“ We’ve tried others but can’t beat a chicken run for consistently good food, great portion size and taste. We got 2 large curry mutton with steamed veg, rice and peas. Was good today and didn’t get a dumpling but will always come here when I don’t feel like cooking x The meat was melt in mouth with plenty of carrots and potatoes. Rice and Peas was really fresh and thankfully no sugar in it, like iv noticed other places seem to be adding lately. Only regret is not buying oxtail as well lol x ”

“ One of Manchester Oldset ORIGINAL Chicken shops steeped in decade's of traditional Caribbean flavours, culture an traditional recipes guaranteed to stir your soul as well as your tastebuds. From the delicate blends of spices to sumptuously soft and flaky pastry of the patties this great place has something for everyone. From hand made, fresh patties dinners and cakes you'll always be coming back for more and why not wash it down with some of their homemade juices. The staff are amazing and some complain about the small wait but for me it just adds to the excitement when you finally get to eat. If this doesn't become one of your staples once a week you've no food sense at all. Love this joint. ”
