Customizable QSR Side Dishes

Five Guys Loaded Fries are Arriving Now in the UK

Five Guys Loaded Fries are making their debut in the UK market to provide customers with an indulgent, customizable menu item that's perfect for enjoyment during the cold weather months. The side starts off with the brand's signature hand-cut fries that are cooked to perfection and topped with hot cheese sauce, a secret sauce and as many as 14 toppings of your choice. The fries are thus great for enjoyment alongside one of the brand's signature burgers or simply on its own as a smaller meal option.

CEO John Eckbert commented on the Five Guys Loaded Fries saying, "Loaded Fries mark a historic moment for Five Guys as our first-ever food menu addition. We believe they’ll be an instant hit and a go-to choice for fans across the UK."
