Hen & Chickens Derby celebrated its first week in business by hosting a VIP event on Wednesday, February 28, 2024.
The fashionable bar and grill is just 10 minutes away from Derby city centre.
On the night we tucked into a selection of starters including chili paneer, masala soya, tandoori chicken and delicate fish fillets in ajwain (caraway) batter.
The eatery will focus on creating a dining experience that is a delicious combination of high-end and casual.
Main dishes on the menu include loaded sizzlers piled high with chicken and lamb, masala chips and more.
Seafood lovers will be in for a treat as salmon, seabass and King Prawns get the charcoal treatment under the Charcoal Blast section of the menu.

Address: Hen & Chickens, Crownhouse, 2 Queensferry Gardens, Allenton, Derby DE24 9SS
