Morrisons has launched a new limited-edition Birds Eye menu
Shoppers can choose from three options including a Chicken Shop Ultimate Burger plate, which comes with an Ultimate Fillet chicken burger, chips, baked beans and drink for £8.
There is also a similar option with Salt and Pepper Chicken Goujons instead for £8.
Customers can double up the Chicken Goujons plate which comes with a pot of gravy as well for £15.
The new limited edition options qualify for the Kids Eat Free deal, offering families a free kids menu meal with any one adult meal priced at £4.50 or over.

However, the menu shake-up has been slammed by shoppers who have branded it overpriced.
Shoppers can buy two-packs of the Ultimate Fillet burgers on Morrisons' website for £4 - equivalent to £2 per patty.
Meanwhile, the Salt and Pepper Chicken Goujons cost £4 when bought online.
One shopper said on Facebook: "So you take from the shop floor and charge double in (the) restaurant."

Another joked: "Is that Birds Eye being flogged in the cafe at KFC prices."
Meanwhile a third added: "Surely it's cheaper to buy the frozen chicken bits and cook them at home."
Savvy ways to save at Morrisons
Some shoppers are more understanding of the new menu prices though.
One commented: "Yeah it's a rip-off but I suppose if you've got two kids who eat for free it makes it slightly better.."

Another chipped in: "Fiver for meal and £3 for drink is really good price don't know why people are complaining."
A Morrisons spokesperson said its new Chicken Shop menu was a "great value meal that doesn't compromise on quality or flavour".
They added: "With our ongoing Kids Eat Free deal, when purchasing one adult meal, a family of four can dine for as little as £15."
OTHER MORRISONS NEWS
It comes after a major cafe shake-up at Morrisons stores, with the retailer shutting 52.

Morrisons confirmed it would close the cafes in March, alongside 17 stores, 18 Market Kitchens, 13 florists, 35 meat counters, 35 fish counters and four pharmacies.
The 17 Daily convenience stores, located across the UK, closed in April and May.
Post Office branches inside Daily stores were also forced to shut down between April 9 and May 14.
Branches in Birmingham, Poole, Bath and Croydon, as well as Whickham, Brentwood and Kilmarnock shut over the roughly four week period.

Chief executive Rami Baitiéh said the closures would "reinvigorate" the company and allow money to be invested in other areas.
He added: "In most locations the Morrisons Café has a bright future, but a minority have specific local challenges and in those locations, regrettably, closure and re-allocation of the space is the only sensible option."
Morrisons has also quietly hiked menu prices in its cafes recently, with increases of up to 6.25%.
The most up to date menu, published in October 2024, shows the price of its Ultimate Breakfast fry-up has increased from £8 to £8.50.

Nestlé has discontinued a popular KitKat flavour and shoppers are fuming
We reveal what other products Nestlé has axed this year CHOC SHOCK Nestlé has discontinued a popular KitKat flavour and shoppers are fuming Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NESTLÉ has discontinued a popular KitKat flavour leaving shoppers devastated. The company has confirmed it has axed multi-packs of its Dark Chocolate Mint two finger bars. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Nestlé has discontinued its Dark Mint KitKats The beloved bars were previously on sale at Waitrose, Sainsbury's and Tesco but are now showing as out of stock on the retailer's websites. Morrisons is the only major supermarket still selling the nine-pack - and has slashed the price from £2.20 to £1.50. A Nestlé spokesperson said: "We are very sorry to disappoint fans of the KitKat two finger Dark Mint Chocolate which has been discontinued. "We develop exciting new innovations to delight consumers' tastebuds all the time. "This year, KitKat fans can enjoy KitKat two finger Nescafé Mocha, a delicious new flavour bringing together two of Nestlé's top brands – KitKat and Nescafé." The confirmation from Nestlé comes after a slew of shoppers posted on X saying they couldn't find the Dark Mint flavour. One said: "Where are the nine packs of KitKat Dark Mint? "Morrisons traditionally slow to replenish stock but (they're) not in Asda or Sainsbury either." A concerned son added: "Have the Dark Mint KitKats been discontinued or are they still on the shelves? "Asking for my mum who is sulking about not being able to find them." Which chocolate bars have been discontinued in the UK? Meanwhile, a third shopper said: "Why have you stopped doing the Dark Mint KitKat can't get the anywhere." It is not the first time Nestlé has revealed it's axed a product this year. The chocolatier, which sells products in 185 countries, confirmed earlier this month it had axed Almond Clusters cereal. Meanwhile, last December it told customers it would no longer sell Carnation Vegan Condensed Milk Alternative. OTHER NESTLÉ NEWS It's common practice for retailers and manufacturers to discontinue products based on demand and to freshen up their ranges. Just last week, Nestlé announced three new chocolate bars, including two never-before-seen KitKat flavours. Shoppers will be able to get their hands on the KitKat Chunky Funky - crispy cocoa wafer smothered in creamy milk and white chocolate. While the KitKat Chunky Duo Salted Caramel, just like a normal KitKat Chunky but with salted caramel in its milk chocolate, has already started hitting shelves. There's also a new Blue Riband vanilla flavour launching. In March, Nestlé also launched a limited edition Biscuit and Brownie Yorkie bar, combining brownie-flavour milk chocolate with biscuit pieces. How to save money on chocolate We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar. Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs... Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars. Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere. Websites like let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal. Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced. They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged. Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar. So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger. Do you have a money problem that needs sorting?
