UPDATE: Read our review of Five Guys by clicking here!
We wrote back in August about the fact that Five Guys is set to open in Cabot Circus – and now the opening date has been confirmed as Monday, November 17th.
The US restaurant chain has gained a cult following in the UK since opening in London’s Covent Garden in July 2013, and their 2014 expansion has seen openings in more and more regions outside London. In preparation for their Bristol opening, here are a few facts about the business that the Five Guys team have sent over…
- The Five Guys menu is simple, but 100% customisable.
- We have no freezers or timers in any restaurant – everything is fresh!
- There are 15 free toppings.
- Most ingredients are sourced locally. Only exceptions are the pickles and peanuts. Taste them and you’ll see why we had to stick with these for now!
- We consider our fries as boardwalk style.
- Fries are fresh potatoes that are cooked in 100% peanut oil. The cooking process is quite an art form. We calibrate ourselves daily to help adjust our cooking method depending on the potatoes that day.
- Burgers are hand pattied each morning, and cooked fresh.
- Our beef is sourced from Ireland and is from grain-fed cattle.
- Our buns/rolls are the only proprietary ingredient and are bakery style, dense, fluffy rolls. We bake our rolls in the UK through a bakery partnership.
- Charles Dunstone brought Five Guys here and created a 50/50 partnership with the Murrell family.
