Having had a good fast-food lunch in the Birmingham Slim Chickens, we were keen to try the Crawley one. But we won't be in there again. Having paid £14 for a chicken burger, chips and drink meal, you'd expect something decent. However, the burger was kind of soggy-feeling and the chips were very over-salted. The drink was alright but that just says the drinks machine supplier had done their job well. With McDonalds as a junk fast-food baseline, you'd expect something a considerable notch up from that for what's about double the price. Very let done, won't be going again. The restaurant itself, a high room with no false ceiling, has no atmosphere so there's nothing to pull anyone in on any front.

What great service And the food is absolutely superb. All fresh and cooked just right. Pity we don’t have one of these in Shrewsbury. Wipes spots off KFC and will always use these in future when travelling. Fantastic

We stopped by before our cinema trip. The kids really enjoyed their chicken meals and timings were spot on. Next time we book for the cinema we’ll definitely be stopping by again.

Well what can I say if you have a nice healthy bank balance this is the place to go so overpriced for what it is Hardly any selection for food for example chicken tenders a wrap and two burgers The place is not warm or inviting and to pay so much expense they had toilet roll as napkins on the table Tried it once never again better places and better prices around

Having been to another slim chickens in London, we tried the Crawley one. Food is fine, it is what it is fried chicken tasty fast food, great variety of dips, nice fries, and we enjoy the garlic bread too, with the combo meal. The environment and atmosphere is slightly dead. The place doesn’t seem completely clean, which sticky flooring and table tops. The staff are friendly, but the place looks tired and it’s not been in Crawley long. A major competitor is coming across the road soon, my firm favourite. I hope Slim chickens ups their game. Simple changes would help encourage more custom, thoroughly cleaning the restaurant including the toilets, which on occasions have been poor. Placing napkins on the tables rather than kitchen roll, (it looks awful, and gets sticky from others not very hygienic) music on rather than sport depending on time of day. The screen can be pointless causing unnecessary distraction. Updating the booths as already the look tatty and tired, it’s a favourite place to sit for a lot of people, let them enjoy that.

Was expecting so much! Walked in to a dirty disorganised mess. Cleaned my table and seat and waited for food. Should have taken it as a message and left, the food was awful. Ordered wings ate two,only ate the second one to see if the first one was really that bad, it was. No taste of chicken at all just a spongey soggy mess inside a fairly tasteless coating. Don’t bother going

Bad customer service! Even the delivery service they using is the worst Uber Eats! Avoid avoid avoid! I have just lost £30 and I never got my food! I will never buy from this restaurant ever again

Completely underwhelmed by this place. The staff were fine, but the food was very, very average. The coating on the chicken was so salty it was almost inedible. From the outside it looked like it was going to be a proper restaurant rather than a take away joint. There's nothing new here and, for what it was, it's very expensive. We were curious to try it, but won't be returning.

Very busy time, it was packed. However, food was very prompt and nice. Staff were friendly and the place was very clean. I was impressed with the staff, good service.

This was the first time we visited here, and I can say we were pleasantly surprised. The quality of the food was excellent and quite big portions. I would recommend a visit here.

Food was overpriced, very bland, restaurant was dirty. They didn’t clean the tables or floor. Food took a long time and they got the order wrong. The chicken was tasteless. Would rather spend less and go to KFC!

I’m not one to easily leave reviews but felt I had to on this occasion. My first at Slim Chickens Crawley and my last. If It were possible to give zero stars then that’s what I would give, that’s how awful it was for me. It’s got to be the worst fast food restaurant I’ve ever been to. Firstly, upon entering the restaurant, areas of the floor were slippery under foot – that was a glue to the type of food that was going to be served! Secondly, expensive, one Classic Chicken Sandwich, a 500ml bottle of still water and a honey mustard sauce, eat in, cost me £8.45 . Hot drinks not available, Thirdly, the chicken breast was mega greasy, so much so it had completely saturated the burger bun and the salad. I left the bun and the salad as they were inedible but decided to persevere with the greasy chicken. I wish I hadn’t as it left me with a horrible greasy taste on my palate and later on in the evening it went on to give me indigestion. My friend ordered the sandwich with cheese, fries and a coke and it cost her £11 90 with her experience being the same. She also said her fries were very salty and inedible I am fully aware that generally fast food restaurants are not particularly healthy but Slim Chickens give you an extra layer of unhealthy grease and salt, to boot. We live and learn. I can’t recommend this food, go somewhere else to eat.

This has to be the worst ‘fast food’ restaurant I have ever been to. The chicken was tough the fries were refried so not fresh and the restaurant was disgusting. Every table was sticky and there were tables with mess in for the entirety of our visit. Do not go there if you are expecting value for money or good tasting food.

My first time at Slim Chickens and I was really happy with the quality of the food and how quickly it came out . We were served by a lovely polite friendly young lady called Grace who was extremely helpful about the menu abd questions I asked. I will certainly come again

been twice now, once eat in and once takeaway, Both times the food (tenders, burger and fries) have been delicious and hot. The staff are friendly, and the food was fast. the chicken is real chicken and not greasy or dry, the chips are nice. The sauces are great, nice to get two included in a five tender meal, the best so far has been the garlic cheese dip. Will definitely go again,

My kids were very excited to visit this recently opened branch of Slim Chickens in Crawley. It was awful. Overpriced (£60 for the four of us to have a standard burger meal with fries and a drink) and when it arrived the chicken was stone cold in the burger and the fries were barely warm. Drinks were very good. When we complained the manager explained everything is cooked to order and temperature checked before it leaves the kitchen- over his shoulder we saw the kitchen in operation. There was a large tub of chicken tenders which staff grabbed from the tub with bare hands and arranged in serving baskets with chips to serve to customers. Will not be returning.

My wife went to Starbucks car park, Southgate Park, Stansted Airport to get a coffee as my flight got delayed. She parked at Starbucks car park for 26 min, but Starbucks was already closed that time. MET Parking services sent parking charge notice as she was not considered a customer as Starbucks was closed. The parking fee notice board clearly says 60 min free for customers. She did not know that once Starbucks closed, she had to pay from the minute she parked. Be careful, MET Parking Services must have raised millions from people simply displaying misleading information.

To put it bluntly Yes it is that BAD!. Used to be called Chiana Peking & when it failed they rebranded it Mings. Greasy unpleasant food. zero manners from manager when things go wrong. Ordered a sweet & sour battered chicken, it to arrive with no Sweet & sour sauce? only to be told you have to pay for the sauce extra Yes Really!.

I ordered for my lunch break at work, I ordered 1.5 hours in advance an booked a delivery time as I only get 30mins for lunch. The restraunt accepted the order an verified the time slot. 5 mins before my lunch break they decided to cancel my order, leaving me working a 12 hour shift without food or time to make any other sort of order.... (they didn't even bother to call an give me a heads up), I only noticed the email once the time slot had actually passed, my food was late, a 3rd of my break already gone. So I was looking for the receipt so I could get the number to check where my food is an that's when I found the email informing me it's not coming 😔 I understand stuff happens but not to call an let me know 🤔 I think that's just awful way to treat customers who's bookings an money you already accepted, they did issue a refund but it's not the point here.

To start with, the original staff member i encountered was extremely difficult to understand prices for deals etc until a colleague assisted. I then found that the usual garlic and her dip had bow been swapped with the basic marinara sauce but in a sealed pot! The part that is the real cherry on the top is that whilst eating my pizza i find on a slice a hair from a dark haired person and then have to remove and waste this slice!

I forgot to write a review and I just remembered as I was going through my wallet and saw the Jamie's Coffee Lounge review card. I went to Gatwick last year, I think it was August or September time. I had a nice pesto and mozzarella sandwich, I think, my mom had a coffee. Our staff that day were Kristina and Lucia, many thanks to them for a nice service and their positive attitude, very much appreciated. My sandwich was delicious and my mom enjoyed her coffee. All is good despite the prices, good old London haha.
