A Burger’s best friend – chips, wedges or fries?

This month, we’re focusing on the perfect pairings for burgers. A quintessential addition to the plate, chips, fries and wedges provide the ultimate match for a range of burgers. By highlighting these complementary sides, you can enhance the dining experience, encouraging customers to try new combinations and increasing the likelihood of repeat orders. Whether you’re a fan of classic chips, crispy fries, or hearty wedges, there’s a match for everyone.

Classic Chips

The classic choice! Fluffy and fried to perfection, chips are a crunchy delight that pair perfectly with the juiciness of a burger. Their simplicity and satisfying texture make them a timeless accompaniment to any burger. Get creative with your servings – diners love to see chips presented in quirky ways that provide theatre such as mini frying baskets or paper cones.

French Fries

A staggering 62% of Brits have admitted to preferring French Fries over the classic chip¹, with some of the main reasons being that they provide a crispier texture, lack of greasiness and that you can get more of them on a plate. French Fries offer a versatile and delicious option.

Potato Wedges

The thickest of them all and packed with flavour, potato wedges are perfect for those who enjoy a heartier side. Their substantial size and savoury seasoning make them a favourite among those looking for a more robust option to accompany their burger.

For operators looking to create a truly indulgent experience, other burger pairings such as Mac and Cheese and Sweet Potato fries offer the perfect alternative. A gourmet burger made to be paired with either of these is our Gourmet Burger a la Béarnaise recipe.
