tantric blue in Branksome, Poole, Dorset

Over a few drinks on a rainy night in a far flung bar, Josh, Steve and few pals realised their mutual love of BBQ chicken. They decided to embark on an emotional and exciting journey, researching Southern American cooking styles, before landing on their own unique and secret recipes. In September 2013, they opened Chicken Shack, in Boscombe, UK. Lines formed at the door - and the boys ran out of chicken multiple times in the first week. They soon realised that Mama's Home Cookin' had arrived, and it was time to take things to another level! After many franchise enquiries, the boys decided to trademark their brand. They visited a lawyer in the city of London and were informed that they would need to change the name from Chicken Shack in order to trademark, as there were many Chicken Shacks around the world (obviously)! They racked their brains. 'We serve chicken, we play blues music. We serve chicken, we play blues music.....' mnnnnn. How about Chicken & Blues? Yes, it was available, and so our new, trademarked brand, was born! Shop no.2 opened its doors in the trendy neighbourhood of Ashley Cross in Poole, swiftly followed by a store in Winton, Bournemouth - a fabulous community of fans is forming across both towns, with over 25,000 C&B Patrons App members!
