A 5-year-old child urgently needed to use the toilet while we were in central London, but we couldn't find any public facilities nearby. The staff at this establishment refused to let the child use their toilet unless we made a purchase.

Is this really how your business operates? Refusing a young child access to a restroom just to make money? I would not recommend the Piccadilly Circus Five Guys, as they show no respect for basic human decency.

I'm appalled that in 2024, businesses would essentially charge someone to use the restroom, especially when a child is in urgent need.

Hi Dima, we’re really sorry to hear about your experience at our Piccadilly Circus store. We can understand the disappointment this may have caused.

Our teams have always been vigilant regarding toilet usage and follow the procedure that toilets are for customer use only, to ensure strict hygiene standards are kept. A code is required to enter the facilities at this store, which is located on the receipt.

Having said that, we do expect some empathy from our crew for certain scenarios and understand toilet usage should be available readily for customers that need the facilities.

We will ensure that you feedback is shared with the management and team in store so this can be reviewed internally. We will ensure our policies are always explained in a friendly and courteous manner.

Pay for tap water. What crooks!

After spending £35 on burgers in Piccadilly store on burgers, chips and a milkshake, I asked for some tap water. I was offered a tiny paper cup and told to queue up again and pay for it! Unbelievable! How callous can a business be? Would you visit a Five Guys again after that?

We’ve been to Five Guys Piccadilly…

We’ve been to Five Guys Piccadilly London for some snacks and we were greeted by a friendly and helpful worker Emmanuel. The foods and drinks was really great. The best thing was the awesome customer service. Will definitely be back to buy more food.

I was served by a young man I believe his name was Emmanuel. Impeccable customer service. A good face for the company all because of his politeness I will be returning and bring more friends along with me.

The most friendly staff I have ever met

Went to the Piccadilly Circus one and they had the most friendly staff I've ever met. from the man at the door directing you where to go, to the servers, to the people who were doing the clearing up. They could not have been nicer or more helpful. Divine milk shake and good quality burgers but what impressed me most was the attitude of the staff. It made for a much nicer experience. Keep it up guys!
