A food columnist drove 70 miles to try rotisserie chicken at Portion in Woodbridge, Suffolk.

Mark Heath, a food columnist, made a 70-mile round trip from mid-Suffolk to visit Portion in Woodbridge after receiving multiple recommendations about the restaurant. The eatery opened a few months ago on Quay Street, opposite the train station, and offers plenty of parking.

Portion is styled as an ode to Italian sandwich culture, serving rotisserie chicken in its own schiacciata bread alongside Italian-inspired sandwiches. The restaurant also offers whole chickens or varying portions of bird with roast potatoes, sides and dips.

Heath had been told by various people about the chicken and sandwiches, with one person promising him 'the ultimate chicken sandwich'. He made the journey on his day off and reports that he would make the trip again, though he suggests the reasons were not what he initially expected.
