â 1 Star Review â Chicking Northampton
I ordered a family bucket for ÂŁ26 and chose to eat in, but I ended up asking for it to be packed as takeaway because the atmosphere inside was so uncomfortable.
Atmosphere: The restaurant was very cold as the door was constantly open. I mentioned this to the cashier (a polite guy in a black hoodie), but nothing was done. The floor and chairs were slippery, and the tables didnât feel clean or safe to sit at. The space was small and cramped, and it was hard to relax as people kept walking past our table.
Food: Unfortunately, the food was disappointing too â overall a 1-star experience. The only decent item was the chicken wings. Everything else was too salty, especially the chicken strips. The fried chicken tasted plain and ordinary, with no special flavour that youâd expect from Chicking.

If eaten fresh, Iâm sure they would have been even better.
The only downside is the parking situation, which can be a bit tricky. Chicking Northampton is located in Kingsthorpe, Alexandra Terrace, near the shopping centre, so finding a spot might take some time.
Overall, I had a great experience, and Iâll definitely...

If youâre a fan of crispy, flavorful fried chicken, Chick King is definitely the place to go
The only downside is that the space inside the shop is quite small, which can make it a bit cramped, especially during busy hours. However, the great food and service more than...
