Burgers are always a staple on any menu, but the right sides can take them from simple to standout. Whether customers are looking for something classic, indulgent, or a little out of the ordinary, pairing a burger with the right accompaniment makes all the difference. At Magna Foodservice, we’ve got a wide range of sides to help you build a menu that keeps diners coming back.

2. Battered Onion Rings
Crispy, golden onion rings are a timeless pairing for burgers. Coated in a light batter with a crunchy crumb, they’re versatile and easy to prepare. For a lighter option, they can be oven-baked instead of fried, while still retaining their flavour and texture. To mix things up, try offering loaded onion rings with toppings, or a salt & pepper seasoning to bring something new to the table.

3. Chilli Cheddar Cheese Nuggets
For diners who love a little heat, chilli cheddar cheese nuggets are a perfect choice. These moreish bites combine smooth melted cheddar with the warmth of red chilli, all coated in a golden crumb. They’re quick to prepare, around 3 to 4 minutes in the fryer or 10 to 12 minutes in the oven, making them ideal for busy kitchens. Their bold flavour makes them an excellent side dish or a premium upgrade for any burger menu.
