Leonard Sharples posted to his partner: “I have sorted Valentine’s out, you said you wanted to keep it cheap, lol.”

The chain is offering table service for Valentine’s Day, and the idea is to be piloted in Preston’s Fishergate branch this year.
Gary Mather, regional general manager said; “A spicy zinger burger is all you need for love at first bite and our table is perfect for any hot date this Valentine’s Day.
“Our date night table offers diners the finest window seat with an exclusive view of Fishergate – a perfect setting for our finger lickin’ good chicken.”
