THE CHICKEN SHOP

BEST FOR Chicken takeaways with a difference. FOOD This stylish takeaway prides itself on sourcing the finest ingredients and serving the best-tasting chicken in town. Choose perfectly cooked rotisserie chicken – traditional or Portuguese spatchcock with basting sauces of peri-peri, lemon and herb, Thai or barbecue. Then there’s southern fried chicken or buttermilk chicken – or leg of lamb if you want to stray from the crowd. If you feel like a nibble, chicken popcorn, cauliflower popcorn, chilli cheese bites, potato croquettes and corn on the cob do nicely. Sides include a char-grilled butternut, creamy Danish feta and macadamia salad, while the mac and cheese is superb. No desserts are on offer. DRINKS No alchohol served; just a good selection of soft drinks. SERVICE Friendly and efficient at the takeaway counter. AMBIENCE The décor and vibe are funky with long solid wooden tables, bright yellow chairs and slick beats pumping in the background. (JT)
