Favorite Chicken Barking — Restaurant in London

⭐️ 1/5 Stars Masterclass in Nickel-and-Diming: Broken Card Machines & Sauce Austerity"*

This place has perfected the art of squeezing every penny while delivering the bare minimum. Let’s start with the “conveniently broken” card machines—a suspiciously recurring issue that only seems to resolve itself when your order crosses some secret financial threshold. Funny how a £5 transaction is “cash only,” but magically, the tech works flawlessly for £30+ orders. Either fix your equipment or stop lying to customers.

Then there’s the sauce saga. Charging extra for condiments is one thing, but handing out sauce portions like it’s liquid gold is just insulting. The only time they’ll “generously” pour it for you? A single, sad drizzle—enough for maybe one chip—before clutching the bottle like Gollum with the One Ring. If you’re that desperate to save costs, just admit it instead of pretending you’re doing customers a favor.

What’s worse is how this experience taints the entire “Favourites” brand. If this is how local favorites operate—nickel-and-diming, dishonesty, and laughable service—count me out permanently. I’ll take my appetite (and my card) somewhere that values customers more than their condiment budget.

Pro tip: Bring cash, bring your own sauce, and maybe bring a magnifying glass to spot the...

I have lived in the local area for the past 10 years and have visited this local chicken shop numerous times over the years. In the last few years there quality of chicken has dropped drastically. Their chicken burgers now taste like artificial chicken breast and taste very rubbery, well that’s if you can find any chicken, as it’s mostly batter. One thing I would warn you is not to be one of the first at lunchtimes, as you will be greeted with yesterdays reheats. I suppose the best way to describe the taste is like chewing on zombie after it has been dug up after 1000 years in the ground. The real icing on the cake are the staff, who looked like they have taken lessons in customer services from Basil Fawlty. The amount of times I have seen them being flipped with customers, well let’s just say if I got a pound for everytime they have, I would be a multi millionaire. I suppose we all have choices and mine is not to walk around the corner to this establishment anymore. Well on the plus side the fries are only thing which gives them the one star. Well that’s me done and you can make your...

I have never done this before and always do my best to give honest reviews but I just have to make clear that I had a really bad experience with this place. Don’t waste you’re time or money with them. They got the order wrong and gave a rubbish excuse as a ploy to make you reorder because ‘they will sort you out next time’ (2nd time this happened). They also don’t deliver to the door and it seems you have to go to them in the middle of the street to get your food. When I enquired to the reason for this the person delivering was incredibly rude and just wanted the money without allowing me to check the order (seriously have a feeling he spat in the food because I was telling him to deliver to the door prior to him delivering). Another issue is I feel anyone can leave a review on this site so have a strong feeling that these 4-5 stars are fake. Won’t be ordering from this...
