Five Guys Bolton launches brand new kid meal that rivals McDonald’s

The burger chain’s new ‘Big Kids Combo’ is designed as a limited-edition meal deal aimed at families.

This new offering, available until September 1, starts at £15.50 at participating dine-in restaurants across England, Scotland, and Wales.

Unlike McDonald’s iconic ‘Happy Meal’, the Five Guys combo won’t come with a toy.

Instead, the restaurant, which has a branch in Middlebrook, has decided to focus primarily on the food, presenting it as its contribution to the Great British Summer Savings initiative.

The new combo offers a regular hamburger (as opposed to the single-patty burger in its existing kids’ menu), with a pick from Five Guys’ range of 15 free toppings.

Mini Fries, available both Cajun and salted, are included in the meal.

To pair with the food, customers have the choice of a Big Kids Soft Drink or a Little Shake.

There is also an option to upgrade to a larger shake at an extra charge.

Furthermore, customers can add cheese and bacon to their burger for an additional cost.

The chain’s intention behind this offer is to make the Five Guys experience appealing for families during the summer holidays, ensuring that quality is not compromised.

John Eckbert, chief executive of Five Guys UK, described the Big Kids Combo as the perfect way to share the Five Guys experience, as well as a way of making Five Guys a more accessible treat in the summer.

The new meal option complements the chain’s existing build-your-own kids’ menu, which includes a choice of a Little Hamburger, Hot Dog or Grilled Cheese Sandwich, all of which come with Mini Fries and a choice of a Mini Soda or Little Shake.

The new Big Kids Combo is available exclusively to dine-in customers while stocks last.
