Ji The Chicken Shop (Guildford)

Walking past the High Street shops towards the town centre, Ji The Chicken Shop is the kind of place you duck into when you can't be bothered with the usual chains. It's unpretentious, straightforward, and packed with regulars who know their order by heart. The chicken comes out golden and properly cooked through, the kind of thing that tastes better because you're eating it on the street or taking it back to yours rather than sitting down trying to make it fancy. It's quick, it's affordable, and it genuinely hits the spot—no nonsense, just decent fried chicken that keeps people coming back.
