Case Study: Peck Peck – Hackney, London

When Sal Whitehead launched Peck Peck in Hackney, he wanted to elevate the chicken shop experience with free-range chicken, bold international flavours, and a signature crunch.

At the heart of the brand? A bespoke breading mix manufactured exclusively by Middleton Foods.

“It’s fantastic working with Middleton Foods. They check in, they care, and they really invest in helping you serve the best chicken in town.”

 

From Korean BBQ wings to hot honey tenders, Peck Peck’s success is grounded in a crispy coating that keeps customers coming back.

“Making the gravy is one of the easiest jobs in the kitchen. The breading is the exact same. It’s fresh, fast, and consistent every single time.”

- Amran Sunner, Wingers

Case Study: Wingers – The Chicken Wing Company

Founded in 2020 by Amran and Dylan Sunner with their father Bill, Wingers has grown rapidly from a single location to 15 UK sites — all serving crispy, fresh fried chicken tenders and wings.

To ensure quality across every store, they turned to Middleton Foods, the team behind Rooster’s.

“We worked really closely with Lee and together we mastered it — got the right product and were ready to go within a month. It matched our recipe perfectly.”

- Amran Sunner, Co-Founder, Wingers

“We designed our breading in-house so it’s not too crunchy, not too heavy. Middleton Foods matched it perfectly. We couldn’t have asked for anything better.”

- Amran Sunner, Co-Founder, Wingers

“We chose Middleton because they had the best flavour profile and crispiest coating we’d ever tried. Now we have our own unique breading that no one else can copy.”

- Sal Whitehead, Owner, Peck Peck
