A fast-food outlet on Chiswick High Road has submitted an application which, if granted, would allow it to stay open until 4am on weekends and 2am for the rest of the week.

Chicken Cottage, at 12 Chiswick High Road near the junction with Goldhawk Road, currently shuts at 11pm.

Its application to Hounslow Council to serve late night refreshments, does not include alcohol, but covers both dining in and delivery.

The application states that three members of staff will be on the premises at all times and that pedal bikes and EV scooters will be used for any deliveries after 11pm.

The address used to be the premises of Maachan Indian restaurant before being converted into a Chicken Valley, a similar business to Chicken Cottage, which went into liquidation in 2023.

Chicken Cottage was established in 1983 opening its first branch in Wembley and now has 67 outlets. It is majority owned by Malaysian companies including the main investment arm of the State of Terengganu.

It serves Halal chicken which blends South Asian and southern US flavours.

Comments can be made on the application to licensing@hounslow.gov.uk up until Christmas Eve.

This site remains committed to providing local community news and public interest journalism.

Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets.

We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.

We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area.

A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site.

One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute.

If you do support us in this way we'd be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor.

For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you'd like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT. All payments are made through a secure web site.
