‘Halal’ Jollibee to launch in Newcastle this Thursday

HALAL STATUS Fully Halal

Popular Filipino chicken franchise Jollibee has confirmed that its soon-to-open branch in Newcastle will indeed be serving Halal.

“The home of Asia’s favourite fried chicken” will be opening its eighth branch this Thursday 4 November on Northumberland Street opposite Santander at 10am.

While the brand has revealed on its website: “Yes, our Newcastle restaurant will serve Halal meats,” this will be the third branch to cater for Halal – the other two being Reading and Leicester.

With plenty of footfall assured, including no doubt another long queue on opening day, the new 95-cover site is part of “Jollibee’s ambitions to meet the needs of local audiences in each of its stores”, with a no-alcohol policy.

Founded in the Philippines in 1978 and said to have “a cult following amongst the Filipino diaspora”, Jollibee offers unique food combos including crispy fried chicken with a side of sweet spaghetti.

While there’s also chicken burgers, hot dogs, fries, and desserts as part of their diverse menu range, Leicester customers will be able to try their latest items: Tropical Chicken Burger, Asian Slaw, Mango Coconut Sundae, and Asian Chicken Tender Rice Bowl.
