The Chicken Royale© took the headline spot this summer as festivalgoers enjoyed their post-field recovery, with orders surging by 35%.

Truffle Mayo Loaded Fries doubled in sales during Fresher’s Week. Meanwhile, A-Level Results Day (14 August) saw the Share Box hit an all-time high.

On New Year’s Day, Brits kicked off 2025 with Halloumi Fries orders surging as the most popular side.

The Chicken Royale© was the most ordered after 10PM and every Sunday in 2025, the 20-piece sides order peaked.
