able to accommodate us all. We had sent a pre-order, there was a little mix up, that could have been resolved by the restaurant emailing me in advance, but was quickly sorted when we arrived. We appreciate we had a lot of burgers to cook, but we had to wait around 35/40 minutes for the first burgers to start coming out, which was a bit long. Some of the party waited a considerable time. However the burgers were worth the wait! So can recommend. Waiting staff were very friendly as was the Manager.
Great Burgers and great vegan alternatives!

Visited on 29/5 for the first time but definitely not the last! Arrived around 1pm and was fairly quiet. Great burger options and great selection of vegan alternatives. I had the Fat Hippo and my daughter has the Notorious VFC. Didn’t have to wait long to get our order which was amazing. Both of our meals were excellency and great value for money. Side of onion rings were one of the best I’ve had. Would defiantly visit again and would definitely recommend if your in the Soho area!

Food was fantastic as per usual but service was slower than expected, felt like we'd been forgotten about at some points.
A hidden gem.
