Queues out the door at new Liverpool restaurant said to be 'better than KFC'

A huge queue formed outside a new chicken restaurant which opened in Liverpool today.

Jollibee launched across two floors in the former Lush premises on Whitechapel and many people stood in line waiting to be the first through the doors.

The queue was so big it went right down Button Street after it opened at 10am.
