A new takeaway has opened in Clacton, with the owner hoping to cook up the best fresh chicken in the area.

Jay Behagg, 33, from Welwyn Garden City, has chosen Clacton as the location for his third ‘Tings and Wings’ chicken shop.

Mr Behagg took over the shop from business partner Marlon Lilly.

They already had shops in Stevenage and St Albans.

Jay said: “It’s been really busy so far and we even ran out of chicken on the first weekend.

“It’s good to be so busy and we think there’s a bit of a gap in the market.

“We just found there was a call for it and it's worked out. We’ve even had people coming back ten days in a row.”
