To perfect
and to serve

Flipping the fast food market on its head with quality and service.

In 1986 Virginia, the Murrell family opened the first Five Guys. With one simple formula, "Burgers and Fries cooked to perfection", they changed the layout of the American burger market. We were so enamoured by this relentless pursuit of perfection we formed a joint-venture partnership with the Murrell family to bring Five Guys to the UK and Europe with the combined aim of serving customers the best quality burger and fries to our customers.

Alongside the Murrell family, we launched the first store in Covent Garden, London in 2013.

Since then we have opened a further 160 restaurants in the UK and 90 restaurants throughout Europe, as the demand for the Five Guys' Burgers and Fries continues to grow.

At Freston Ventures, Five Guys JV found the right partner for the launch and growth of the brand in the UK. The value they delivered was so much more than funding including key insights into pricing strategies and property selection. Most importantly, Freston Ventures offered the JV executives access to some of the most experienced and successful entrepreneurs in the UK. You can't put a price tag on that kind of value proposition.
