Fat Hippo Headingley
Restaurant
8 Otley Rd, Headingley, Leeds LS6 2AD
Gluten-free food
Fat Hippo in Headingley offers burgers with a non-gluten-containing ingredients bun and a separate NGCI menu. The chain distinguishes ingredients from preparation: it says its kitchens contain gluten and other allergens, cannot guarantee dishes are free from traces, and may not suit people who react to traces. Check the current burger, toppings, fries and preparation with the team before ordering.
It’s open 17:00 to 21:00 from Monday to Thursday, and 11:45 to 22:00 from Friday to Saturday, and 11:45 to 21:00 on Sunday. Check with the venue for holiday opening times.
Tell the team about any allergy or coeliac requirements before ordering.
