Five Guys Menu Prices UK [2026 Updated]
So, what does a meal at Five Guys actually cost in the UK right now? I can get out for under £10 with something like a Veggie Sandwich at £6.35, but that’s not how most people experience Five Guys. Add a Bacon Cheeseburger at £15.05, fries and a shake, and my “quick fast-food stop” can very easily sail past £20.
I notice the difference as soon as I open the bag. The fresh British and Irish beef hits the griddle with that proper sizzle, the bun gets wrapped in foil until the steam softens it, and the American cheese melts into everything rather than sitting there looking lonely. Then there’s that ridiculously heavy brown paper bag, usually stained with refined peanut oil, with the famous extra scoop of fries rattling around inside; it doesn’t feel like I’ve just been handed a frozen hockey puck and a handful of chips.
The prices cover quite a stretch, too. Smart Water is £3.15, Little Fries are £5.25, and that £6.35 Veggie Sandwich gives me one of the cheaper ways into the menu, while the £15.05 Bacon Cheeseburger sits firmly at the expensive end with two patties as standard. Once I start adding a shake, Cajun fries, or a mountain of the 15 free toppings, the final bill climbs surprisingly fast.
I didn’t pull these numbers from a generic database. I manually checked official online ordering menus across Central London, regional retail parks and Northern high streets, then compared the differences between franchise locations, dine-in pricing and delivery-app markups while accounting for VAT. That shoe-leather checking matters because travel hubs can price things differently from ordinary high-street branches, and I’d rather show you what you’re actually likely to pay before you order.

Must-Try Items and My Honest Five Guys Reviews
There’s a proper price argument around Five Guys. I’ve seen Reddit and Trustpilot discussions full of people asking how anyone can justify a £20+ fast-food bill, while the queues suggest plenty of diners are still happy to pay for something that feels fresher and more made-to-order. I wouldn’t pick Five Guys for a £5 lunch, but for me it makes much more sense as a premium Friday-night treat when I’m after a proper counter-service burger rather than generic fast food.
Bacon Cheeseburger — My Editor’s Pick
The Bacon Cheeseburger is my Editor’s Pick because it’s where Five Guys’ premium price point makes the most sense to me. The two fresh patties get a proper griddle sear, the American cheese melts into the meat, and the crispy maple bacon adds enough smoky sweetness to make every bite feel substantial rather than just greasy.
I usually go All the Way, then add a couple of extra toppings depending on my mood. Pair that burger with a shared Regular Fries and a custom shake and I’ve got my ideal Five Guys combo, although I wouldn’t pretend it’s cheap.
Boardwalk and Cajun Fries — Huge Portions, Better Shared
The fries are where I think Five Guys gives you more food than you expect. Even the Little Fries are enough for one person, while a Regular can comfortably serve two, and I’d only order a Large for myself if I was planning to eat nothing else.
They’re cooked in 100% refined peanut oil, which gives these boardwalk-style chips a noticeably different flavour from standard fast-food fries. Then comes the famous extra scoop thrown into the grease-stained paper bag, so the portion you see on the counter isn’t necessarily the portion you actually take home.
Veggie Sandwich and Lettuce Wraps — Best Budget and Healthier Choices
If I’m trying to keep the bill down, the £6.35 Veggie Sandwich is my Best Budget Meal and Best Vegetarian Option. It gives me a proper made-to-order Five Guys experience without paying burger money, although it obviously isn’t the choice I’d make when I’m craving that double-patty hit.
For my Best Healthy Choice, I’d go for a lettuce wrap and load it with the free toppings rather than adding another bun. Dropping the bread can cut the calories substantially, and the fully customisable format means I can still get grilled onions, jalapeños and other favourites without making the meal feel boring.
Cheaper Alternatives to Five Guys in the UK
Nutrition & Dietary Information
- Highest Protein: Two beef patties provide 36g of protein before the bun and toppings enter the picture. Selected UK branches also offer a Myprotein vanilla powder add-on for shakes: the regular 12g scoop adds 54 kcal, while the little 6g scoop adds 27 kcal.
- Vegan: Five Guys UK doesn’t have a dedicated vegan burger or vegan bun on its standard menu. Salted and Cajun fries are vegan options, but regular buns and milkshakes aren’t; I’d still confirm ingredients and preparation with staff if I’m ordering for someone who follows a strict vegan diet.
- Gluten Free: Regular burger buns, hot dog buns, HP Brown Sauce, and Biscoff or Oreo shake mix-ins contain gluten, while beef patties and fries have no gluten ingredients listed; cross-contamination remains a risk, so I wouldn’t treat that as a guarantee of safety.
- Halal Information: Only three named branches are fully HCO Halal-certified: Birmingham Fort, London Park Royal and Manchester Arndale. These serve halal-certified beef without pork or alcohol; other branches across London, Manchester, Scotland and Wales serve halal beef while also offering pork bacon cooked on a separate grill, so I never assume every Five Guys in the UK is halal.
- Allergen Notes: Online and delivery orders can’t accommodate allergy requests, so anyone with an allergy needs to speak to staff and order in person. Five Guys also can’t serve milkshakes to people with peanut allergies because the shake station handles peanut butter products; for serious allergies, I’d discuss the risk with the restaurant before ordering rather than relying on an online menu.
Ways to Save Money
- Coupons: There are no universal public Five Guys UK coupon codes. I wouldn’t waste time trying random codes at checkout; I’d focus on verified offers through official channels instead.
- Rewards Program: Five Guys Rewards launched in Great Britain on 21 April 2026, and joining is free. The listed benefits include free fries as a welcome reward, half-price sides, buy-one-get-one-free mains and birthday shakes, making the programme worth checking before I pay full price.
- Student Discounts: There’s no permanent percentage discount for students. I’d check Student Beans and the Rewards app for limited-time promotions, including a recent free M&M’s shake offer, rather than assuming my student status automatically knocks money off the bill.
- Mobile App Offers: The app is useful for Click & Collect, especially when I want to order ahead instead of standing around waiting for my food. Downloading it doesn’t automatically unlock a discount, though, so I look at the actual offers available before treating it as a money-saving trick.
- Blue Light Card: One confirmed saving is the Blue Light Card’s 10% discount at the till, with a QR code required; it doesn’t apply to delivery, so I factor that in before choosing how to order.
Five Guys UK FAQ
How much is a standard Five Guys burger?
A standard burger costs £12.25–£15.05. And remember, that means two patties. It’s a hefty burger, but once you add fries and a drink, that cheap-and-cheerful fast-food lunch has disappeared.
What’s a “Little” burger?
Don’t let the name fool you. A Little burger is a proper single-patty burger, priced at £9.45–£12.15, and honestly, it’s what most people should order unless they’re absolutely starving.
Do Five Guys do meal deals?
No. Everything is separate.
That’s where the till starts getting cheeky. Burger here, fries there, drink on top — suddenly you’re looking at £20-plus for lunch. There’s no magic adult combo knocking a few quid off at the end.
Are the 15 toppings actually free?
Yes. Load the thing up.
All 15 toppings are free, so this is where I claw back a bit of value. Grilled onions, jalapeños, mushrooms, pickles — pile them on. If I’m paying Five Guys money, I’m certainly not leaving free toppings behind.
What about Five Guys Kids Meals?
Kids Meals cost £8.60–£10.60, which can make a lot more sense than accidentally buying a full adult meal for a child.
It’s one of the easier ways to keep the bill from getting ridiculous when you’re feeding the family.
Is Five Guys good for vegetarians?
Not really, if you’re expecting some brilliant meat-free burger. The Veggie Sandwich is basically grilled vegetables and cheese in a bun, and there’s also Grilled Cheese — but there’s no convincing fake-meat patty waiting in the wings.
Can I eat keto or gluten-free at Five Guys?
The lettuce wrap is the obvious move. Ditch the bun, keep the burger and toppings, and you’ve still got a decent meal without the bread.
What’s the deal with peanut oil?
They fry the fries in 100% refined peanut oil. If you have a nut allergy, stay well away — it’s not worth taking chances over a burger and chips.
Are Five Guys drinks refillable?
Yes, and this is one of the few genuine bargains on the menu. The Freestyle machines give you loads of drink combinations and refills, which feels pretty good after watching the burger price climb.
How big are the Five Guys fries?
Massive.
A Regular is easily enough for two people, especially with that infamous extra scoop thrown into the bag. A Large for one person is a joke unless you’re planning to spend the afternoon eating chips.
Is Five Guys delivery more expensive?
Usually, the final delivery bill is where things get annoying. Uber Eats and Deliveroo can show different prices, then you’ve got delivery and service charges sitting on top, so that £15 burger suddenly looks even more painful. If you want the best shot at the restaurant price, get off the sofa and walk to the high street, mate.
Are Five Guys UK Prices Worth It in 2026? My Take
That first look at the till can hurt. Five Guys isn’t a cheap £5 high-street burger, but I think the fresh beef, mountain of fries and ridiculous amount of free customisation make more sense when I treat it as a proper fast-food blowout rather than an everyday lunch.
Prices move around, so I keep checking receipts, restaurant menus and online ordering prices rather than letting an old figure sit here for months. A regional retail park won’t always charge exactly what I see in a Central London location, airport terminal or a delivery basket with a markup attached.
My order is still pretty simple: Bacon Cheeseburger All the Way, Regular Fries split between two people, and a refillable drink. It isn’t cheap, but it gives me the full Five Guys experience without ordering half the menu and wondering where the money went.
So, what’s your local Five Guys charging right now? And what’s your go-to order when you’re willing to spend the quid?
