Starting out almost 40 years ago in Luton, the business has grown in recent years, with its Hitchin shop becoming increasingly popular, with tasty chicken strips, wings and burgers attracting plenty of customers.

Chicken George also fed the England football team during Euro 2020, as the Three Lions reached the final before losing to Italy on penalties, and the Sacarcens rugby team.
