Five Guys allergen chart (UK)
The table shows the allergens each standard item contains. Five Guys UK also marks many items "not suitable" because of shared equipment — for example tree nuts and peanuts near the buns and shakes — so cross-contact is always possible. Toppings add their own allergens: mayo (egg, mustard), BBQ sauce (mustard), HP Brown Sauce (gluten, from barley) and ketchup (celery).

Five Guys gluten free options
For a gluten free order at Five Guys UK, three things work:
- Lettuce Wrap — on the menu at £7.45: a Little Hamburger patty in lettuce with tomatoes, pickles, grilled onions, green peppers and grilled mushrooms (246 kcal). Any other burger or hot dog can be made the same way.
- No-bun bowl — the burger and toppings without bread.
- Fries — salted or Cajun, all sizes. Five Guys UK says they contain no gluten and the fryers cook nothing else.
Avoid the buns, HP Brown Sauce (barley malt vinegar) and the Biscoff, Oreo and M&M's shake mix-ins. Five Guys cannot guarantee there is no cross-contamination, so people with coeliac disease should tell the crew.
Is Five Guys vegan? Vegan and vegetarian options
Vegan at Five Guys UK is limited to the fries: potatoes, peanut oil and salt, plus the Cajun seasoning (garlic, salt, onion, paprika, oregano, pepper, celery seed, rapeseed oil). The vegetables can be added to a bowl. Everything with bread is vegetarian at best, because the bun contains milk and egg.
Vegetarian options: the Veggie Sandwich (£5.65, 330 kcal), Cheese Veggie Sandwich (£6.65), Grilled Cheese (£5.65), Loaded Fries and the milkshakes (bacon mix-in aside).
Peanuts at Five Guys
Peanuts are everywhere at Five Guys: the fries are cooked in refined peanut oil, peanut butter and Reese's cups are milkshake mix-ins, and most restaurants in England, Scotland and Wales put out free peanuts (some do not, to reduce airborne risk). Because all shakes are made with one spindle, Five Guys UK does not serve milkshakes to people with a peanut allergy. The burgers, hot dogs and sandwiches are not cooked with nut products, but Five Guys warns about cross-contamination and asks you to tell the crew at the till.
Other allergens
- Milk — buns, cheese, cheese sauce (Loaded Fries), shakes and whipped cream.
- Egg — buns, mayo, the Fry Sauce on Loaded Fries.
- Soya — buns, hot dog sausage, some mix-ins (chocolate, Biscoff, Oreo, Myprotein).
- Sesame — the burger bun (sesame seeds).
- Celery — Cajun seasoning, ketchup and the Fry Sauce on Loaded Fries.
- Mustard — mustard, mayo, BBQ sauce, Fry Sauce.
- Tree nuts — the pistachio shake.

Frequently asked questions
Is Five Guys gluten free?
Partly. The fries (salted and Cajun) contain no gluten, according to Five Guys UK, and the beef patties are 80/20 ground beef with no breadcrumbs or flour. The buns contain gluten and there is no gluten-free bun; order a lettuce wrap or a bowl instead.
Are Five Guys fries gluten free UK?
Yes, by Five Guys UK: the fries are potatoes, peanut oil and salt, fried only in refined peanut oil in fryers that cook nothing else. Cajun seasoning adds celery but no gluten.
Does Five Guys have gluten-free buns in the UK?
No. Five Guys UK says its buns contain gluten and it cannot change the recipe. You can bring your own gluten-free bun to put the burger in, but staff cannot prepare your food with it.
Is Five Guys vegan UK?
Only the fries — salted and Cajun — are vegan. The Veggie Sandwich is vegetarian, not vegan: the bun contains milk and egg.
Is Five Guys safe for a peanut allergy?
