About Chunky Chicken
Chunky Chicken is a fast food restaurant in Bury, at 36 Walmersley Rd, with a menu built around chicken. The owners say they pioneered the Peri-Peri burger and wrap, and both appear on the menu, with the Inferno burger alongside them. Chicken platters are served with rice or chips, and the menu also lists pizza for anyone not ordering chicken. The kitchen works from fresh ingredients, and the team follows a house motto of serving what it eats. Hot wings with chips round out the range.

Customer Review Summary
Regulars return mainly for the peri burger, one ordering it with cheese and extra mayo, and the peri fries, praised for their crispiness and balanced seasoning. Close behind are the uzi and inferno burgers, which one reviewer recommends, plus crunchy chips and hot wings, though another finds the burger and wings not very juicy. Several describe friendly front desk staff and low prices for the quality, and a few say standards have held up over years of visits. The complaints are specific. Two reviewers found the peri chicken and a chicken platter with rice hard and chewy, one comparing it to rubber, and others report hard or cold chips. Two say collection orders were not ready at the given time, with one waiting at the counter for a further stretch, and one describes being ignored on several visits while staff served other customers. One diner who moved out of the area still makes the journey back, where staff know them by first name.

“My favourite takeaway in bury. The peri fries are absolutely delicious, with the perfect balance of crispiness and peri seasoning. The peri burger is equally tasty, packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. What really stands out is the friendly front desk staff, who provide excellent customer service and make every visit enjoyable. A great place for both amazing food and a pleasant dining experience.”

“My issue isn't the food...it's the service! Over the years, each time we've made an "food to collect order" and then gone to pick it up at the given time, its never ever been ready, in fact that's when they start making it... Another issue I've had is, couple of times we've walked in to make an order, we've stood there for ages and the server completely ignored my husband, not once! But a few times! His boss or whoever kept telling him to serve other customers, and ignored us completely! Knowing we've been stood there for such a long time! So rude ignorant and disrespectful. So stopped ordering from here, shame, because the foods decent, They just need to improve their service.”

“Been going to chunky chicken for years moved out of the area but still do the journey for the fresh delicious food. The staff are welcome and friendly. They know me by first Name basis. Would recommend anybody to go and try the food.”

“I ordered several burgers, but the chips were absolutely unacceptable. They tasted as though they’d been cooked in dirty, overused oil and were hard, stale, and completely inedible. The packaging proudly claims they “eat what they serve” — if that’s true, they should try eating these chips themselves. The food quality was far below any acceptable standard. I believe this is something the Food Standards Agency should be aware of. I will not be ordering from here again and would not recommend it to others.”
