Five Guys has reopened some of its UK stores for collection and delivery to serve customers while the nation remains in lockdown.

On Tuesday, the fast-food burger chain announced it would be opening a select number of restaurants to provide customers with food that they can order via the Five Guys app, or by visiting the restaurant’s website.

Customers can also order on Deliveroo.

The click and collect service ensures that people can receive their food while maintaining social distancing rules as imposed by the government.

Five Guys has also said that its entire menu will be available to customers using its delivery or collection services.

The classic Five Guys menu offers 250,000 possible combinations of burgers in addition to 1,000 ways of customising a milkshake.

The stores that have opened are: London’s St Paul’s and Baker Street, Edinburgh Fort Kinnaird and Fountain Park, Plymouth, Liverpool Queen Square, and Guildford.

John Eckbert, CEO of Five Guys UK, said: “We have adopted a phased approach to reopening Five Guys stores, adhering to government advice and ensuring the safety of our customers and crew is paramount.


“To date a small number of stores have remained open for Click and Collect and Deliveroo orders only and while this has been in operation, we’re proud of how our crew members have supported local hospitals and key front line workers across the UK.”

The news that Five Guys will be reopening stores for delivery and collection follows on from several other restaurants doing the same, including Pret a Manger, Burger King and KFC.
