About Chicken George
Chicken George is a fried chicken takeaway in Hull, at 87 Paragon St, and it stays open till late for the after-nights-out crowd in town. The menu centres on chicken wings, with a spicy option for those who want more heat, alongside a half-pound chicken burger. Chips come in small and large sizes, and mayo is offered with orders. Orders can be placed by phone, and the business also runs its own online ordering website.

Customer Review Summary
Chips draw the most comment, and mostly as a complaint. One reviewer calls them re-fried, hard and dry, another found them hollow and full of grease, and a third says the small chips are always warm while the large ones cool in the packaging. The few positives centre on the half-pound chicken burger and the mayo, and one diner values the late opening after a night out. Close behind are complaints about the chicken itself, described as over-battered, overcooked and soggy, with greasy spicy wings and a double chicken burger that arrived with very little chicken. Several describe rude or hard-to-follow phone exchanges, a collection order that had not been started, and one order that arrived with a partner's meal missing. Delivery draws the sharpest criticism, with food arriving soggy and lukewarm through a delivery app, and one reviewer who never received an accepted order after repeated unanswered calls to the shop.

“Genuinely could not comprehend how terrible the service is with delivery. I made an order which they accepted on their website. They said it'd come in 45 minutes, but an hour later it still hadn't come. I waited until about 1h 15m in then called the restaurant only for the man on the phone to tell me that the food was on the way. He never asked for my address or any other details so he has no specific information about my order. I waited some more, then called back and didn't get an answer. Called again 8 more times and still no answer. Nobody has come to deliver the food that I ordered. What a waste of time. In all seriousness, if you're going to order from this place you're taking a risk because they don't care enough to fulfill the orders that they accept. I would absolutely not recommend.”

“Very disappointing spicy wings! The owner should have been booked them in for a short back and sides at the barbers next door prior to cooking them. They had more hair then The Crypt Keeper🫣”

“One of the worst Chicken George experiences in Hull — and that’s saying something, because it used to be one of the best. The owner — or the man I assume owns the place — is a masterclass in rudeness. Call him three times, and he’s rude all three times. Come in store, same story. One time I placed a collection order, got there, and he hadn’t even started it — and was still rude. Another time, I called, and he literally said, “It’s busy, order in store” then hung up. Third time? Same. I just hung up and saved myself the headache. Honestly, I didn’t know chicken could come with an attitude as a side dish. The chicken itself is confusing. It’s over-battered, overcooked, and somehow soggy at the same time. I don’t know how physics allows over-fried and soggy chicken, but somehow they’ve cracked it. Needless to say, I won’t be returning. Endike Lane’s branch is clearly the best — great chicken, no hot-headed owner, and no unexpected side of attitude.”
