About Chicken Run Manchester

On Yarburgh Street in Manchester, Chicken Run Manchester serves Caribbean food as a fast food restaurant with orders taken at a front counter and no table service. Curried goat appears regularly on the menu, often served with rice and peas, steamed veg, dumplings, and coleslaw. Jerk chicken and jerk wings are common choices, alongside fish and chips made with snapper. The chicken split is also on offer as a smaller item. Customers queue at the till to place orders before food is prepared, and the format suits those wanting a quick meal rather than a sit-down experience. The shop opens Monday to Saturday and stays closed on Sundays. Rice and peas and dumplings round out most plates as standard sides.

Customer Review Summary

Curried goat draws the most consistent praise, with reviewers repeatedly describing it as "melt in mouth" and reminiscent of home cooking, closely followed by the chicken split and jerk wings, plus mentions of patties and pineapple cake among the desserts. Several regulars cite generous portions and fresh rice and peas as reasons they keep returning. Set against this is a recurring complaint about order accuracy and quality control: multiple diners describe wrong or missing items (a snack box, gravy for curry goat, chips), dry or undercooked chicken, and unanswered phones when trying to resolve it. A number of reviewers also report curt or "shouting" service at the counter, and one long-time customer describes a decline from consistently good food to dry chicken and stale rice on repeat visits. Two reviewers separately allege they were treated differently or given smaller portions because of their race, framed as their own experience rather than an established pattern. A few also mention a wait to order.
