Attention chicken lovers – we have big news! Popeyes® have finally touched down in Hampshire, and it’s right here in FP. Yes, the home of that legendary fried chicken sandwich now has a brand-new spot just waiting for you to dive in.

The grand opening on Friday wasn’t just a ribbon cutting, but a full-on party. Hundreds of hungry fans gathered to be part of the action, with live tunes from Mardi Gras-style band The Brass Funkeys, exclusive merch giveaways, and (drumroll please) three very lucky chicken lovers walked away with a Popeyes® card giving them three chicken burgers a week. Yes, really. Imagine never having to face a burger-less Monday again!

So, what’s on the menu? Only the stuff Popeyes® fans rave about: the iconic Chicken Sandwich, crispy Hot Wings, juicy Tenders, and those Signature Wraps that might just change your lunchtime game forever. And here’s the secret to that unreal crunch – they marinate the chicken for a full 12 hours in bold Louisiana spices before hand-breading and battering. The result? That world-famous shatter-crunch that’s impossible to resist.

Another bonus – all the chicken is halal, so even more people can join the feast. Whether you’re dining in with friends or grabbing a quick takeaway, Popeyes® have you covered.

You’ll find the new restaurant by G Factory, just inside the Wote Street entrance. Follow the smell of fried chicken happiness and you won’t miss it.
