It will be the award-winning chicken wing favourite’s first site in the city. They currently have two restaurants in Nottingham and one in Leicester.

Chicken fans will be able to choose from a selection of signature wings, tenders and burgers, to seasoned fries, dips, milkshakes, freestyle drinks and churros, diners can discover the award-winning brand’s 10 bold flavours. These include Lemon Pepper, Mango Habanero, Hickory Smoked BBQ, Original Hot and Garlic Parmesan.

You can also take flavours to the next level with sauces like ranch, blue cheese and honey mustard.
