Hot Chick - Kettering, Lower Street

Hot Chick has been shaking up Kettering's burger scene from their Lower Street base, bringing serious heat to the high street. This relative newcomer holds a perfect 5.0/6 from early Google reviews and a top-tier Food Hygiene Rating — a clean sweep that tells you they care about every detail. Locals already know them for bold, unapologetically spicy chicken that doesn't mess about.

Their signature heat comes from a secret blend of spices that coats juicy, buttermilk-soaked chicken, piled high in soft brioche buns. The Hot Chick burger is the headline act — think crispy, craggy coating giving way to tender meat, all balanced with cooling slaw and house sauce. They're doing smash-style beef burgers too, with that lovely lacy edge. Whether you're after a lunchtime hit or late-night feed, Hot Chick delivers proper kick without sacrificing flavour.
