Five Guys launches its own ‘Happy Meal’ rival – but there’s ONE thing missing

Five Guys has unveiled its answer to the iconic McDonald’s Happy Meal, but fans will notice one big difference.

The burger chain has launched a new limited-edition ‘Big Kids Combo’, offering customers a meal deal designed for the whole family.

Available until 1 September, the dine-in only offer starts from £15.50 at participating restaurants across England, Scotland and Wales.

Unlike McDonald’s famous Happy Meal, however, there’s one thing customers won’t find tucked inside.

There are no toys.

Instead, Five Guys says it’s putting the focus firmly on the food as part of its contribution to the Great British Summer Savings initiative.

The new combo includes a regular hamburger – replacing the single-patty burger found in its existing kids’ menu – along with your choice of any of Five Guys’ 15 free toppings.

Customers also get Mini Fries, available salted or Cajun, plus either a Big Kids Soft Drink or a Little Shake, with the option to upgrade to a larger shake for an additional charge.

Cheese and bacon can also be added to the burger for an extra cost.

The restaurant chain says the offer is designed to help families enjoy the Five Guys experience over the summer holidays without compromising on quality.

John Eckbert, CEO of Five Guys UK, said: “We believe in creating memorable moments for families, and The Big Kids Combo is our way of making Five Guys an even more accessible and enjoyable treat this summer.

“It’s the perfect way to share the Five Guys experience, offering our famously fresh, customisable burgers, fries and shakes, all perfectly portioned for a fantastic family outing.”

The new meal joins the chain’s existing build-your-own kids’ menu, which was introduced in 2025 and starts from £7.

That option includes a choice of a Little Hamburger, Hot Dog or Grilled Cheese Sandwich, served with Mini Fries and either a Mini Soda or Little Shake.

The Big Kids Combo is a available exclusively to dine-in customers at participating Five Guys restaurants until 1 September, while stocks last.
