Slim Chickens

About Slim Chickens

Sitting in the Arndale, this is fast food that doesn't feel like it — the chicken comes without the grease slick, and the tenders have a following among people who claim they can't walk through town without stopping in. Order at the screen and it's brought to your table, which spares you queuing with a toddler on your hip. Food arrives fast and properly hot even when it's heaving, and the place is kept spotless. Portions are generous, the chips come crispy and well spiced, and the special sauce gets talked about more than anything else on the menu. Staff stay cheerful under pressure. Two things to watch: it's noisy and busy at peak times, and the add-on prompts for extra sauces and sides quietly inflate the bill — one parent found "each gets adds up". High chairs, a kids' menu, buggy access and free parking.
