Fat Hippo Soho

Walk into Fat Hippo and you're stepping into the kind of place that takes its beef seriously—no pretence, no faffing about. You'll find yourself wedged between Soho's chaos and genuine burger craft: they're grinding their own meat, toasting buns properly, and not drowning everything in mayo like some places do. The menu's refreshingly straightforward, but what matters is the execution. Grab a seat at the counter if you can, order a classic or go rogue with the specials, and watch them actually cook your burger rather than just assemble one. It's the sort of spot that's earned its reputation through consistency rather than Instagram hype.
