The American burger brand Five Guys, launched in the UK in 2013, has been a big proponent of high-quality, homegrown produce from day one.
Famed for its mouth-watering made-to-order burgers and hot dogs, delicious fries and irresistible milkshakes, foodies across the UK are going to be pleased to find out their local farm may just be providing the essential, 100% fresh ingredients that make up the nation’s favourite burgers and fries!
Ever wondered where the potatoes behind Five Guys’ moorish fries are sourced from? Herefordshire’s Oakfield Farm has been providing monthly deliveries of hand-picked potatoes, to match the high standards of quality and freshness that make the restaurant’s fries so irresistible. These potatoes are then hand cut and rinsed daily, ensuring they are in the best position to be turned into the perfect fry for consumers to eat.
Customers can choose between regular salted or Cajun salted fries if they’re in the mood for an extra kick, and be humbled in the knowledge that they are eating good British produce, sourced from their homeland. And with the Jubilee right around the corner this weekend, now is the time to really appreciate roots and where you come from.
Not only that, but the succulent beef mince making up the iconic Five Guys patties is directly sourced from an animal farm in Scotland, with daily deliveries across the country ensuring only the freshest meat is used when preparing foodies’ beloved burgers. The secret behind these delightful sources of protein? A marbled texture, which ensures the meat cooks perfectly throughout, while also melting in your mouth with each bite.
With freshness at the core of its mission to deliver the best burgers on the market, sourcing fresh produce from local farmers is paramount to keeping Five Guys going. Furthermore, to ensure customers only get the freshest ingredients, food prep is done every morning before opening times, while cooking the famous Five Guys burgers uses staff’s trained ability to judge a patty’s readiness by sight, aroma and texture. And, of course, there is never a freezer in sight at any of the Five Guys restaurants across the globe, as the restaurant prides itself on cooking everything from scratch for a premium experience.
In today’s society, with climate concerns constantly on the rise, it is so important to look locally, and play your part. Despite being an American burger chain, championing local produce is at the very core of the brand’s ethos, as it is this that leads to the high quality, fresh and delicious end product.
So if you want to celebrate the Jubilee this weekend in a less-conventional way, head down to your local Five Guys for a meal that you know comes from the best of the United Kingdom. And with over 250,000 possible burger order combinations, as well as the over 1,000 possible ways to customise your very own milkshake, Five Guys really can be made to fit your every mood.
