Pucker up and get your lips round this! Fat Hippo is cranking up the romance this Valentine’s Day with their most indulgent creation yet: LE FRENCH KISS burger.

From 4th to 28th February 2025, Fat Hippo is bringing a taste of Paris straight to your mouth with this limited-edition burger that’s here to steal hearts – and taste buds! Ooh là là!

This heartthrob of a burger features juicy double beef patties getting cosy with gooey American cheese and slathered in creamy béarnaise mayo. But wait, there’s more – add tender beef brisket bourguignon (that’s French for ‘holy moly, that’s delicious), a smoky BBQ drizzle, a truffled onion slice, crispy garlic onion strings and a rich peppercorn sauce that’ll leave you weak at the knees.

The kind of French Kiss that will have you begging for more... beef, that is!

Nick Fountain, Head of Marketing and Communications at Fat Hippo, said: “At Fat Hippo, indulgence is at the heart of everything we do, and LE FRENCH KISS is no exception. We’ve taken classic French flavours, added our signature Fat Hippo twist, and created a burger that’s guaranteed to make your heart (and your stomach) skip a beat. It’s bold, rich, and a little bit cheeky – just the way we like it!”

And because no love story is complete without a sidekick, pair it with Fat Hippo’s signature fries, hand cuts or ‘slaw, or follow your heart and upgrade to PARMESAN AND TRUFFLE FRITES – nothing screams romance quite like truffle oil and parmesan.

Whether you’re sharing with your partner, treating yourself to a solo date (you absolutely deserve it), or just here for a filthy good time, this creation is bound to leave you swooning. Oh, and don’t forget to wash it down with a handcrafted cocktail or your favourite beer - because sparks don’t just fly, they pour. Très magnifique!

This beefy love affair is already causing a stir – LE FRENCH KISS is a finalist in the National Burger Awards and if that’s not a sign to fall in love at first bite, we don’t know what is!

Feeling photogenic? Snap a pic of your burger love, tag @FatHippoFood, and use #LeFrenchKiss for a chance to win a £50 Fat Hippo gift card. Sharing is caring, after all.

But hurry - this romance is fleeting. Available at all 17 Fat Hippo locations nationwide and online via Just Eat, Deliveroo and their own Click and Collect service, grab it before the end of February. Once it’s gone, it’s gone, and we’re not responsible for the heartbreak!

Book now and fall head over heels... and straight into your napkins!

Bon Appétit, folks!
