Southern Fried Chicken - Charminster in Bournemouth

Accepted order and changed delivery time multiple times after

The chicken was a little over cooked but still very tasty

fried chicken from here is nice, But the chicken fillet burger was inedible, really horribly dry, chewy and nasty, was really awful, and the coleslaw was also substandard horrible, both went straight in the bin.

Great food delivered nice and hot. Great portions.

Meal was cold, chips were cooked , not fried , very soft. not crispy

Wonderful food again a issue with a items missing but all sorted out to happy resolution 👍🏻👍🏻

The food arrived very hot and freshly cooked but the wings were bland,and just cooked enough not to see blood. The chips were soggy and very small portion, also my note on the order was ignored. I'm sorry for the poor review but your standards are way higher than that. Still my favourite takeaway 😋

Very good, but you do need to improve the chips, as not the best.

Love this place ❤️ Food and service are amazing Thank you

Ordered a chicken wrap meal asked for no mayonnaise they smothered it in mayonnaise I’m heavily allergic to mayonnaise

fast delivery and food is always good/tasty. We love their chicken wraps.

Great chips and good portion sizes, welcoming staff

I don’t know what’s happening but chicken stinks … and pizza is not same how was before . I’m disappointed… I know I had huge discount but anyway because of that smell I can’t eat this .

Food never arrived , couldn’t do anything about it ; even maybe like send me my food till I get it . Useless place useless staff

We normally order online via Just Eat and the food always arrives quickly and piping hot from Charmister to Branksome. Today, we happened to be in the area so we went to eat in and the quality of the food was identical to home delivery - a testament to the speed at which it is always delivered! Friendly service and extra brownie points for giving us hot wings to try after we asked about the level of heat. We ordered hot wings and rice box (pics), have previously also tried the six fillet meal and I'll confess, I'd eat here over KFC any day. The heat of the wings was good for me (as someone who enjoys spicy food but who has a fairly low tolerance for heat) and the batter was well-seasoned. Everything is cooked well - crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. I was also offered extra sauce without asking. Nice, clean seating area. The only downsides were the lack of toilets and parking - we had to park on a side street around the block. Well worth the visit nonetheless!

Second time I ordered, first time was great and generous portion, second time awful. Practically no chips whatsoever, very odd. Not happy

Food good, fast delivery, but missing a portion of fries - buy we qualified for free garlic bread so wasn't the end of the world

Come on guy’s fill the sauce pots up only quarter full, also the Pepsi bottles please go back to the 1.5 bottles, as you have put the price up to nearly £4, also the chips need improving, too many tiny chips, I will only come back when you have offers on, as you have got to expensive for what I want to order.

delivery was amazing and food is good but unfortunately they missed an item.

Thank you so much for your wonderful food and very polite service ❤️

Excellent as always. Keep up the good job guys 👌😊

Ordered via Uber eats this evening, first time ordering pizza from here as I do actually rate the chicken, but jesus christ £11 for a "pizza" that is so small we'd class it as a kids meal. Not only that but also got sent a blue slush instead of the strawberry one ordered and it leaked everywhere, all over the box etc. Absolute nightmare and Uber won't help 😑 again, we rate the chicken here hence the 2 stars but this has put us right off ordering again.

The Driver did not have the Street number on his phone. He only had the Street Name. This is not the first time. We will have a meeting regarding this with your Head Office soon.

Items missing from order, stone cold chips, wrong drink sent and was really warm. when I rang to try and rectify this they couldn't give a toss and told me to get a refund off just eat!! terrible customer service and not great food, won't be using again, there are much better out there. AVOID!!!

Excellent food and service as always 👍

Thanks for delivering to the beach !

Don’t know what it is but this was the best burger I’ve had in a while, recommend. Lovely driver would recommend

A real alternative to KFC. Arrived super hot and had been cooked fresh. The chips are fantastic and they don’t beleive in small portions. I will ask to see if they do drumsticks in their bucket meals.

very quick service. hot food. pleasant delivery driver

This restaurant is very special, very clean, and the staff has a beautiful spirit, especially Jalalo. I will not forget the owner of the restaurant, who combines the quality of the product, the quality of the place, and the quality of creation.

my food was drenched in sauce and had stale buns and the cans were warm as well as the fries being soggy. it's a shame i had to make this review as the food is normally good but unfortunately not this time around.

I put one star because I have been scammed. I ordered 1 small pizza and one large pizza. why the f have I just recieved two small pizzas..

Food was lovely as always however there was an item missing which is the second time in as many weeks. Refund for missing item claimed through just eat

Good food. Large chicken pieces. Better than KFC by a mile. Thank you. K

Absolutely disgusted with the attitude of the restaurant. They never delivered my food then told me it's not their drive it's just eats so it's not their problem take it up with just eat. This is absolutely disgraceful behavior and outright robbery.

Tango Apple with bitesize meal was not provided

the 1st delivery driver was very obnoxious as the food order was completely wrong, called the shop all resolved and delivered within 20 minutes I think by the owner as I've seen his face before. food was great will defo order again

Food was great (excellent fried chicken), but unfortunately our extras/sides weren’t delivered - gravy, garlic dip and coleslaw. Despite that will definitely order again!

After a bad delivery driver not turning up the restaurant called me and assured that the food would be ready cooked and sent asap! Within 10 minutes I had my food and whole order and it was lovely and fresh! Thank you for the updates and excellent service from the manager and new driver who apologised

pizza was squished but still tasty

Best fried chicken in the area ordered mulitiple times, even the chips have improved since the last time I ordered. 100% recommend this place much better than KFC. I normally go for the chicken pieces and wings, it's so tasty 😋

Very good food. Very nice, guys Excellent service 👏 thanks again

Chips need to improve, not large and fluffy, just hard little bits, apart from that good.

The food was alright but had been tilted so all the topping had slide of the one side.I will not be ordering from them again.

The chicken burger is actually real great. The wings aren't, I could barely taste the seasoning. I think for the price, you would 100% be more satisfied with KFC. They do give a great portion of chips and everything feels to be cooked per order which is quite refreshing. Better than chicken cottage, not better than kfc

This place thinks it’s Harrods of chicken with its extortionate pricing! £10 for a burger and chips ? Seriously expensive and nothing justifies this! Hope people stop going here so that they learn a lesson

The quality has deteriorated, the price has increased again, the delivery fee and service charge is ridiculously expensive and there is no longer a stamp card, this restaurant has become a huge disappointment, I am very sorry because I have loved it your food.

Nice and hot. Thank you for the extra bits. Always good food from here. Many thanks K*************

We ordered yesterday 12/05/2024. There’s 2 chickens left this morning when I tried to eat left over from yesterday this is I found. Not recommended. Be careful. still feeling sick .

we didn't receive the ice cream that we ordered, nor the cold drink that was part of a meal deal, so not a great experience overall. the food we did receive was fine though.

One of the best if not the best, food amazing arrived early probably. Recommend for everyone we have been ordering form the place for a more then a year how and then never disappoint.

was left at front door. no contact. very poor service and disappointing and we didn't know our food had arrived until went downstairs.

The food had to be reheated as the delivery driver didn't follow my instructions. I had to go out and find him.

Really enjoyed the food. We all enjoyed it.

Great food from here. Chicken pieces are big and 100% nicer than kfc. They also read your notes you leave most of the time. Highly recommend this place. K

best chicken! Got my new fav restaurant now

while I'm living in this hotel away from home good food not bad prices compared to London I will always order here

Hey. Its not as crispy as it used to be crispy. I barely have any chips wish I could take a picture. Have a lovely day

Best fried chicken EVER! Wrong drink received but food - spot on!

I wanted to try SFC again after a while of not ordering and I threw up shortly after the meal, something about the chicken was off but I assumed it was fine - I was wrong.

Com on guys. works at at this hour it could b a mistake but I would hope u would fill up the tub of sauce it's literally empty xx. Thank you for the food have a good night

Perfect as always, Great food, fast delivery ,Highly recommended .

So glad I tried this place. The food was fresh hot and really good quality. Was impressed. KFC has got really bad. Will use here only from now on thank you.

Ordered chicken wrap, chips and drink for the first time and I was shocked by the portion...HUGE!!! Chicken was really good and super filling 😋 Much better than burger King

Thank you 2 the restaurant. They gave Me a wodmerudl surprise. Many thanks xxxx

All ways amazing . Better than kfc

Coke came freezing cold and soggy!

Spent a lot of money on a lot of food for our family who were visiting. Everybody said it was the best chicken they’d ever had. Absolutely superb meal. Will use again and again.

Good food, came really hot and on time

Good cheeseburger. Nice cheesy garlic bread. Delivered on time. Delivery driver was cool.

Food was over cooked or warmed up from the previous day

Never received order . Food was delivered to the wrong house

We are very upset as our order was 1 and half hours late. This was our iftar meal as we are fasting for Ramadan. The restaurant was kind enough to send us our order as our other order was stone cold. We would like a full refund please.

sent wrong order too late to wait for another delivery. just eat won't refund as can't provide pics of something I didn't receive? utterly shocking love just throwing money away for nothing

Order from this firm all the time for their chicken and it is great. Their pizza however was really bad. Dips backed and placed on top of the pizza and all of the cheese just slid and slopped off till it was a cool mush at the eye of the box.

ordered food from this place, never got it. When I call them there is no option for refund, unnaceptable

Usually this restaurant is top notch and the majority of the food was spot on this time however the quarter pounder burger that I paid £6 for wasn't very nice and went in the bin. It was kind of soggy and the salad was poor. I only asked for no tomato and all I got was a tiny piece of lettuce. No onion, pickles or anything. Its a shame because everything else was spot on as usual.

Food was left outside. Cold and horrible Driver did not even contact me . I have said the door bell doesn't work I am disappointed with just-eat

I don't know why just eat says early is bad I was extremely happy, great food good shop all around positives, quality on par to nando's and KFC

On Saturday night, the sauces came open and were all over the drinks, I asked for freshly cooked chicken and chips and they were not, chips were hard and stale, chicken was soggy with grease, if you’re not going to do what I ask, what’s the point getting from you, generally you are very good, but Saturday night was very poor from you.

Food was good but not the one I ordered.

Yet again the team at sfc have delivered me the finest chicken meals

Pls can I request a lil bit more chips pretty pls.

Chicken very salty. The bucket and the bag disintegrated due to moisture

Lovely hot food and good portion sizes

One of the best places to eat in Charminster, Bournemouth

Thank you, delivery driver very friendly and food was superb.

The chips not so good tonight, also forgot bottle of Pepsi and gave me the wrong slushes, but thank you anyway.

Pizza and burger are cold. all tossed around in the box looks like someone drove over it. asked for no onion on the food as allergic to it and guess what was on the food ?!

The driver had attractive personality

Smelly chicken , chip over fry oh gosh

Delicious food as always. A bit on the small size today😅

We got big surprise!! 1pc extra of chicken and 1 muffin as a bonus! Many thanks SFC. You are amazing!👏

Food was lovely. Piping hot - good portions. Many thanks

One of my favourite takeaways in the country. The chicken wrap was perfect as usual and the hot wings and chips were the crispiest I’ve had from a take away in a long, long time. Cooked to perfection. They listened to the instructions I put in the comments, which is always a pleasant surprise when ordering on Just Eat. The delivery driver is a legend and is always very polite - if he’s not the owner of the store (which I suspect he might be), I hope you treat him very well. Such a lovely man.

I love this place. How a chicken shop can produce the best beefburgers, I'll never know! One of the best takeaways I've ever used.

Delicious and freshly cooked food as always. Thank you for taking the time to write the lovely message on the bag, it put a smile on my face 😀

Sfc charminster is simply outstanding the shop is spotless the staff professional and take their job seriously and then the food the chicken is superb the wraps are amazing and addictive they put kfc to shame and then the pizzas perfectly cooked nice char on the crust cant be beaten... So if you are hungry try sfc and you will not be disappointed

Delicious chicken sandwich meal delivered by the boss

It’s simple the best southern fried chicken in Bournemouth I am a customer for long time and very satisfied all the time high quality high recommended
