Five Guys has introduced a trio of new milkshakes to its menu this week and they’re based on some classic and much-loved desserts.
The American-style fast food takeaway chain, which has multiple Manchester locations in the Arndale, University Green, Trafford Centre and Ashton-under-Lyne, is well-known for its range of dessert shakes and make-your-own milkshakes.
The three new additions to the ever-expanding dessert shake menu are – Millionaire Shortbread, Banoffee Pie and Strawberry Cheesecake.
Each shake will set you back £5.50.

Five Guys shared the launch of the new shakes across its UK social media platforms toward the end of last week and judging by the responses from plenty of ecstatic fans in the comments, it sounds like they’ve gone down a real treat.

These shakes are also rumoured to only be sticking around for a limited time only too, so you’ll need to act quick if you fancy getting your hands on one.

If choosing between those three indulgent shakes wasn’t hard enough, Five Guys is also known for its fully-customisable menu where you can even add a combination of any of the 11 mix-in milkshake ingredients to create a truly bespoke dessert.

The 11 milkshake mix-in ingredients you can choose from are – Biscuit, chocolate, fresh whole strawberries, Double-Stuffed Oreos, fresh banana, peanut butter, smoked bacon, salted caramel, coffee, malted milk and vanilla.
With that many customisations to pick from, you’d never have to drink the same shake twice.
Each of these three new dessert milkshakes are available now at Five Guys branches across the UK – for both takeout order and Click & Collect – and you can order them via Deliveroo too.

Home Bargains has announced a special two-day closure of all UK stores
Emily Sergeant
Home Bargains has, once again, announced it’ll be closing all its UK stores on both Boxing Day and New Year’s Day this year.
And it’s to make sure staff get a ‘well deserved break’.
After what has been yet another busy year for the retail industry, many workers have been left feeling like they could do with a little extra time off, which is why Home Bargains is following on with what has become a now-annual tradition by shutting up shop on two bank holidays.
All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day & New Years Day.
Announcing the move in a post on social media, the discount retailer confirmed: “All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day and New Years Day. We would like to thank all our colleagues for how hard you have worked this past year, and want you to relax and enjoy the Christmas break with your loved ones.”
Of course, this isn’t the first time the retailer has kept its doors shut on bank holidays.
Many shoppers will recall it has made the same decision to give hardworking staff a break every year since 2019.
Explaining a little more about the decision taken to close all its stores, Home Bargains said: “As a family-run business, we know the importance of being together at Christmas with those we care about most, now more than ever.
“This is our way of saying thank you to our colleagues for their continued hard work and dedication.”

Two Greggs in Manchester will be serving their breakfast menu in the evening next week

Who says breakfast has to end at 11am?
In news that’s set to be music to the ears of breakfast lovers in Manchester, Greggs is giving them exactly what they want.
We all know that brunch is a ‘thing’ by now, so now it’s time for brinner to make a name for itself instead, as Greggs has teamed up with Heinz to bring its much-loved breakfast menu back for tea time, kicking off from 4pm onwards.
The move comes as a new survey has found that the majority of Mancs (69%) admit to enjoying eating breakfast food in the evening, saying it’s ‘convenient and comforting’ – even ranking breakfast as a ‘more important’ meal than tea, as well (38% vs 36%).

Greggs says it has ‘lost count’ of the amount of customers that have tried to order breakfast items after the usual cut-off time, especially in Greater Manchester.
But luckily for those breakfast-loving Mancs, they can finally get their favourite breakfast and sauce pairing long after the morning rush is over next… but only at two Greggs branches, and only for a very limited time.
On Wednesday 14 and Thursday 15 October, the Heinz x Greggs Brinner collab will be available at Greggs St Mary’s Gate and Greggs Oxford Road, from 4-7pm only.
“We’ve lost count of the number of customers who have tried their luck ordering breakfast after 11am, so when Heinz came to us with the idea of making Brinner a reality, it felt like the perfect excuse to give the people what they want,” explained Zoe Harris, who is the Customer Director at Greggs.
“And let’s be honest, a Greggs Bacon Roll just wouldn’t be the same without a squeeze of Heinz Tomato Ketchup.”
