"Patty and Bun, our oh-so-familiar Sunday sofa BFFs, have launched Sidechick - a rotisserie chicken and sides takeaway and delivery service. The chicken comes in three marinades - lemon, butter, and herbs, za’atar, and piri piri - along with sides like crispy potatoes and smoky aubergine with labneh. It sounds good because it is good." - oliver feldman, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak

"Because of ‘the bad bug’ your child is missing a lot of things. Their friends, their favourite teacher, other family members, most of all, Nando’s. We’re joking, but when your offspring has started looking at you like chicken nuggets are a personal offence, turn to Sidechick At Home. This chicken side project by the people behind Patty and Bun, delivers top chicken to your door, prepped and ready for the oven. You can pick between za’atar, butter and herb, or piri piri marinades, with plenty of sides available too. There’s minimal prep required but it’s the instruction to ‘tear the chicken with your paws and dunk it into the dipping sauces!’ that will get your little ones excited. Maybe just make sure you’re stocked up on Vanish. Please note that Sidechick is currently only delivering within the M25." - heidi lauth beasley

"Delivery and collection from Hackney and White City. Sidechick is an offshoot of the Patty & Bun brand and we can safely say it’s one of the best takeaways you can get in London. Their thing is, quite simply, roast chicken. And when roast chicken is juicy and crispy and bone-suckingly good, like it is here, it’s simply one of the best things in the world. You can choose from three marinades - za’atar with garlic honey and lemon is our favourite - and pair with crispy potatoes, salads, or smoky aubergine with labneh. It’s available for delivery and takeaway in Hackney, or from P&B in White City." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak

Love my wings, especially wing stop, so been waiting a while to try Slim's. Was disappointed to say the least. Chicken wings were crispy, fab! However the sauces were really tasteless, and the buffalo sauce tasted way too vinegary. Fries were really good and garlic toast was tasty, but was there for the chicken and it wasn't the best I've had, no way near. Service was very good and genuine.

I had a great experience at Slim Chickens recently. The staff was super friendly, especially Lakshmi, who really stood out with her great customer service. She made sure we had everything we needed and was just really kind throughout. We ordered the 5 wings and 5 tenders combo, and the food was amazing. The wings were crispy, the tenders were juicy, and the fries came in a good portion. The garlic bread was a nice touch too—perfectly toasted and tasty. Overall, great food and awesome service. Definitely going back!

The food is good but found it towards prices. My son had the burger and I went for the chicken tenders. Well done and tasty.

I’ve tried their chicken burger and fried wings. The chicken burger was disappointing, the portion was small, and the chicken itself was quite dry. However, the fried wings were tasty and fresh. The bottomless drinks were a letdown. It seemed like they weren't replenished properly, as every time I went for a refill, the drinks tasted mostly like water.

SÓ YUM OMG. The ambience at slim chickens is simply unmatched in not only the brunswick centre, but all of lomdon, and not just all of london but all of england, and not just all of england but all of europe!!

Very good quality chicken. The cashiers were very nice and I appreciated the fast casual layout as an American. Came in late for for something to take back to the hotel. I appreciate them being open later than most places as this London location is a fantastic walking area. The sauces were fantastic. As an American I'm comparing them to some of our Chicken places and they are very good. Not excellent but well deserving of your late night patronage.

Slim Chickens is a relatively new franchise that entered a very competitive fast food market in London. Their main slogan is "Life changing chicken". Being a student in London and coming here almost every week when I`m studying, I can say that it indeed lives up to the slogan and here is why: First of all, the atmosphere of this place is very nice and cozy. The place is made in American old-school style. The combination of color decisions on the wall, seating and tables make you feel relaxed and comfortable. The music is mostly smooth jazz which once again underlines the classic American feeling to it. Customer service is good overall. The staff is very charming and helpful, they know everything about their products. If you decide to eat in, they will give you a table number and will bring your food right to your table. They offer a free refill on their soft drinks and have a variety of beer and milkshakes. Next to the counter, there is a station where you can help yourself with forks, napkins, and even wet-wipes, which is unusual for a fast food place to offer them completely free. Tables are mostly clean, when it gets busy, you can always ask a member of staff to clean your table and they would do it for you. The food is served very fast. There is a good variety of food. From burgers and tenders to salads and sweets. SlimChikens tenders are not what you probably assume them to be. Somehow they managed to reimagine a regular chicken tender into a juicy, crispy piece of chicken which is full of flavor. Their tender meal is served with a big amount of fries and very soft garlic toast. They have a big variety of sauces which come free as the part of your meal and they also play an important role in how this place is changing the fried chicken game. Overall, me being a student, I come to this place at least once a week when I`m studying. The location is perfect as it is right in the centre of London, next to Bond Street Station and Selfridges shop (which means that if there is a shock drop of yeezys, you can get there in less than a minute to get your big drip or make a check). The value for money is as good as it gets as you are getting the top quality chicken for a price of generic fast food place. This is a life changing chicken and it ranks on the top of my personal rating of fast food restaurants in London.

Really quite passable chicken place. Tenders and wings are both good, although many of the sauces are a bit undifferentiated ( was that bled cheese or ranch or something else entirely). Fries are good( but unexceptional).The bottomless sodas as part of the meals could benefit from bigger cups otherwise there's the risk of it being less bottomless, more three-sips-and-back-to-the-machine.

Slim Chickens take a relatively simple dish and do it really, really well. Southern US style fried chicken and chips with a range of home made sauces to choose from. Batter is crispy on the outside and the chicken perfectly cooked and moist on the inside. Everything is cooked to order but never more than 5min wait. Always one of my go to places now when in London! Great for a quick lunch stop when shopping nearby.

Love this place. The best chicken in London. Relaxed atmosphere and right in the heart of central london. Price really reasonable too.

What a pleasant surprise! We were starving after several miles of walking in London and stopped in because we saw one empty table that could seat the five of us and we wanted something fast. We loved it! The very reasonably priced chicken sandwiches and salads were delicious. The salad greens were fresh and crisp topped with perfectly cooked juicy chicken breast and did I mention that they were huge. The chicken sandwiches, again, were perfectly cooked, tender, juicy and served on really fresh rolls with very tasty fries. Friendly service, clean restaurant, centrally located in the heart of London.
