Popular fast food fried chicken chain set to come to service station near Eastbourne

Miss Millie’s, fried chicken chain originating from the Southwest in 1988, and Motor Fuel Group (MFG), the UK’s largest independent forecourt operator, are pleased to announce that Langney, Eastbourne will be the next location for its second forecourt store, as it entered into a franchise partnership agreement earlier this year.

The new Langney restaurant and takeaway is due to open mid-September and will be housed within the Esso filling station, next to Langney shopping centre and comes after plans were conditionally approved by Eastbourne Borough Council for an extension to the service station that would include the next fast food takeaway.

The new store will showcase Miss Millie’s new brand, instore design, and menu. The freshly prepared food, drinks, desserts, and treats will include a range of chicken burgers, wraps, hot wings, tenders, churros and waffles.

Miss Millies currently has 11 branches across the UK including Bristol, Weston Super Mare, Southampton, Yate and Wellington.

The agreement between Miss Millie’s and MFG is an important milestone for Miss Millie’s as it forms part of the brands expansion plans to become nationally recognised over the coming years. With more new stores planned to open later in 2023.

Carl Traill Managing Director for Miss Millies said: “Following on from the success of our first forecourt store in Wellington with MFG. We are delighted to be partnering with MFG again and opening this new store.

“We can’t wait to bring the Miss Millie’s brand to the residents of Langney, Eastbourne, and create up to 25 new job opportunities in the area.’

“Miss Millie’s has been serving awesome chicken in Bristol and the Southwest for over 35 years, and we are excited to be bringing the Miss Millies brand to East Sussex for the first time.

MFG’s food service director, Paul Deary said: “Food to Go is becoming a growing attraction to our forecourt customers. We are always looking to offer high quality and exciting products and I believe that the introduction of Miss Millie’s ‘awesome chicken’ range will prove to be a success.”
