Thunderbird Fried Chicken lands in Croydon

The site in Croydon, Greater London, joins Battersea and Shoreditch as its third Food Stars kitchen.

Thunderbird Fried Chicken, the award-winning wings and fried chicken concept backed by Trispan, recently launched outside of London for the first time. The site in Croydon, Greater London, joins Battersea and Shoreditch as its third Food Stars kitchen and will be delivered by Deliveroo and UberEATS.

CEO Paul Gilchrist said: “We’re excited to be able to deliver outside of London for the first time and to expand through dark kitchens during this lockdown.”

The Foodstars kitchen in Croydon will also deliver its recently launched plant-based virtual delivery brand, Jackfruit Junkie. The vegan menu is all produced in separate vegan fryers on site.

Founder Matt Harris added: “Jackfruit Junkie is enabling us to showcase our newly developed indulgent vegan food offering. Based on the same principles I had when setting up Thunderbird Fried Chicken, we strive for perfection in delivering the most crave-worthy plant-based food you can find. We hope people will agree.”
Thunderbird Fried Chicken also operates at Charing Cross, Paddington and The O2.
