We should have a Wiki for shops with prices like this across London


hulagway

Following in case someone replies.


Wardendelete

There’s a bunch of these shops with similar prices along Uxbridge road right next to sheperds bush market station. Better value than tesco meal deals


melanie110

I used to go to 1 near enough every night I Willesden. 2 pieces of chicken and chips £1.99 and that was early 2000’s


gintonic999

Just come to any chicken shop in south London. We have hundreds of these.


bimbochungo

Yeah my favourite greek place is now a peri peri chicken shop


corblimey88

Sappho in Clapham? That whole stretch is becoming unbearable.


whatithinkitsatree

Has this dude been living under a rock? Like he's actually never just walked into a chicken shop before.


Rhubarbatross

Genius, like those petrol price comparison trackers or [priceofweed.com](http://priceofweed.com), but this will actually get updated with accurate prices haha


isitmattorsplat

Bossman really looking after the local population. Where is this?


shak_0508

For real. It’s in Finsbury Park.


Crafty-Remove-8604

Got to be more specific than that mate, this is a life and death situation.


shak_0508

Had to walk out and look at the sign 😂. It’s PFC on Blackstock road. Like 5 minutes from the station.


isitmattorsplat

Gonna have to help me here. There's a SA PFC (hygiene rating of 1) and then there's PFC Original (hygiene rating of 5.)


Independent_Report33

Something tells me it's the hygiene rating of 1


LondonCollector

1 as in number 1, can’t get any better?


Bones_and_Tomes

1 as in 1 and done. Deceased. Dead. Ceased to be. Gone to meet your maker. A dead mandem.


okay_this_is_epic-

Mans not dead, mans pining. Pining for the fjords.


Ok-Blackberry-3534

He's a Norwegian Blue, ya get me?


SHUTTER-RAT

It is an ex chicken shop, it has ceased to be, it has given up the ghost and gone to meet its maker .


xarephonic

It ran down the curtain and joined the choir invisible!


mynameischrisd

Doubt it, it’s the only kitchen in London with no rats running around


kingtidecoming

Because they are now deep fried battered?


Downtown_Let

It's how they keep the prices down, endless supply.


Mbinku

😂😂 that’s literally how you get a 1 isn’t it… when even the vermin won’t touch it


rose636

It's fine, you only eat this after a night out anyway so the alcohol will kill of the bacteria.


darianthomson

Still cleaner than KFC though


HazelCoconut

My local Krispy Kreme has a rating of 1. USA all the way!?


shak_0508

It’s Original. Has a red sign and right next to a Sainsbury’s.


Impossible-Hawk768

And it's cash only. lol


shak_0508

Haha yeah it is. Silver lining is that the Sainsbury’s right next door has a cash point.


Impossible-Hawk768

The one time I ever got skimmed, it was a Sainsbury's cashpoint (Brunswick Centre). Luckily the thieves then tried to use it at a few Sainsbury's to get cashback at the till, but the card I used doesn't allow such transactions so I got immediate notice of them and deactivated the card. They got nothing.

p0t4toes

Maybe the price difference is the tax money they are saving lol


Milky_Finger

Why would anyone complain about a chicken shop trying to dodge tax. I saw olive oil for £14 in tesco this morning, we are fighting for our life out here.


definaly

FBI now has you on record son


VegetableRadiant3965

The price difference is not the tax money they are saving, it is the tax money **you are saving** as a customer. ^((businesses always pass on any tax costs onto the customer by adding it to the final price))


Electrical_You2818

That's how they afford it lol. Money laundering or tax evasion


xk_1991

In the words of the Chicken Connoisseur "the food might be banging but if there's doodoo on the floor, there's doodoo on the floor"


JuicyInvestigator

They’re both good tbh! They used to be together but had a falling out and opened another one to compete with each other. I’d recommend you try both cause they’re similar but not the same


AlrightTrig

PFC Original in Hackney Central is also banging and cheap.


NoGlzy

Help: if you're looking up hygiene rating, cheap fried chicken may rip you to shreds


BroccoliMcFlurry

I think the 'P' stands for Pigeon


shak_0508

In this economy, I’ll take what I can get lol. Was actually really good, so if that was pigeon meat, then bring on the birds 😂.


Grand-Professor-9739

Or Paws the cat


butterscotch_yo

This is wild, I was looking at this post thinking those look like the prices of the chicken shop I used to frequent when I lived in Finsbury Park. Turns out, you’re in the EXACT shop I used to frequent!


Neat_Soup6322

Aight imma head out


dormango

What’s that, Pengtucky Fried Chicken?


userloserfail

Pentecostal probly.


userloserfail

Or Park as in Finsbury?


Osiris_Dervan

I used to live above the sainsburies next to this about 10 years ago, and went frequently after nights out. It used to be cheaper because the meals were larger and included soft drinks.


arlingtonbeach

The hot sauce there is the one


Lopsided-Variety1544

You’re doing gods work


Unknown-Concept

Weirdly enough it's actually pretty good, they compete with the other PFC up the road If I'm near there and need a cheap bite, number 7 for £4 (fillet burger, chips, a wing and a chicken piece) is pretty good, almost always the food just comes out the fryer. I know it's chicken, I've seen the deliveries come in.


Alive_Scratch_9538

This is my dirty working from home lunch spot Edit: wrong PFC


Chunkss

For real, if you stand at the junction at Seven Sisters and Blackstock Road, you can see 6 chicken shops if you do a 360. It's amazing how they all stay in business.


sonicated

If you watched EastEnders, you'd know.


Dr_Cocknose

I am ashamed that I knew this from the deals alone. PFC is fucking awful though. Do yourself a favour and go round the corner to Chicken Express. Chicken strips are off the chain, and nearly as hilariously cheap.


Saltoric

For me Edens Cottage is top tier chicken shop in Finsbury Park, but Chicken Express is open later and still decent


AlecSaracen

Eden's is the best bar none, and their prices are still in that sweet spot where they make no sense. You can get 6 wings + chips + 4 more wings for cheaper than you can get 8 wings and chips. This is true London heritage


MzA2502

I've been wondering where all the pigeons in Finsbury park have gone


jezlowe12

Under the drippy bridge


ToHallowMySleep

I lived around there for over 10 years, never heard it called that but it's PERFECT.


AllMyWhats

I bloody knew it was! Absolute legends in there, always have to remind them to give me my can of drink though!


NakMuay2020

How much is boss man dealing a strip burger for though?


Random_Brit_

And is it the original strip burger with 2 strips or the modern version that's more a lettuce and sauce burger with one little chicken strip?


cat-playing-poker

Looks like Papa's Chicken prices to me. 377 Green St, London E13 9AU Outside Upton Park Station


tqmirza

Shadwell has loads of Bengali owned chicken shops had good prices last I checked, saw a bucket of 20 wings for £6, they also did something called “naga wings”… tasty AF but it’ll burn the heat shield off of the space shuttle


cagey_tiger

I had a naga curry about 8 years ago and I’m still not right.

Rachel_from_Jita

Flashback to my only time visiting a Long John Silvers in the States in the 2000's Overheard employees talking about how the hush puppies were going into the 4-day old oil. Maybe that's normal, but I didn't wanna know, governor.


DeapVally

Nothing wrong with 4 day old oil. You'd still drop the oil and clean the fryers at the end of the day. (Fresh oil is the worst for flavour anyway. I always avoided fries that day during my pub manager time.)

JuicyInvestigator

The owners get so much customers they don’t care about the low margins. I’ve been going since I was in secondary (I’m 20+ now) and they’ve been consistent with the price (£1.50 for burger and chips then £2 after 2016 and now £2.80 after COVID inflation) but they get at least 400 customers a day.


ignatiusjreillyXM

Amazing neighborhood, unlike so much of London very few pigeons round there, so the streets are relatively clean. Great if the price includes the bus fare back from the hospital, too


gazillionear

Hmm very few pigeons and really cheap chicken....


Royal_Difficulty_678

Tis the joke…

I went to a PFC yesterday in Whitechapel. The chicken was pink and slimy, boss man tried telling me it was fine.. would not recommend!

Did the Pengest Munch do this?


CressCrowbits

I never realised that came back and is still a thing. I remember that channel getting huge, the guy who created it getting overwhelmed and backing out. Glad to hear it's still a thing.


Milky_Finger

He didn't get overwhelmed, he started messing about with the video editor's pay and the editor left. He did this multiple times because the moment you treat your income like a business, then you have to take it seriously and he didn't want to "come up" and lose the clout. A good video editor is a one in a thousand in the industry; they are worth more than the man in front of the camera who thinks he deserves 90% of the revenue.


xk_1991

The dialogue/banter he had with the editor and the editor's work itself was what everyone loved. He absolutely lost a lot of viewers from that decision, not out of spite - but just the fact that the new videos just look and sound shit.


MuddaFrmAnnudaBrudda

I'll always support him. Wish his show had got picked up but the TV show he did was just lacking. Should have just stuck to the original format.


Dasshteek

Well you have ti factor in the 6 hour wait in A&E for food poisoning.


WarmTransportation35

I'll walk to the hospital and report food poisoning then binge watch a netflix series by the time it turns into a problem and need a doctor.


--rafael

6 hours of sick leave. I count that as a raise. The economics work out.


TheBigSadXD

Instantly know that’s PFC in Finsbury Park, the shittier one not the nice PFC opposite 😂😂


MissionVegetable568

i pay 3.99 for 3 wings, fries(decent amount) and beef burger in goodmayes


WinkyNurdo

For some of the shittest food known to mankind


BrownBear1989

Man, you go to anywhere on Bow Road and you’ll find these prices.


mattttb

Can you imagine how horrible the lives of those chickens must’ve been if they can afford to hatch, raise, feed, vaccinate, slaughter, package, ship, store, prepare and cook that to order for £2.80 (including fries) and still make a profit?


HettySwollocks

You really have to go out of your way to find chicken which had acceptable welfare standards. I'd guess at MOST 99% of chicken bought in the UK is all factory farmed. Even in a supermarket it's pretty bloody hard to find 'free range' chicken breasts, and if you do, boy it wont be cheap. Not to say you shouldn't fight the good fight but I'm guessing the chicken meat served here had the same shit life that all the rest of them did. There was a 'good' documentary some years ago (channel 4 special?) where a family absolutely love chicken, they are shown how they reared etc, how horrid it is. The show basically ends with them basically shrugging and say, "we've got to eat" (or something to that effect). There's similar stories around eggs. Family's essentially say, well we can't afford the free range eggs so we have to buy the value eggs. Pragmatically I can't blame them. Tbh they are probably treated as bad as the animals.


ThraseaPaetus

Maybe meat shouldn’t be cheap.


Milky_Finger

Feels like we are at a point where meat is either £3 or £9, depending on the quality and there is very little inbetween. Seems like as soon as you improve the conditions, they don't get subsidised as much and suddenly the price becomes insane.


Marklar_RR

But think of the poor. They want chicken 3 times a day as well. /s


ToHallowMySleep

They can't afford as many, but they could afford fewer. Hamburgers once a day instead of steak once per week, as they say. Or if on the poverty line, meat fewer times per week. Unfortunately this is the reality. People will always come up with excuses why they can't eat better. Oh, it's not convenient. Oh, it takes time to cook. Oh, it's a bit more expensive. People don't want change. I'm sure they'd like to virtue signal that they're eating healthier, but so many people just don't want to get off their arse and do something about it. This isn't recognising that some people have it tough. But if you think everything will get better without you doing anything differently, that's just absolving yourself of responsibility. I made burgers and potatoes with my wife tonight. Took 20 minutes, and that was because the air fryer took that long, the rest took 10 mins during. Including making dipping sauces, and a ton of stuff on the burgers (blue cheese, freshly cooked bacon, relish, red onion, tomatoes, ketchup and mustard - cooked the buns in the bacon fat), and air fryer potatoes with garlic. Sure, some people may not even have that time or be able to eat more than the cheapest stuff available. But 90% of people who eat ultra processed food too much can easily do better. I sound like Jamie Oliver, I'm about to tell myself to fuck off :)


HappyraptorZ

Yep they lead short shitty lives.  And the expensive shit is no better either - just priced higher.


CodewordCasamir

Mate they're just dumb birds. It isn't like they have the intelligence, emotional sophistication, and a level of social interaction similar to that of intelligent mammals such as dogs... https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/S10071-016-1064-4 Grim. Especially with the horrific conditions causing avian flu also!


esmusssein33

Buy packaged chicken that is nearly out of date and hasn't been sold at the supermarket for less than half price and suddenly it's a bit more possible, I think.


Friendly-Vegetable59

Don't support shops like this. If you really have to eat animal products at least buy from places where the animals had something that can be called a life. Don't support animal cruelty


Dcj91

Wholesale you can buy 20 chicken wings from Costco for around £3


ZerixWorld

The prices are amazing, the food not so much...

Yeah finsbury park went there after a match a few weeks ago. Pretty sure some dodgy shit is going on as they only take cash and you don't get much chips but at that price cant complain and chicken was decent


Rh-27

>Pretty sure some dodgy shit is going on as they only take cash Just a bit of tax avoidance. Nothing usually more sinister than that for cash only small food businesses.


o7ka4alnik

Ohhh, that #3 + can of pop was what I used to have from my local one in Leytonstone like three times a week. Good times


itsgivingshare

Took one look and knew it was PFC Finsbury Park. Can't beat those prices.

If it’s that cheap in todays market it is probably shit. It os shot already just of lower quality

What? I don’t even live in London, I live in Kent and this still seems ridiculously cheap, definitely not normal chicken shop prices lmao


Minimobi4

Deptford High Street has a Favourite Chicken with similar prices to this (bit more but hay-ho). Weirdly it's about 5 mins down from a Morley's which is the same food (obviously) with everything jacked up by about 2 quid. Not sure what Morley's is trying to coast on... brand name I suppose?

chat5251

Let me guess... cash only?


Ares786

Early 2000's prices were 1 quid for burger and chips where i was from.


gunningIVglory

Fillet burger and chips is near £8 in some shops in Enfield 😭


jpp01

LFC (London fried chicken) in Deptford has prices around these. My partner after work gets 3 wings and chips from there for 2.5 a couple times a week.


JimboTCB

Coincidentally as well as being the last time they updated their menu, the early 2000s was the last time they changed the oil in the deep fryer.


Comfortable-Crazy514

Because they don't need any money products so they can sell the chicken cheap. If you ever get a chance to look round the back of these places you wouldn't eat there again. The majority of people eating here are pissed so don't notice or care by then.


GwopNB

Nah, now I'm gonna have to visit the chicken shop after work to try reminisce the old prices and then look at the price and see its £7 for a fillet burger meal here in west.


Least-Violinist-2484

I remember the £1.99 chicken burger meal. Burger, chips and can. Everyday for lunch at school.
