Europe's first airport Five Guys is landing at London Heathrow Airport
Heathrow Terminal 5 is one of the best places in the world for airport grub. Yes, really – the restaurant experts at Food & Wine have said so. For fancy fliers, there's Gordon Ramsay Plane Food, the Fortnum and Mason Bar and La Belle Epoque and for the rest of us there are firm favourites like Wagamama, Itsu and good old Wetherspoons.
So it only makes sense that T5 will be the very first airport terminal in Europe to get a Five Guys. Soon you'll be able to get your hands on a big fat oozing bacon cheeseburger right before your 6am flight to New York, if you want.
The hub has been renamed 'Terminal Five Guys' to mark the momentous occasion. Expected to open late this year, Five Guys will be on the upper level of the terminal with around 90 seats for eating in, plus a takeaway option. It's opening times will align with the first and last flight of each day, so no one misses out, and will have ordering kiosks in six different languages.
The American chain's breakfast options (egg, cheese or bacon sandwiches) will be available throughout the day, as will its classic burgers, hotdogs, boardwalk-style fries and milkshakes.
It's been more than a decade since Five Guys first landed in the UK, with its first British branch opening in Covent Garden in 2013. John Eckbert, the CEO of Five Guys UK said: 'We are thrilled to be opening a brand new Five Guys at Heathrow Terminal 5 this year. Having opened over 170 restaurants across the UK since we first launched back in 2013, the brand has established itself as one of the nation's favourites for premium burgers.
'Now Five Guys is cementing itself at the UK's busiest travel hub; we are excited to be providing our delicious menu to travellers as part of their journeys.'
