Five Guys Fries

The potatoes we use to make Five Guys fries are specially selected from farms around the UK and Europe where the nights are longer and cooler so the potatoes grow denser. You can see which farm they came from on the bags in the dining area or on the fries sign by the tills!

We hand-cut the potatoes every morning ready for you to enjoy that very same day. They’re soaked in cold water to remove the starch. We will keep changing the water the fries are in until it remains cold, clear and clean. We call it the 3 Cs test and it means the fries are ready to be fried. Watch the whole process here.

Five Guys fries are cooked fresh to order in Refined Peanut Oil. They’re also ‘Boardwalk’ style fries, which is a three stage cooking process of precook, cool and final cook. It’s a lengthy process, but each of the three cooking stages have a different purpose, resulting in a perfectly cooked fry which is firm on the outside but mashed potato smooth on the inside. Delicious!

All Five Guys Fries have an even layer of salt sprinkled over them after cooking, but we also offer Cajun seasoning if you want to feel a bit more heat! There’s no extra charge to ordering Cajun fries and if you’re not sure if you’ll like it, you can order it on the side. Some customers order it on the side and mix it with our famous Five Guys Mayo which our friends at Heinz make for us. We’ve heard it’s pretty good.

We love being generous with our portions, which is why all portions of Five Guys Fries come with an extra scoop! As our founder Jerry Murrell said: “If customers aren’t complaining that they’re getting too many fries, you’re not giving them enough!” If all this fry talk has got you salivating, treat yourself to your own overflowing portion.
