Chicken George

Chicken George Jnr is a popular fried chicken restaurant and sports bar on Tavistock Street in Bedford, serving American-style fried chicken, burgers, wings, ribs and loaded sides. It is a good choice for a relaxed and indulgent meal, particularly if you are looking for generous portions and plenty of choice.

The menu is centred around crispy fried chicken, with options including chicken burgers, wings, chicken on the bone and boneless chicken. There are plenty of different flavours and sauces to choose from, including Buffalo, Honey BBQ, Mango and Maple Sriracha, while the Chicken George Whoppa provides a substantial double-chicken option.

There is plenty more than chicken too. The menu includes mac and cheese, loaded fries, potato tots, BBQ beans, house slaw and other sides, while vegetarian and vegan diners can opt for the Chickless Chicken burger. Larger sharing meals and buckets also make it a good option for groups or families with bigger appetites.

One of the things that makes the Bedford restaurant different is its sports-bar atmosphere. Large screens show live sporting events, making it a popular place to meet friends and watch football, rugby, boxing and other major sporting occasions while enjoying a meal.

Chicken George also has a strong local and family history. The original Chicken George was established in Luton in 1985, and the business has developed a reputation for its fried chicken and wings, winning multiple awards at WingJam competitions.

The Bedford restaurant is halal friendly, with halal turkey bacon used in its burgers and mac and cheese. The Bedford site does also serve pork ribs separately, with the restaurant stating that pork is prepared off-site and cooked and stored separately from other food.

Its Tavistock Street location makes Chicken George easy to include in a wider visit to Bedford. It is close to other independent restaurants and food businesses, while the lively atmosphere makes it particularly suited to an evening meal with friends or watching live sport.

Whether you are after crispy wings, a loaded chicken burger, a sharing bucket or simply want somewhere lively to eat while watching the game, Chicken George Jnr offers a distinctly indulgent fried-chicken experience in Bedford.
