Go Big or Go Home
The sharing platter is perfect for groups: serve your burgers, fries, sauces and salad on one big platter for everyone to tuck into. For bigger groups, offer the option of adding additional sides onto the platter, like onion rings and chicken goujons. You could also cut the burgers into halves or quarters, so it’s easy to share for different appetites - it’s also pretty Instagrammable.
Sides Matter
The quality of a burger is only as good as its sides. If you serve soggy chips, it’s going to pull that rating down. While the Fairway French Fries are delicious and crispy, we’ve come up with a few recipes to jazz them up, making them perfect for a side or as a dish on their own.
