Royal Chicken And Ribs

Royal Chicken and Ribs sits on the upper stretch of Loughton High Road near the Debden junction, serving the standard fried-chicken-shop menu of bone-in pieces, fillets, burgers, chips and wings. The chicken is described by reviewers as crispy-skinned and tender, the chips soft, and the chilli sauce a cut above the usual. The kitchen serves a largely young and local customer base, with online ordering through Just Eat and collection from the counter. High Road footfall is steady here, sitting within walking distance of Debden Underground station and the bus routes that serve the surrounding estates. For a quick and reasonably priced fried-chicken fix on the north side of Loughton town centre, the shop is a functional and reliable choice.
