The Great British public love a burger and the people of Swindon appear to be no different. With the recent news that Five Guys restaurant has expanded its seating area after a surge in business, Wiltshire’s first Five Guys franchise is clearly going well.

Swindon has numerous other burger joints, though, and it's a town with a wide variety of other food options, yet people can’t seem to get enough of Five Guys at the moment. It’s understandable, of course. Not only does Five Guys provide us Brits with the ultimate American burger dining experience, but it offers a burger menu like no other in this country. People have even discovered secret menu hacks, alongside starting fan pages on social media or wearing Five Guys merchandise. It’s a brand that is growing rapidly in the UK, that’s for sure.

What separates Five Guys out from other establishments selling burgers, though? Why is it so popular in Swindon? Here’s a look at a few reasons as to why.

The burgers

Perhaps somewhat unsurprisingly, Five Guys’ burgers are its main selling point. Even its standard two patty burger which comes in four variations is a delight. Whether you’re interested in a hamburger, cheeseburger, bacon burger or a bacon cheeseburger, Five Guys has you covered. The patties taste, unlike any other fast food creation, the burgers are beautifully made and, despite the relatively expensive price, you’ll struggle to find a better fast-food burger in the country. There are options for vegetarians too, with a grilled cheese and a veggie sandwich proving popular. Much

The toppings

There are 15 toppings to choose from at Five Guys, with the options to go with Mayo, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, ketchup, mustard, relish, onions, jalapenos, green peppers, bar-b-que sauce, hot sauce and A1 sauce. They’re all free, too. No other fast-food chain offers that sort of variety which contributes towards making a truly tasty and unique burger for you and you only. According to Five Guys themselves, there are over 250,000 possible ways to order a burger at Five Guys.

The chips

With fish and chips a national dish over here, we do know a good chip from a bad one. The chips (or French fries) Five Guys offer certainly match up to our high standards. They’re twice-fried in peanut oil, crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. Not only do they taste good but they look scrumptious too, with the skin left on and an all-round flavoursome and solid chip which is clearly pleasing the locals here in Swindon.

The atmosphere

A Five Guys restaurant promises to have a vibrant and fun atmosphere unrivalled by many other fast food establishments where food can be served without a smile, and you can’t see your food being prepared or smell it cooking away. Everything is fresh at Five Guys, and people are always smiling.

The fans

Five Guys has built up a loyal fanbase since making huge strides in America, and it appears to be no different here in the UK, with people jumping on board the Five Guys train as soon as it first arrived in the country. Five Guys clothing isn’t uncommon to see on the streets, alongside celebrity fans such as Barack and Michelle Obama.
