Five Guys is absolutely atypical and has always been very expensive. A burger and a soft drink in a Wetherspoons (love them or loathe them) will be between £5 and £7 depending on the burger.

That's the higher rate for those who earn the most and, again, atypical. https://www.gov.uk/income-tax-rates
