“We put a lot of love and pride in our food”
The executive chef at Blackpool’s newest chicken eatery says they put a ‘lot of love and pride’ into their cuisine.
We caught up with executive chef Rhys Carr at Abingdon Street Market, to find out more about Pattersons Famous Fried Chicken which opened its doors this week.
The company has chosen Blackpool's Abingdon Street Market as the home of its latest expansion and the company's seventh location, representing a significant investment in Blackpool's growing food and leisure sector.
He said: “We specialise fried chicken in our own secret brine creating fried chicken that is tasty, soft and succulent with a crisp exterior.
“We are fully independent with our first shop in Liverpool called Back Street Chicken. But we have now places in Manchester, Newcastle, Warrington, Bebington and Glossop.
“Chicken tenders are great for the kids at £6.50 with a Fruit Shoot.
“We put a lot of love and pride in our food, we have done for 14 years, still going strong and expanding rapidly in Blackpool.

Founded by entrepreneur Darren James, Pattersons has expanded from a single Liverpool operation into one of the North West's best-known independent food brands.
He said: "Blackpool has always been a town we've admired. The investment that has gone into Abingdon Street Market has created one of the most exciting food destinations in the North West and we're delighted to be joining it.
“The hospitality industry continues to face significant challenges, which makes it even more important to back locations and communities that are investing in their future. We believe Blackpool is doing exactly that.”
