I tried the Five Guys pigs in blankets milkshake and the taste wasn't the biggest complaint

Posters and newspaper cuttings adorn the walls of Five Guys on Newcastle's Northumberland Street.

Speaking of the chain's burgers, Heston Blumenthal says: "They make me happy", while Ed Sheeran says: "Five Guys above everything." I'm not sure if Sheeran is noted for his taste in food, but he has at least been on the Off Menu podcast with James Acaster and Ed Gamble - though his favourite restaurant was sushi, so something's not quite adding up.

Five Guys has a nice and classy space for a fast food restaurant - spread across two floors, it's more upmarket than your average McDonald's or Burger King. The big windows let in swathes of the dusky Newcastle sky, while from the outside looking in there are big bags of fresh potatoes which are used for making the chips.
