The Aberystwyth chicken shop Taron Egerton says is as good as any restaurant in London or Hollywood

One of Wales' most famous exports has proven he hasn't forgotten his roots, naming an Aberystwyth fried chicken takeaway as one of his favourite places to eat - with one of their chicken burgers making the cut as his ideal main course. Appearing on popular podcast Off Menu with Ed Gamble and James Acaster, actor Taron Egerton professed his love for the Aberystwyth institution.

While on the podcast he talked about visiting some of the world's fanciest restaurants in London and Hollywood, but pushed them aside for his mam's homemade curry and Aber's 'Lip Licking Fried Chicken' as his favourite meal. And for those who have had the pleasure of spending an evening at the town's famous 'Pier Pressure' nightclub, his choice will come as no surprise.

On the podcast, which was released on July 27, the actor, best known for his portrayal of Elton John in Rocketman, discussed all things food and drink - from his favorite restaurants to confessing his love for mayonnaise. A feature of each episode is when the guests are asked to choose their favourite starter, main, dessert and drink.
