During my stay in the UK, I discovered a real gem, Morley's chicken restaurant. This place is legendary for spoiling customers with the finest periperi chicken, mouth-watering burgers, and the crispiest French fries you'll ever taste.
As a ravenous foodie originally from New York, it was almost a given that I'd end up at Morley’s, this well-loved fried chicken joint in the heart of bustling south London. You can imagine how delighted I was to learn they had expanded, adopting new culinary territories in Brick Lane and Finsbury Park. Word on the chicken-vine is that they're eyeing spots like Brighton, Newcastle, and Leeds. With 63 established locations and one actually conveniently located in Sydenham, it's safe to say Morley's is spreading its delicious wings. What's their secret apart from their mouth-watering chicken? Well, rapeseed oil. This oil, known for its high smoke point, ensures the perfect crunch to their fried chicken.
The thing about Morley's menu that stands out is not just the variety, but also the farm-to-fork ethos. They source their chickens locally, from farms around South London, which means the chicken served is free from harmful chemicals. The skillful staff put their own twist on your typical fried chicken, delicately marinating the chickens with hand-picked seasonings, and letting them bathe in the flavors for 24 hours. This result? Chicken that's crispy on the outside, yet moist and flavorful on the inside.
You'll also love that the menu gives you the option to pair your choice of chicken with either burgers or French fries. Talk about spoiling your palate!
From classic and kid's meals to chicken strips, medleys, fish & chips, and nuggets, the versatility of Morley’s offerings blew my mind. I'm a burger feen, and those juicy chicken burgers had me gobbling, making my taste buds do a victory dance. Didn't I mention the beef burgers, cheeseburgers, and veggie ones?
The chicken offerings were also ticking all the right boxes. Served in varying quantities, you get to dictate how chicken-filled your meal is! The fiery periperi chicken meal gave me a kick, but also I enjoyed even a single piece of Morley’s perfectly crisp chicken. If you're taking your family, rest assured that Morley's has flavors for everyone.

Alright, I admit Morley's might not be your vegan paradise. While they offer a few dishes suitable for vegans, it's limited, mainly because their forte is fast foods that are rich and robust, known for high calorific content.
