Our founder, Matt Harris started Thunderbird Fried Chicken in an old ambulance, hitting the London street food scene with a bang and going on to win WingFest for the Best Wings in London, before graduating to ‘bricks and mortar’ locations in 2019.
Quality is at the core of everything that we do, and our mission is to make fried chicken great again. Our recipes are reinvented classics; we take traditional fried chicken recipes, analyse what makes them great, then improve every element using science and a good dose of creativity. And we serve it with a smile and good old-fashioned hospitality. We’ve developed a loyal fanbase in London and have won 10 awards at WingFest over the years!
We are driven heavily by our values of Family, Trust, Pride, Fun and Authenticity, which weave their way into our everyday operations. We are a people first organisation and endeavour to give our employees industry leading training, support, and development.
“My vision for Thunderbird is to build a business that’s loved equally by our employees and guests. If people love eating with us and working with us then success will inevitably follow” Matt Harris, Founder.
