‘Just a heads up that across our country, there’s been some disruption over the last few weeks – so things may be a little different when you next visit us.
‘You might find some items aren’t available or our packaging might look a little different to normal. We know it’s not ideal, but we’re working hard to keep things running smoothly.
‘In the meantime, please be patient with our incredible teams… they’re doing a brilliant job despite the disruption. We can’t wait to see you soon for your next fried chicken fix.’
