Chicken shortage in Brighton
The problem – apparently caused by delivery problems – has left just one branch of the Colonel’s empire open in East Sussex - the KFC in Blatchington Road, Hove.
Hove’s KFC is among a short list of nationwide branches that are still open.

Hide AdA KFC spokesman said: “We’ve brought a new delivery partner onboard, but they’ve had a couple of teething problems – getting fresh chicken out to 900 restaurants across the country is pretty complex!
“We won’t compromise on quality, so no deliveries has meant some of our restaurants are closed, and others are operating a limited menu, or shortened hours.
“We know that this might have inconvenienced some of you over the last few days, and disappointed you when you wanted your fried chicken fix - we’re really sorry about that.
“Shout out to our restaurant teams who are working flat out to get us back up and running again.”
