Chicken Hut

The city of Birmingham is a veritable cornucopia of generic, homogenous takeaways that are extremely difficult to tell apart from one another, to the extent where they may as well all become part of the same chain. The only real way to establish which are the cream of the crop and which are best left alone is by tasting their food, and I’ve taken it upon myself to systematically go through every greasy establishment available and rank them for you, dear reader. First, the basics: Chicken Hut has an unusual amount of seating inside, so you can very easily eat in as well as taking away. The prices are fantastic, with a donner kebab and chips costing a measly £1.50 (quite possibly the cheapest price I’ve seen in the entire city), and various family deals provide plenty of other bargains. The food tends to be slightly on the greasy side I’ve found, but sometimes that’s what you want, especially after a night out drinking. You can do a lot worse than Chicken Hut.

Cheap food at cheap prices. Expect a burger and chips or a piece of chicken and chips, smothered in hydrogenated fat. Expect plenty of 99p deals.
Eating from an establishment like this is never going to be good for your health. Yet on an occasion we all stumble into a place like this and eat their food. One of lifes’ many great enigma’s.
Chicken hut is extremely popular with local schoolchildren, spending their dinner money on food rather than waiting to get home for a nutritious home cooked meal. So if you are eating in here after the schools get kicked out, expect a long wait and plenty of ear piercing background noise. I personally tend to turn the volume to max on my Ipod in a situation like this.
You won’t come away from chicken hut with a dent in your wallet, but be warned, it may take a few days for the food to be fully digested from your system.
