A new grilled chicken restaurant is opening its doors in Norwich, with a huge free food giveaway to celebrate. 

Cluck'd, which is also a takeaway, launches on Monday, September 25 at 1 Westlegate, in the former home of Mindoro dessert parlour opposite Tesco Express.

It is the first Cluck'd restaurant, but director Ricky Sahota, 30, wants to eventually expand the brand nationwide.

He said: "I have always been a fan of grilled chicken and I wanted to take the next step from being a franchisee to launch my own concept.

"We are unique as we do not just offer peri-peri and all our bastes, dips and sauces are made in-house using our secret recipes - our slogan is grilled chicken your way." 

Customers can choose from options such as a quarter or half chicken or wings and then they select a baste - either Straight Up, Lemon Squeeze, Herby Garlic, Tingly or Screaming.

This can be enjoyed on its own or with a side, such as spicy fries, chipotle rice or onion rings, with meals from £5.50. 

There are also loaded fries, milkshakes, burgers, salad and snacks, with bottomless refillable drinks available.

Mr Sahota added: "The dream would be to go nationwide but before any of that we need to get it right in Norwich." 

To celebrate the opening on September 25 at 11am, the first 100 customers will get three free chicken wings in a baste of their choice.

Cluck'd will be open daily from 11am to 11pm.
