A new fried chicken restaurant with graffiti walls and a retro Pac-man gaming machine is ready to open in a Norfolk market town.

The ChicKing House is a "cool, fresh and funky" family-friendly restaurant that offers quality fast food for takeaway, delivery or sit-in dining.

Recent renovations have transformed the former hardware store in Dereham's Market Place into a new restaurant which will open on Friday, May 31 at 4pm.

Head chef and manager, Dominic Thompson, has came from a fine-dining background after working in Michelin star restaurants to create a recipe of five sauces with unique flavours which can be added to any dishes.

These include jerk barbeque, garlic ranch mayo, scotch bonnet and jalapeno, mango chutney and curried mayo.

Owner of The ChicKing House, Graham Bell, said: "I cant wait until we finally open our doors, everyone's looking forward to the opening.

“There's not a lot of restaurants in town, so it seemed like a good idea to open something cool, fresh and funky."

"Over the last couple of months, we've made great progress, it's my first restaurant, but it's all going really well.

Opening times are Sunday to Thursday from 11am to 10pm and Friday and Saturday from 11am to 12am.
