Ordered 2 grilled burgers as meals. Burgers were small (looks like 2 strips per burger), taste was average and prices were high. I don’t think they should continue to use the name Fat Chicken as there was nothing ‘fat’ about the chicken. If anything, it was smaller than usual. I won’t be going back. Such a shame as were great when they first opened but not now

I refer to Raheem's review. Ist and last time for me. Burger in a paper, small fries and small drink and the burger is not a burger but strips!!! Ignoring all that the chicken was bone dry, bearly tasty and the bun, my God, disintegrated before picking it up. Neither the bun nor the chicken was fresh.
Avoid this place as its a waste of money.

Should be called normal chicken.
I don't like leaving 1 star reviews.
But I can't give this place anymore unfortunately.
The first time I'm ordering from here in 3 years.
The reason I stopped ordering was because the service was hilariously bad back then but the food was still good.
I thought I would give them another chance.
Well..
Back then the chicken was actually fat!
The burger I received was barely bigger than a chicken strip and it was dry, I mean dessert dry. As you can see in the pictures.
I ordered 5 grilled chicken strips but they were so small it was ridiculous.
Overpriced and not worth it.
A lot better food places out there.
The only reason it gets 1 star is because I can't give zero and to give them some credit the fries were crispy and well seasoned.
Also who the heck delivers burgers... In plain wrapping without a box.. So obviously there was damage. My burger bun disintegrated before I even picked it up.
I live nearby.
If the owner is reading this then please improve.
When you first opened you were brilliant, now it's sad you're so bad.

*PRICE INCREASE*

Apparently there was a price increase two months ago (March 2022), with every meal on the menu being increased by £1 due to 'rising fuel cost' and 'the crisis in Ukraine'. All the menus and digital screen shows the old pricing. Only when £4 was added to my bill, i realised there was a price increase. The manager excuse was the new menus are currently being printed and got AGGRESSIVE along with his staff when asked why customers were not informed but instead charged extra automatically. Seemed like all customers have been charged extra and didn't mind as according to him i was the first to complain since the price hike.

Based on the customer service, and how immoral the staff are, i asked for a refund and left. After reading other reviews, seemed like we all dodged a bullet. I would instead recommend Mak Halal less than 30 seconds down the road. Higher quality food and reasonably priced. It's a shame as Fat Chicken used to be quite nice.

Been here a couple times and thought I’d leave a review. I’ve had bigger burgers before and this time I went with a smaller one so the bun don’t get eaten quicker than the chicken patty lol. Really nice crispy chicken, fries are decent, sauces tasty. I recommend but they are some big burgers for sure.

Was passing by thought I’d try this place out, everything looks good look wise. However Bossman recommend to try burger, seriously it was awful dry. It’s a shame thought it will b really good. Btw there wings are dead taste like honey or something, the only thing was nice was drink lemon & lime.

Staff don't know how to talk to customers properly and so come across as being rude....... they just don't have the correct etiquette to talk to customers.

The food
Ordered a full chicken with 4 fries and 2 drinks to share. This is only just enough for 2 people.
The chicken is cooked well. Should have a choice of spice/flavour offered when you order the chicken.
The burgers are very big. Almost too big to have enough flavour all the way through.
The fried chicken is very tasty.
Overall ok
Wouldn't come back in a hurry
