Quick info
About Thunderbird Fried Chicken
Set inside Southview Holiday Park's caravan site in Skegness, Thunderbird Fried Chicken is a fast food restaurant open to anyone who drives in, not only to people staying on the park. Orders are placed at the counter on a walk-in basis, and the chicken is fried fresh to order, so a wait is normal when the kitchen is busy. Buckets run up to 20 pieces, and the thunderwrap sits alongside chicken burgers and hot wings. A kids' menu makes it workable for families with young children, and the same food can be ordered as takeaway to eat off site. An outside eating area gives the option of dining outdoors, and the counter serves daily.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers single out the fried chicken above everything else, describing it as tender, juicy and fresh, crispy outside and falling apart inside, with several saying it beats KFC. Wings are close behind, with one calling them out of this world and another planning to return for the hot wings on a recommendation. Chicken strips, a 20 piece bucket, a chicken and mayo burger, a thunderwrap, crispy chips with a fluffy middle, and churros also get named, along with sauces that went down well and a kids chicken and fries that a child loved. Staff come up repeatedly as friendly and welcoming, and the manager is described as chatty and explaining how the food is cooked. Two parents say the team was accommodating and lovely with their autistic and SEN children. Reviewers also mention a clean eating area and kitchen. The one criticism is small: a diner felt the wrap needed a bit more sauce. Several describe generous portions, with chicken so packed that a piece fell out of a burger.

“Welcomed by very friendly staff. Really passionate about the food and it shows in the finished product. The chicken strips were gorgeous. Fried perfectly so that the chicken was crispy on the outside but fell apart in the middle. Great service, great food!”

“Luke was fantastic, explained the menu, how the food was cooked & generally was really chatty & friendly- the food was amazing, fresh chicken, well cooked - plenty of it, we definitely didn’t go hungry this day! We had the 20 piece bucket - and a burger - exceptional quality, the sauces went down very well! Decent prices considering what you get - much better than other chicken retailers which I will not name 🤣🤣 !! We weren’t staying on the park but had a drive up & it was all accessible to the general public- you don’t have to drive too far through the caravan park to find it 😊”
