by · Manchester Evening News

A popular friend chicken shop has become the latest fast food chain to reveal its new festive menu, marking the start of the Christmas season. SIDES - founded by YouTube stars The Sidemen featuring frontman KSI - has announced its new menu will feature a unique take on a classic Christmas snack.

Located in Manchester’s Arndale, the British chain will be launching the ‘world’s first’ Cheese Sauce Board as part of its brand-new Alpine-themed festive menu.

Similar to a festive cheese board, the ‘Chicken Tenders Cheese Sauce Board’ (£9.99) features four crispy chicken tenders, paired with three melty cheese sauces: Blue Cheese, Classic Cheese, and Nashville Hot Cheese, plus a zingy Spiced Cranberry sauce.

SIDES is also launching a Festive Waffle Fries Cheese Sauce Board (£8.99), pairing crispy waffle fries with the same selection of festive sauces.

The new menu will also include a Festive Burger (£8.49), and irresistible Camembert Bites (£2.99) - all of which will be available in all stores from November 5.

Phil Neale, Marketing Director of the Sidemen, says: “As a proud British brand, we know how much the UK loves a cheese board at Christmas. So, we’ve created what we believe is a world-first - a Cheese Sauce Board.”

The popular YouTube collective even sent a team to Switzerland to find the perfect cheese to create the ultimate cheese sauce board.
