The fast food chain is set to launch in the UK soon (Picture: Robert Nickelsberg\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Chick-fil-A is set to return to the UK<\/a> at some point in the next two years, with plans to open fast food<\/a> sites in London<\/a>, Belfast<\/a>, Leeds<\/a> and Liverpool<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But fans who just can\u2019t wait for its arrival are in luck, as shoppers have spotted that the brand\u2019s signature sauce<\/a> is currently being sold in stores here.<\/p>\n

Home Bargains <\/a>customers came across the product on the shelves at the discount store, where it\u2019s currently retailing for \u00a34.79 for a 473ml bottle.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s not clear from the front of the bottle exactly what\u2019s in the sauce, it\u2019s said to be a combination of barbecue sauce, honey mustard, and ranch, along with various other ingredients.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s fair to say people are going wild for the stuff, with some proclaiming it to be \u2018liquid gold\u2019, \u2018amazing\u2019 and \u2018delicious\u2019.<\/p>\n

On Facebook, Emma Bourne said: \u2018The nicest sauce – have told my family to stock up if they see as I\u2019m currently in the US, saves me buying loads to bring home.;<\/p>\n

While Cathy Hayhurst commented: \u2018This stuff is delicious, tried it in America and had to get it off Amazon.\u2019<\/p>\n

And Rachael Jane agreed, replying: \u2018This stuff is amazing! You can get it from Amazon but it\u2019s soo expensive.\u2019<\/p>\n

Hollie Wilmott hailed it as \u2018unreal\u2019, and Adam James thought it was \u2018absolutely lovely\u2019.<\/p>\n

However, not everyone was convinced. Victoria Grere proclaimed the sauce to be \u2018so gross\u2019, as Carl Mercer claimed Iceland has its own version of the product that\u2019s cheaper and \u2018exactly the same\u2019.<\/p>\n

Leena Panchal was just disappointed that the fast food chain itself hadn\u2019t opened here yet, posting: \u2018Getting Chick-fiil-A sauce before actual Chick-fil-A in UK is a slap in the face.\u2019<\/p>\n

Metro contacted Chick-fil-A to enquire as to when the chain will be launching its new UK sites, but they had no update to give.<\/p>\n

However, in September 2024, they confirmed they would be investing $100million into a UK expansion, with five new restaurants set to open in the UK over the next two years.<\/p>\n

And if you\u2019re wondering what\u2019s going to be on the menu when they finally touch down in the UK, you can expect to see several of their most popular items coming with them, including the original Chicken Sandwich, salads, and Chicken nuggets. <\/p>\n

They added that their chicken will be sourced from the UK and all the eggs will be 100% free range, raised on farms with welfare certification.<\/p>\n

I paired this with a pot of tea and my total came to \u00a34.75 \u2013 a number I double checked twice on the receipt. Less than \u00a35 for lunch in London???! Unbelievable. <\/p>\n<p>‘I didn\u2019t have high hopes when I saw the toastie came from a packet, but the sandwich that was plopped on my plate looked more appetising than ones I\u2019ve had from the likes of Costa or <a href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/tag\/starbucks\/\">Starbucks<\/a>, where you\u2019d be paying more than double the price.<\/p>\n<p>‘The top boasted a beautifully golden layer of molten cheese that made my mouth water, but sadly the bottom of the toastie was a little soggy, presumably from where it had been defrosted and reheated. (Cristian explained everything that is kept in the fridges is frozen and defrosted the night before.) <\/p>\n<p>‘In terms of the taste, this is touted as the “ultimate” cheese toastie, but I\u2019d say that\u2019s a bit of a stretch. It is a solid cheese toastie though! There\u2019s no impressive cheese pull, but it definitely hits the spot and overall I was pretty happy with it for the price. <\/p>\n<p>‘As for the scone, it appeared a little hard and dry, but surprisingly the texture was perfect. Nice and soft on the inside, with a slight crisp on the outside where it had been heated up. It\u2019s a little on the small side, but for 99p, I wasn\u2019t too bothered.<\/p>\n<p>‘I do have to warn scone purists though \u2013 they\u2019re served here with cream and jam, but there\u2019s no clotted cream in sight. Instead, they come with <em>*shudders* <\/em>squirty cream.
