A RESTAURANT group has announced it will be opening at a new location in Edinburgh this July.
First founded in Newcastle Upon Tyne in 2010, Fat Hippo has expanded across the UK and already operates a kiosk at the Lane 7 bowling alley in the St James Quarter.
It’s known for its supersized burgers and dirty fries.
A post on Twitter said: “Get ready for the best burgers, dirty fries + more good old fashioned, roll up your sleeves and get it all over your face food in our BRAND NEW RESTAURANT ON ST GEORGE STREET.”

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
