Chicken was bland and tough. Dips ok , milkshakes great. I will not eat here again once I found out all meat in every UK restaurant is Halal certified. I'm not a religious person. Restaurants should... See more

Sona was great.
Very attentive and even took the high chair to the table for me!
I had a discount voucher and she applied it easily with no stress or questions.
Food was nice, would come again x
Absolutely delicious food
Absolutely delicious food. Chicken is always fresh. We're very naughty and eat here far too often 🤦♀️ The staff at the Colchester store are so friendly and helpful. The stamp scheme is better than any other fast food place out there. It's worth downloading the app to get the deals!
John Reed & Rachael are the most rudest…
John Reed & Rachael are the most rudest restaurant manager I have ever come across.
I dine all over the UK and overseas for business and pleasure and John has to be the unwelcoming person with so much arrogance and ego that I would never return.
He doesn’t want to deal with customer feedback because as he stressed it’s too much to deal with.
Why do Slim Chickens Bluewater employ unprofessional personnel who lack customer service skills and tells his customers to go elsewhere.

Great service by Ash
Great service by Ash, in the Staines store. Chicken was slightly overcooked and quite oily… however great hospitality but food could’ve been better at that price.

Good experience, the food came on time and very quick.

I won’t be hurrying back
It’s a 1 because the quality at that price should be high. Chicken in the burger was overcooked and bland. Not sure how bland it was because it was drowning in not great BBQ sauce and there was no crunch to the coating. Disappointing soggy toast and drinks dispensers only had diet drinks
Grace was a helpful
Grace was a helpful, lovely server. Loved the food. Will be back soon.

Use to be great, now one to avoid
I used to be a huge fan of Slims Chickens when it first opened and would normally order at least twice a month. Unfortunately, over the past few months the quality and service have declined so much that I feel I need to share my experience.
Most of my orders have been through Deliveroo, although I have also visited the restaurant in person. When eating in, things generally seem much better, but delivery orders have repeatedly gone wrong.
The problems started around November when I was sent normal wings instead of hot wings, along with chips that were cold and undercooked.
The first major issue was in December 2025. I ordered two meals with hot wings but didn’t receive any wings at all. On top of that the chips were cold and soggy and completely inedible. Deliveroo gave a small credit, which didn’t really cover the problem, so I left a negative review. Slims Chickens replied publicly to the review saying they were sorry and that a voucher had been attached so I could try them again. However, no voucher was ever sent. I tried contacting both Deliveroo and Slims to find out where it was, but never received any response.
After a short break I decided to give them another chance, but another order in February also went wrong. I ordered three meals but only two arrived, and most of the chips were stone cold again. The food quality and portion sizes also seemed noticeably worse. The hot wings were much smaller than they used to be and looked like normal wings that had seasoning thrown on at the last minute. The large chips I paid for looked more like a regular portion. Previously the boxes used to be packed so full the lid barely closed, now they feel half empty.
Last night’s order was the final straw. Once again the chips were cold and the “large” portion was clearly a regular. The wings again looked like normal wings with some spice added at the last minute rather than properly coated like they used to be. The taste also seemed off. At the time I thought it was just poor preparation, but the next day I ended up with stomach issues, which makes me question whether the food was fresh or properly cooked.
While writing this I checked my Deliveroo account and was shocked to see how much I’ve spent there over the past few months — around £700 through the app and roughly another £200 in store. I genuinely used to enjoy Slims Chickens, which is why this has been so disappointing.
Sadly, after repeated issues with cold food, missing items, smaller portions and declining quality, I won’t be ordering again. It’s frustrating to see what used to be a really good place go downhill like this.
Amazing service and friendly staff…
Amazing service and friendly staff brilliant food just the best I recommend slim chicken
Cheshire Oaks store fantastic staff team.
I love coming here, the staff with no exceptions greet you, offer help, keep restaurant and toilets clean .
The food is hot, fresh and so so tasty, the variety of sauces is amazing, not try all of them yet!!!!
Don't get the hype tbh
Don't get the hype tbh. Had it a twice recently. Had been wanting to try for a while now. I had the plant based strips meal yesterday and today I had the veggie buffalo burger and fries meal both times everything had arrived stone cold. Won't order again :(
The food wasn't great
The food wasn't great. Went with my daughter and two grandchildren as a special treat. The hot chicken wings were coated in a dry unpleasant coating, searingly hot yet lacking any flavour. The meat was not high quality and did not fall off the bone. The chicken tenders were small and average. McDonald's selects are far, far superior. Fries were the best thing. Texas toast looked nothing like it's pictures and didn't live up to the hype.
We chose the gravy mayo sauce, just a murky salty cheap mayonnaise. The other sauces were of the same ilk. Wouldn't waste money on a return visit
Saved My £2500 Worth of Belongings!
I want to sincerely praise the team at the Trafford Centre location, especially the manager (the bearded gentleman).
We hadn’t even eaten there — we were just sitting at one of their tables — and I accidentally left my backpack behind. It contained around £2500 worth of belongings, including my MacBook and wallet. When I realised and rushed back, I was convinced it would be gone.
To my huge relief, the manager at the Trafford Centre branch immediately recognised me and returned my bag with everything safe inside. Absolute gentleman.
Honesty and integrity like this are rare these days, and it truly speaks volumes about the team there. Thank you again — I’m extremely grateful.

Awful service and communication
