'Crawley has absolutely taken us by storm' - Slim Chickens manager delighted at opening in town as they run out of chicken

The new restaurant opened at Crawley Leisure Park yesterday (Thursday, April 27) and patrons could not wait to get a taste of the food. Manager Ben Barnes said the staff were put through their paces. “All the way from 10am – we were originally due to open at 11am – until 8pm we had a queue outside the door,” he said. “With us being a new business to the area we set our expectations including a buffer and the people of Crawley turned up and certainly put us through our paces.

“We had a hugely successful day, and the guests were able to try all the items on the menu that took their fancy, with great feedback from guests, friends, family, and visitors to the town. Luckily, we have had a delivery today, so we'll be back open at 11am as normal and resume normal trading hours.

“Crawley has absolutely taken us by storm, and we're excited to have opened during a bank holiday weekend, where everyone will get the chance to come down, see us and more importantly try our infamous chicken.”
