This place has been on my mind a lot today, partly because I ate here ~a year ago, but mainly because I was trying to find a crowd pleasing but affordable place to eat with work friends in a couple of weeks. Also a little bit because it recently featured as number 26 on Timeout’s top 100 restaurants, and rightly so; this golden gem often gets forgotten about, with all the “trendier” (sorry such a mum word) or “more suitable for a date” places coming to mind first. But don’t be put off by its casual fast food dining persona…
Their Google slogan reads “the best fried chicken in town”. I know this probably won’t make you remember them any more than KFC, but let this show stopper make you remember them: you can get a whole deep fried chicken. Buttermilk brined & free range with chilli vinegar & Gochujang mayo (whatever that is, but it sounds appealing). Even more delicious if you’re hungover and ravenous on a Sunday.
Other dishes I would recommend: The aubergine side and the watermelon salad. Oh and get the sriracha and sour cream dip – it makes it even better.
Next time I’ll try the sour cocktails, and will give you my verdict. It was rude I didn’t last time, but I was hungover and it was Sunday (and had been at Printworks the night before) so give me some credit. I shall be eating there soon and will leave further updates/comments below.
