Fried chicken pieces
On the bone, fried the way it has always been done here. The bone takes longer than everything else on the board, and it is worth the wait.

chicken.
Chicken on the bone, wings, strips, and the wedges people ask for by name. It goes in the fryer once you have ordered, so give it a few minutes and it comes out hot.

The board
Everything on the counter, in the order you would read it above the till. Filter it down to your bit, or leave it on everything and read the lot. What things cost is on the board in the shop, so ring and you will be told before you set off.
What are you after?
Showing 12 of 12 on the board
Chicken burger
A fillet in a bun for anybody who would rather eat it one-handed than pick at a box. Off the bone and quick to get through.
Ask at the counter
Wings
Ordered by the number rather than the weight. Order a few more than you think you want; they never seem like enough afterwards.
Ask at the counter
Chicken strips
Off the bone and quicker to get through than pieces. The easy answer if there is a child in the car who will not wait.
Ask at the counter
Legendary wedges
Cut thicker than chips, so they hold their heat all the way home. Crisp on the outside, floury in the middle. Order them even if you were not going to.
Ask at the counter
Chips
A proper portion, for anybody who wants chips and not wedges. Straightforward, and there is no shame in it.
Ask at the counter
Jacket potatoes
The lighter end of the board, for anyone not after a fryer at dinner time. Filled and hot from the counter.
Ask at the counter
Sandwiches
Made to order, for the walk back or a quicker lunch. Ask what is on when you come in.
Ask at the counter
Carrot cake
Proper carrot cake, for after. There is not always a lot of it, so ask what is left when you order.
Ask at the counter
Pizzas
There are pizzas on the board as well, for the ones in the house who will not touch chicken. Ask what goes on them at the counter.
Ask at the counter
Cans of pop
Cold cans out of the fridge to carry home with the box. The usual names.
Ask at the counter
Bottled water
For anyone who wants something plainer alongside the wedges. Also cold, also from the fridge.
