The Charlie Bigham's side dishes come as the brand's first-ever range of sides arriving exclusively at Tesco locations in the UK to provide shoppers with a deliciously simple way to elevate any meal.
The product range includes Cauliflower Cheese, Chunky Chips, Green Vegetable Medley, Bombay Potatoes, Potato Dauphinoise and Tarka Dahl, which are each priced at £2 for two-person servings. The products are perfect for shoppers who might be at a loss for what to pair with their favorite recipes, but could also be a jumping off point for planning out midweek meals.
CEO Patrick Cairns commented on the Charlie Bigham's side dishes saying, "With the launch of these new side dishes, consumers are able to turn to the brand for a complete meal solution and a one stop alternative to takeaways, going out for dinner – and for those not having the inclination to cook from scratch on any given evening – without compromising on flavour or quality."
