Quick info
About Chicken Inn
On Portland St in Cheltenham, Chicken Inn is a fish and chips takeaway that cooks each order of fish only once a customer arrives. The wider menu covers pies, Southern fried fillets, chicken curry, chicken burgers, and gyros, with the gyros finished with sauces, herbs, and spices added to order. Chicken curry served with rice and chips has stayed on the menu for a long stretch, and curry sauce is offered alongside meals. A food thermometer is used during preparation. The shop takes walk-in orders only, with no reservation process. It sits on the high street, with a view of the buses passing outside, and classical music plays over the counter at certain times of day.

Customer Review Summary
Chicken curry with rice and chips is the dish reviewers raise most, described as full to the brim and just as good as they remember after years on the menu. Fish and chips comes close behind, with reviewers praising a huge portion cooked to order. A few also mention Southern fried fillets and a gyros that turned into a full meal. Staff are repeatedly called friendly, and one reviewer describes the shop as spotless. The main complaint comes from two reviewers who received cold, hard chips. One also got rock hard battered sausages. The other got a chicken burger with no chicken and pure batter, and was offered no replacement or refund. Both still named the curry sauce as the best part of the meal. One happier diner was given leftover chicken curry for free.

“Service was great to start with very friendly! However after receiving food, was cold, hard chips and a chicken burger with no chicken and pure batter. Nothing they would do to replace or refund. Curry sauce was the best of the meal by far.”
