Chicken Cottage

– Joined 2015

Founded in 1994, Chicken Cottage opened its first store in Wembley, London, marking its entry into the quick service restaurant (QSR) market. With a unique menu featuring grilled, fried, and 100% halal chicken, Chicken Cottage was one of the first brands to bring these offerings together under one roof. The brand quickly gained a reputation for serving fresh, flavoursome, and affordable food with broad customer appeal.

Today, Chicken Cottage is wholly owned by TI Global Holdings Ltd, a company incorporated in Malaysia. This international backing has helped the brand establish a strong foundation for global expansion. Currently, Chicken Cottage operates across more than 60 locations in the UK and has a growing international footprint. We are proud to serve customers in Kenya, with new stores launching soon in Iraq, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia.

Franchising Opportunities

Chicken Cottage has been franchising since 1995 and has developed a robust and proven business model. Today, we proudly operate over 60 stores across the UK, with a presence that stretches from Oban and Carnoustie in Scotland to Bournemouth on the south coast – a true testament to our nationwide appeal.
