Get in touch
Chicken World Harlesden is an independent editorial guide to fried chicken and takeaway culture in Harlesden and NW10. This page is how you reach the people who write it.

We read everything and reply to what needs a reply, usually within a few working days. There is no phone number here, because there is no shop, no counter and no kitchen — only an editorial project.
What we'd like to hear about
- Corrections. A technical error in the fried chicken guide, a wrong claim about chilli varieties in the peri-peri guide, a mistake about local history in the area guide. Tell us and we'll fix it and note the correction.
- Story ideas. A food tradition in NW10 we've missed. A technique worth explaining. A piece of Harlesden history that deserves recording before it disappears.
- Questions. Stuck on something after reading the takeaway guide? Ask. Good questions become articles.
- Reuse and citation. To quote, translate or republish any of our material, email and ask. We're usually happy to say yes, with credit and a link.
What we cannot do
We are a guide, not a takeaway. There is no fryer behind this website.
- We cannot take your order. No food, no delivery, no collection, no catering, no meal deals.
- We cannot book anything for you. We don't act for any venue.
- We cannot give you a shop's phone number, address, prices or opening hours. We deliberately don't publish third-party contact details. They change, and out-of-date details send people to closed doors and get businesses blamed unfairly. Contact the business directly.
- We cannot sell you a mention. No paid features, no sponsored reviews, no "best in NW10" placements, no matter how the offer is framed. Our full policy is on the about page.
If you run a food business in NW10
We'd genuinely like to talk to you — about oil, about brine, about suppliers, about what running a takeaway on a high street actually costs and how you hold standards through a Friday night. Conversations with people who cook for a living are the single best source of information available, and they're the reason anything on this site is worth reading.
What we will not do is publish a favourable piece in return for anything at all. That rule applies to everyone without exception, and it's the only thing that makes this guide trustworthy.
Press, students and researchers
Journalists, food writers, students and local historians are welcome to use our material with credit and a link. Same email address.
A note on privacy
There's no contact form on this page, and that's on purpose — a form collects data and we'd rather hold none. If you email us, we use your address to answer that message and for nothing else. No mailing list, no newsletter, no sharing your details with anyone.
How long we take
This is a small operation, not a newsroom. Corrections are dealt with quickly — a wrong fact on a live page is worth dropping other things for. Story suggestions go into a queue that moves at the speed of spare evenings. Some become articles; some sit there for months; some never make it, and that's no reflection on the idea.
Your question may already be answered
A good number of the emails we get are covered by existing pages. If you want to know why some chicken stays crisp on the walk home and some doesn't, that's the double fry, explained in the fried chicken guide. If you want to know where peri-peri actually comes from, the peri-peri guide traces the whole route. If you want to know what to order so it survives the journey, the takeaway guide ranks it.
Complaints
If you think we've got something wrong, been unfair, or written something lazy about the area, tell us straight. We would much rather have a blunt email that's right than a polite one that lets an error stand on the page.
While you're waiting for a reply, read the homepage or the Harlesden and NW10 area guide.
