Managing Director and founder of Fat Hippo, Mike Phillips said: “We’re big fans of an Aperol Spritz so when it came to thinking of a new special to celebrate the summer, this was a no-brainer.

“Inspired by classic Italian dishes our chefs have been busy experimenting with the bittersweet, citrus flavour of Aperol and the end result promises to take this iconic summer drink to the next level.”

The burger, fries and Aperol Spritz are available in Fat Hippo restaurants across the UK, on Deliveroo and through Click + Collect, from the August 3-29.
