Solo Dining London: Chicken Shop Holborn

Walking down the stairs (for those with mobility issues, you can use the hotel elevator to access the restaurant), I expected to see a counter and lots of seating like a Five Guys or Shake Shack (new outlets in London now) so I was quite surprised to find a nicely decorated restaurant with open kitchen, counter seating overlooking the kitchen, a long communal table and a good sized dining area.

The dessert options were three – chocolate brownie, lemon tart and the famous Chicken Shop Apple Pie.

I can no longer say “I hate apple pie” anymore as the Chicken Shop in London converted me to their version of deep dish apple pie.

I’m happy to now have a place to easily find good chicken in London – goodbye Chicken Burgers, hello Chicken Shop London.

The Chicken Shop Holborn opens at noon each day for each in or takeaway The Chicken Shop has a nine locations in London and one in Chicago My lunch cost £10.50, service charge (server tip) was not included so I added that to the bill

Chicken Shop, 79 Highgate Road, London NW5 | The Independent

This latest outpost from Nick Jones, of Soho House and Pizza East fame, is a fast-food joint, dishing up rotisserie chicken and a few side dishes in a no-bookings, wipe-clean tables, menu-on-the-wall environment.

With barely any choice – quarter, half or whole spit-roast chicken; crinkle-cut chips, coleslaw, corn on the cob and butter lettuce and avocado salad the side dishes – ordering takes but a second.

Wine comes in three sizes: glass, small jug or large jug, and three types: house, decent or good.

There's such a din of music, cutlery and a semi-stampede up and down the stairs that I don't catch what makes the difference between a decent and a good white wine, but the decent, at £19 for a large jug is, well, decent.

This could take a while… SCORES: 1-3 STAY AT HOME AND COOK, 4 NEEDS HELP, 5 DOES THE JOB, 6 FLASHES OF PROMISE, 7 GOOD, 8 SPECIAL, CAN’T WAIT TO GO BACK, 9-10 AS GOOD AS IT GETS Chicken Shop, 79 Highgate Road, London NW5, tel: 020 3310 2020 Open Tue-Thur 5pm-12am, Fri-Sat 5pm-1am.

Restaurant review: Chicken Shop, London - Telegraph

Whatever Alabama’s answer to sausages might be – hominy grits, let’s say – I find the thought comforting.

When the Desert Island Discs franchise is extended to encompass Death Row Dinners, and Kirsty Young asks after his selection, he will respond in one of two ways.

Simple comfort food is his thing, and this he has taken to its logical extreme with a north London restaurant at which spit-roasted chicken is the only dish on offer.

It looks and smells great, thanks in large part to the five birds spinning away on rotisseries behind a huge wooden table (the others are formica).

The chicken comes in three portions (quarter, half and whole), there are four side dishes and puddings, and the wines split into “house”, “decent” and “good”, virtually ruling out a big-money transfer raid for the sommelier at Le Gavroche.

The Chicken Shop – Holborn London

A trendy restaurant filled with wooden decor and porcelain chickens dotted around.There was an open kitchen where customers can see the chicken being cooked fresh to order on a rotisserie spit – with a bar area too!

Our overall experience at The Chicken Shop was really good and we’ve given it a yummy score of 4.

Interesting fact that we found out was that on a good day, they’d sell about 300 chickens, in their Holborn branch alone!

Serving rotisserie chickens, marinated overnight, steamed then spit-roasted over charcoal, Chicken Shop doesn’t get much better.

Highly rated by TimeOut and TripAdvisor, this restaurant is a cut above other fast-food chicken places.

The crinkle cut fries are gorgeous – and leave room for the sweet apple pie.

Restaurant Review: Chicken Shop | The Soulmates Blog

Look to the blackboard on the wall and you can choose from a whole, half or quarter chicken roasted in Chicken Shop’s secret marinade recipe.

I dived straight into the half chicken with smoky sauce, corn on the cob and avocado salad, and it did not disappoint!

After all that we were pretty stuffed, but I’d heard from friends that you can’t leave Chicken Shop without trying one of their American-style deserts, which include their famous deep-filled apple pie as well as warm chocolate brownie and lemon cheesecake, all served with either cream or ice cream We were encouraged by the staff to try the apple pie, their personal favourite.

All in all, Chicken Shop is a great choice for a date in London.

Chicken Shop’s simple comfort food logic is taken to the extreme at the Holborn branch, making it a perfect choice for a relaxed and non-pretentious date, or even after-work dinner and drinks with friends.

You'd be clucking mad to miss out on a trip to Chicken Shop.

Set in our basement, it's all about the rotisserie chicken here served with a banging selection of sides.

There’s also a DIRTY BURGER outpost under the same roof.

This marks our first west London outpost.

Chicken Shop - review | London Evening Standard

Chicken Shop, in the basement underneath the recently opened third branch of Pizza East, more or less opposite The Vine, is the latest opening from Nick Jones’s Soho House Group — and it is, let us not mince our words, a bloody marvel.

No-choice or small-choice menus are all the rage this year — but not many take the principle quite as beautifully far as Chicken Shop.

Nick Jones says of this place: “Chicken would be my last meal and so I wanted to get it exactly right.”

On Saturday, simple and delicious salad and chicken stew at Scutchers restaurant in Long Melford, Suffolk, at my sister Sarah’s 50th birthday party for 50 guests, cooked by the proprietor, our childhood friend Nick Barrett.

Because there was nothing to eat at the Chicken Shop.

Chickens turn and blacken on a medieval-looking wood-fired spit, a man in a chain-mail glove hacks them into quarters, and your order of a whole, half or quarter bird arrives without delay.

Spicy but not too much so, blackened but not excessively, it is, yes, finger-lickin’ chicken.

The price of the free-range chooks appears keen, but profit-boosting sides such as great crinkle-cut chips and aïoli mayo dip, red cabbage coleslaw with a more creamy than tangy dressing, and a salad of butter lettuce (old-fashioned floppy leaves rebranded) with avocado, redress the balance.

Wines are wittily bracketed into house, decent and good, red, white and rosé; not so amusing is the outrageous mark-up on the prosecco.

Chicken Shop | Restaurants in Holborn, London

New Holborn branch of Soho House group's Chicken Shop in the basement of their Hoxton Holborn Hotel.

Chicken Shop, however, is a cut above the fast-food joints.

Yet Chicken Shop is still chickenfeed when compared to the big players.

What makes Chicken Shop’s birds so special is that they’re free-range, and grilled on a rotisserie, which helps cut down the fat content – not so finger-lickin’ good, perhaps, but better for you.

Chicken Shop has a much more sophisticated vibe than the average Nando’s, and this encourages up-spending.
