Chicken & Blues is to open its third site after partnering with Deliveroo at its Reading Editions site.

The opening sees the concept, centred around deep south staples,  stray out of its Bournemouth and Poole for the first time.

The concept was founded in 2013 by Joshua Simons and Steve Crawford and was runner-up in last month’s National Takeaway Awards. It grew to three sites but sold its Winton outlet in March of last year.
