What They Offer:

All things chicken! They offer juicy burgers, chicken strips, but the most important of them all is their delicious chicken wings. They have many different sauces to choose from, which means there is quite literally something for every chicken lover, and with two restaurants, one based in Hitchin and the other in Bedford, as well as a food truck, you can’t miss out.

Fun Fact – Chicken George’s restaurants were born in 1985 by a man called George Cheah in Luton. George handed his business over to his son Chris in 2015, and since Chicken George has been recognised nationally! In 2015, Chicken George won the best takeaway in the Southeast of England at the Just Eat Awards, and this was just the start of their awards, success, and progression as a restaurant/takeaway joint!

Let’s talk food

The food quality here is impressive! Everything is freshly prepared and consistently seasoned to perfection. The chicken is crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and served with creative flavour combinations. It’s clear they put care into each dish.

The atmosphere is relaxed and family-friendly, perfect for a casual chow down with a few beers. The staff are welcoming and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. Whether you’re dining in or taking away, the vibe is always inviting.

Chicken George Jr is a great space for everyone. The burgers range from £8.50- £11.50 and the wings are £6.50 for 4 or £8.50 for 6. The jumbo strips are £8.85. Although these prices are a little higher than normal (especially for outer London) I do have to say, we think it’s worth it!
