Case Study: Wingers – A Restaurant-Franchise Success Story
Wingers launched in 2020 with a single restaurant in the Midlands. In just a few years, they’ve grown to 15 sites — and fried chicken is at the heart of their success.
Their growth wouldn’t have been possible without a breading mix that could scale across all locations while maintaining flavour and crunch.
“We worked really closely with Middleton Foods and got the product exactly how we wanted it. Not too heavy, not too crunchy – just right. Within a month we were ready to go.”
— Amran Sunner, Co-Founder of Wingers
“The breading is the same across all stores. We bread fresh to order, and it performs every time. It’s as easy as shake, coat and fry.”
Their custom recipe is produced by Middleton Foods — the team behind Rooster’s — and tailored to their restaurant kitchen needs.

Case Study: Peck Peck – Hackney’s Flavour-Forward Chicken Restaurant
Peck Peck started as a takeaway concept but quickly grew into one of East London’s most-loved chicken restaurants — known for fresh, free-range chicken, bold global sauces, and its signature crispy coating.
Owner Sal Whitehead knew that to elevate his offering, he needed a coating that was:
Exclusive to his brand
Crispy enough to handle multiple sauces
Consistent under pressure
He turned to Middleton Foods to develop a bespoke restaurant-grade chicken breading.
“They had the best flavour and crunch. We knew Middleton Foods were the only choice. Now, no one can recreate our recipe — it’s completely unique to Peck Peck.”
