Looking for the best wings in Reading? You’ve just found them. Gurt Wings, based at Blue Collar Corner on Hosier Street, is the go-to destination for mouthwatering chicken, bold flavours, and seriously indulgent street food.
Whether you’re a local foodie or visiting for the weekend, this guide will give you everything you need to know about why Gurt Wings stands out — from its legendary wings to its creative sauces and must-try sides.
Why Gurt Wings Should Be on Your Foodie Radar
Tucked inside Reading’s Blue Collar Corner (15 Hosier Street, RG1 7QL), Gurt Wings brings an unmatched passion for flavour. Their signature wings are soaked for 24 hours in either buttermilk or soy sauce, resulting in unbelievably juicy, flavour-packed chicken.
Whether you’re grabbing lunch or meeting mates for dinner, the relaxed street-food vibe makes it a great spot to enjoy good food without the fuss. This isn’t your average chicken joint — Gurt Wings is a full-on flavour experience.
A Menu Built for Wing Lovers
Gurt Wings offers something for everyone, from solo snackers to full-on feast mode. Wings come in portions of 6 (£8.50) or 12 (£14.50), while strips and combo boxes give you plenty of variety. Don’t miss the Chicken Combo Box or the Full Combo Box — both packed with a mix of wings, strips, cheese stix, and Chicken Salt Tater Tots.
Cheese lovers can dive into the Squeaky Cheese Stix meals, and if you’re really hungry, the Loaded Tater Tots topped with sliced chicken strips and sauce are a game-changer.
Sauces Worth Obsessing Over
One of the biggest reasons Gurt Wings has built a cult following is their homemade sauce range. Classics like Gurt Buffalo (topped with blue cheese or ranch) are always a hit, while flavours like Gurt BBQ, Gurt Mango Habanero, and Gurt Garlic Mucker deliver creative twists that set them apart.
The Gurt Mucker Special – A dirty garlic butter sauce with grated parmesan and herbs, created in collaboration with @JackEatsEverythingg. It’s a must-try.
For heat-seekers, The Gurt Locker (a fiery collab with Tubby Tom’s) packs serious punch with scorpion and ghost chillies.
There’s also an Asian-inspired range, including:
-
Lost in Translation – Korean-style ketchup with sriracha lime mayo
-
Gurt Wing of China – Chinese 5 spice and hoisin
-
The Gurt Bang of Boskok – Thai lemon syrup and red curry mayo
Each sauce is unique and totally crave-worthy.
Don’t Sleep on the Sides
Beyond wings, Gurt Wings serves up JFC Popcorn Chicken (Japanese karaage-style), Chicken Salt Tater Tots, and Loaded Tots. Perfect for sharing — or not!
