About Hot Favourite
Hot Favourite is a chicken shop and fried chicken takeaway on Wood Lane in Dagenham, positioned opposite a bus stop and serving walk-in customers throughout the day. Reopened after a refurbishment and a change in management, the kitchen runs both fried and grilled chicken, with diners asked which cut of chicken they prefer when ordering. Delivery is available to the surrounding area, and the shop stays open into the late evening. Sauces and dips are sold as a paid extra.

“1 star food hygiene! Do not go unless you like getting the poops!”
- M Haq
“Very disappointing experience. The owners are Pakistani, and in my experience they appeared to give preferential treatment to Pakistani customers. I was already waiting in the queue, yet people who arrived after me were served first. Regardless of anyone’s background, customers should be served fairly and in the order they arrive. This left me feeling that I was treated differently and I would not return.”

“First time visiting since it reopened after refurbishment / change in management. Decent, clean and open until late evening. There is an option for delivery as well. Convenient location, just opposite the bus stop. Price is within reasonable range. Customer service was also excellent, the server is very friendly and asked if I have any preference for which cuts of chicken pieces. You can opt for either fried or grilled chicken. The only let down is that they charge extra for dips and sauces.”
- Jay Huss
“I’ve been to many chip shops but this one has one of the freshest crispiest chips around. The chicken wing batter is very nice and flavoursome”
- ABDUL SHAHED
