Northfleet Fried Chicken

Northfleet Fried Chicken — NFC to the regulars — trades from the High Street in old Northfleet, the original cement-works town now part of the Ebbsfleet Garden City redevelopment running south from the river. The shop is one of the longer-running independent fried-chicken operations in the borough — the business has been open for around fifteen years — and the kitchen is set up to run high volume across both walk-in counter trade and the queue out of the door that the owners themselves flag as a fixture of the operation. The menu runs the standard independent fried-chicken format: wings (the 20-wing meal deal at around £9.99 is the regularly-cited order), strips, ribs, burgers, wraps and chicken-and-chip combos, with a sideline of pizzas and a peri-peri grilled-chicken section under the related NFC Peri brand. Service runs through Just Eat alongside direct counter and phone trade, with a Just Eat reviewer score in the 4-out-of-5 range across hundreds of orders. Hygiene rating from Gravesham food safety is on the FSA register. The owner has spoken publicly to Kent Online about repeated security incidents at the premises in recent years.
