Diners appreciate the tasty, less greasy options than competitors like KFC, with standout items including chicken fillet burgers and spicy BBQ chicken. However, service can be lukewarm; staff engagement varies, leaving some customers feeling overlooked. While efficiency is lacking during busy periods, the food quality often shines through. Overall, Chicken Cottage provides satisfying meals at wallet-friendly prices, making it a recognizable stop for a quick bite before catching a show.
Is this what society has become? Being barked at for your order by an assistant, who is as rude as the long line of customers. ‘Five or eight?’ they snap at me, not bothering with any other words to make the enquiry any clearer. A receipt is produced and a nod of a head to tell me to move away and stand somewhere else. The food arrives in a free-for-all flurry of trays and the search begins for a table free from the debris of the last diner. The fries are potato-less, hollow crisps, but the chicken is good. Is this the way we want our society to be? I’m not looking for fine dining, I’m not looking for silver service, but a little respect and courtesy would be nice.
I'm a big fan of fast food, especially fried chicken. So on my last visit to the Lowry i visited Chicken Cottage. The member of staff was really polite and helped answer a few questions as it was my first time here. The service was quick, efficient and polite. The food was Really Good and the fries were to die for!! They had a crispy, crunchy exterior that i has not come across before in a fast food place, i just had to go back for more. I urge any other chicken lover to try chicken cottage if ever in the Lowry and do ask for a large portion of their fries.
I like this place- its a quick needed fix and serves it's purpose perfectly. Its fast and quick and the food is always on point! I like to grab a quick bite here before going to the cinema sometimes- (or take it into the cinema hehe). The BBQ chicken strips are perfect and they always put in a couple more! Great staff.
Went here before going to a show in the lowry. I wouldn't really call it fast food as we waited ages, as did others. Hubby and I ordered the wrap meals at £4.99 for a wrap, few fries and a drink. 5 people behind the counter with one on the till and one getting the food ready, others just nattering whilst people were waiting to be served. The lad serving.....well not the happiest of people, not even a please or thank you. food quite average, but you get what you pay for. won't be returning.
After the imperial war museum we walked over to the Lowry outlet mall to take a short break to eat alittle something. We stumbled into the food court and well....chicken is always good. . The 3 pieces of 'hot spicy chicken ' for 1,99 the onion rings (i think were 1,69 or so and 10 pieces..perfect! . were i must say...hot from temperature and spicy ' GOOD! The onions rings freshly fried. Crispy and perfectly hot! We were very surprised but glad that our snack was yummy. Sorry no picture. Just forgot because they looked delicious.
