We visited a hidden Korean restaurant in the town centre 🍛 

I know you love a bit of food here when you read the Scoop. There is a hidden Korean/Asian restaurant tucked away in the middle of town, called TBK, that you might not know about.

In short…. I went for the K-Pop chicken wings (really crispy) that were lovely, and my wife went for one of the rice bowls, which I may have eaten some of as well 😀 

Definitely worth checking out. You can find them just off Sankey Street inside The Hive.

Thanks for reading The Warrington Scoop today.

If you found this useful, please share it with someone who remembers when Warrington was Lancashire and not Cheshire… my dad would always refer to himself as a Lancashire lad!
