● Every day, approximately 1,122 bags of 25kg of potatoes are hand-cut into fresh fries across the UK. Brits have a clear preference for the classic salted fries, ordering three times as many compared to the Cajun spiced alternative.

Five Guys knows nothing hits the spot quite like a burger cooked just the way you like it. So whether you’re someone who dips their fries in a milkshake? Eats the meat from the burger and then the bread, or vetoes the bread altogether and goes for a lettuce wrap? This National Burger Day, Five Guys encourages you to head down to your local restaurant, and show us how you burger!
