American fast food chain Wingstop has finally answered the calls of its British fans, launching a brand-new side dish across its UK restaurants, including its popular Birmingham locations.
Fan Campaign Culminates in Menu Launch
The chain confirmed the exciting addition on January 19, 2026, bringing an end to a sustained campaign from customers who had long requested the item. While American diners have enjoyed corn as a permanent side since June 2021, UK fans were left waiting until now.
The launch was met with immediate enthusiasm on social media. Wingstop announced the news on TikTok, where the video was flooded with hundreds of comments from excited customers.
One user exclaimed, "YESSSS FINALLYYYY," while another declared it the "best day ever." The sentiment was overwhelmingly positive, with many others stating they "couldn't wait to try it."
Three Flavours Hit the Menu
Brits can now enjoy the new side in three distinct flavour options. The corn on the cob is available seasoned with Cajun spice, classic Wingstop style, or zesty Lemon Pepper.
Early reviews from content creators and customers who tried the product on its launch day have been glowing. TikTok user Katie G described her Cajun-dusted corn pieces as "yum," praising the "unbelievable" seasoning.
She noted it was a "such a nice side if you don't fancy chips." Another reviewer, Ishan, called the corn "phenomenal" and said the sight of it was "literally making my mouth water." After tasting it, he confirmed the sweet corn's natural flavour was complemented by a "really spicy" Cajun seasoning.
A New Favourite for Birmingham Diners
The launch marks a significant menu expansion for Wingstop in the UK, directly influenced by customer demand. With numerous restaurants in Birmingham, local fans of the chain now have a fresh, flavour-packed alternative to traditional sides like fries or wings.
The successful campaign and subsequent launch demonstrate the power of customer feedback in shaping restaurant offerings. For Wingstop patrons in Birmingham and across Britain, a long-held menu wish has finally been granted.
