I think it was the Goodies, way back in the seventies, that released the song the Funky Chicken, and for some unfathomable reason it steadily made its way up the 'hit parade', (as the charts were known back then), cementing them another hit amid a series of unquestionably awful singles, making them the kings of cheese... they loved it! I guess that the Funky Chicken fast food outlet on Clifton Street is named after this song, and when all is said and done, it's a good name for a business of this kind... proving ultimately that there is redemption for everyone, even the Goodies! (I loved the Goodies when I was a kid by the way!) The Funky Chicken is a well established business in this troubled area, where the one way system is reeking havoc amongst the local trade. Sales for fast food are down across the board, especially during day time hours, but thankfully the Funky Chicken Is withstanding this nadir in the streets history. This has probably got a lot to do with the discounted prices. It's possible to pick up a bargain bucket for £9.99 which includes eight pieces of chicken, eight wings and four regular fries. Other promotional offers include a 10% discount for students, a free 1.5 litre bottle of fizzy drink with orders over £15.00 and free home delivery with orders of £10.00 or above. They also offer kids meals, pizza deals (including a 'buy one get a second one half price' offer on deep pan and thin crust pizza's). The menu is extensive, and also includes; burgers, Peri Peri chicken, kebabs, bbq ribs, snacks, sides and extras, as well as desserts and cold drinks. The Funky Chicken are open from 11.00 in the morning until late every day.

Good Ol' Funky Chicken. Even though they changed the "Y" to an "E" on (most of) their signs, they are still a reliable place to get a Chicken Burger meal deal for just under £5... And, that's really all that matters.
