This place was "Clutch" indeed! Amazing food and just right off the road from Columbia Flower Market. Great brunch place to go before, after or a midway break while you shop for flowers nearby. We were seated without a wait at all during lunch time on Sunday! The food was AMAZING. We got the wings with honey glaze sesame and the chicken with french toast - the real kicker was the bourbon honey vanilla syrup with the chicken French toast, it was so good we asked the waitress for the recipe. Only thing to improve was the wait time for the bill at the end, though to be fair they did start to get a lot more busy towards the end. Overall food 10/10 and service 8/10! read more

Mew, not quite sure what to think of this place to be honest...chicken was ok (good start since that's what they do)...but the menu doesn't give a lot of other options if you're not up for the greasy wings + mac & cheese combo. Staff didn't seem "on it" and everything was pretty slow, although the restaurant was half empty, and the funky black/white/flashy yellow isn't so much my cup of tea. Terrace seems pretty cool for sunny days! 2 stars for now, but will give it another shot. read more

Clutch - Hapoy hens + fries! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - London, XGL

This should be a no star review. Why no star, I hear you ask. Well, because there was no chicken Clutch is in the middle of nowhere and far from home for me. They normally only serve dinner but I was very happy to see that they were opening 12-12 in Dec. So, I booked via Opentable got my reservation confirmation I git there early to find the door locked. Stayed til my reservation time of 12.30 with no further signs of life I rang and someone answered. Apparently they were fully booked for a private event though there was no sign of life at the restaurant Long journey. No food. Should be no stars read more

Clutch - We were at but none of the restaurant staff were there despite us having a confirmed reservation through Opentable. Terrible! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - London, XGL

BUCK BUCK BUCKAAAAAAW!!!!!! I try to be a nice person, and rarely will I be so rude as to call out a fellow yelper on a point where I think they are just wrong (everyone has opinions!). But to the yelper who complained that this place doesn't serve beef or veggie options? Really? It is a chicken shop, not The Cheesecake Factory or Cafe Rouge. It isn't out to please everyone, it is out to please those who seek chicken. If you don't want chicken, don't come here. Full stop. If you DO want chicken (and a place that takes pride in serving up 'happy', ethically-sourced birds), definitely come here. Now. There are plenty of upscale grilled chicken spots in London these days, but very few focus on fried chicken, which this place does. And it does so pretty dang well. Sure, the chicken was great (though perhaps not as moist on the thicker parts of the breast as some places I've had in the States). But really, what made this place so great, in addition to overall well-cooked chicken were the sauces and sides. Excellent chips, tasty, crunchy coleslaw (and not too mayo-y), delectable gravy, lick-your-plate-good garlic/truffle aioli, nice chilli chutney.... the soy honey sauce on the wings I seriously wanted to pick up and drink. Both the soy chilli sauce and buttermilk fried preparations of the chicken were good. The lemon parmesan tenders were a bit drier, but still really good (and that aioli!!)... and the wings were excellent (oh, that soy honey sauce!)... Cute, tiny space with stylish decor and lovely dish ware. Plus they took my booking over twitter, always a plus (especially when Chicks on Fire, another chicken place, couldn't be bothered to update their hours on their own damn webpage and we showed up recently and they were closed). So I always appreciate it when a business shows they want my business on the interwebs. I'm sure I'll be back a lot when my waistline permits (or Rob H. begs). read more

Fried chicken blah blah, mana from heaven blah blah...if this is the first time you've read one of my fried chicken reviews, apologies, but I can't open every single fried chicken review with the same rhetoric. In short, I consider my fried chicken quest to be of a similar scope to Ocarina of Time because I'm overly dramatic like that. I've been pretty blessed on my quest in the last couple of months (definitely not the Water Temple) with places such as The Devonshire Arms, the K-style Jubo, and the reopened Rita's all serving very good chicken. However, Clutch. Yes, that is deliberate verb omission. To sum up Clutch in one word: fcoafoahfgiseduhgisud. I reckon this is probably the sort of review that I'll look back on in a couple of months and wonder what the hell I was thinking - to be honest, I'm probably still drunk on chicken (or high if they've been sprinkling crack into their batter. They almost definitely haven't, but it is exceptionally moreish. Clutch employees, if you're reading this, it's not libel, it's a compliment). If you're smart, you'll have skipped my ramblings above: the tl;dr is that Clutch is a chicken shop. The space itself is pretty small with room for about 20-30 diners. The decor seems to sit halfway between modern gastropub and upmarket bistro (very white, bulbs with giant filaments) and is pretty cosy (especially before they figured out how to stop the heating unit blasting hot air at our necks). There's also a bar attached to the back, and Clutch offer a small selection of cocktails in case you feel a bit too grubby about eating fried chicken and want to counterbalance that with something. Between 5 of us, we had: - 1 bucket of peppery buttermilk fried chicken (between 6-8 pieces usually) - 1/2 bucket of soy and garlic fried chicken - 1 load of parmesan and lemon tenders - 1 bucket of soy wing tips - 2 portions of chips - GRAVY - Slaw To be honest, the best way to review this would be to post a link to me eating. The 'standard' fried chicken was excellent and hands down the best of its ilk that I've tried in London. Thin, crunchy, tasty batter encasing juicy, flavourful happy chicken. No sogginess, no insipid chicken, minimal greasiness. Some people may argue that the batter could do with a little more seasoning, but for me this was perfect. Oh, and the gravy. The gravy is exceptional - intensely flavoured and full of pepper. "Do you mind if I drink the gravy?" "No Rob, go ahead." Music to my ears. Whilst for me the buttermilk chicken was undoubtedly the star of the show, the other dishes didn't disappoint either - the parmesan chicken tenders are pretty good (they were a tiny bit on the dry side, but only marginally so), but the accompanying garlic-truffle aioli is just awesome. The soy garlic sauce items were great too - I like the style, although less so than regular fried chicken as it tends to be less crunchy - but they've got the sauce just right. Again, this was perfectly cooked, so very enjoyable. The bill came out to around £15 per head - whilst not cheap for fried chicken, this was in the same ballpark as the fried chicken from The Devonshire Arms; whilst I could happily have eaten another half bucket, I can chalk that up to a case of me being disgusting rather than me being still hungry. Whilst my fried chicken quest may never truly end, Clutch have acquitted themselves exceptionally well and are quite simply the best in the business in London. Alongside Jubo and Rita's, East London's revival of this noble and sacred art form is a serious hazard to my health and wallet. And I love it. read more

Clutch - Juicy kara-age #1, wowwww ! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - London, XGL

A tasty brunch in the sunshine (and frequent gusts of wind which kept things interesting!) on their astro-turfed front terrace. It's a bit of a trek to get here but you can't help but smile when you spot the bright yellow building on an otherwise fairly drab street. My friend led me astray by ordering a cocktail, so I followed suit with a mimosa (yes this is possibly why I'm friends with her). I could have eaten anything from the compact brunch menu so ended up just ordering the first thing - chicken and waffles! No regrets from me, especially after tasting the bourbon syrup. My friend ordered the sweet and spicy wings with a side of avocado (she likes being unexpected) and was initially daunted when they brought out the 12 wings as she'd forgotten to specify 6. She somehow found room to polish them all off though! Our waiters were chatty and spoke to us like we were their mates which was strangely endearing here. It was easy to while away a leisurely couple of hours nattering away without feeling like we were being rushed. Prices were hipsterly reasonable too! read more

Clutch - winging it ;) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - London, XGL

I feel bad giving this place a low review... and I really really wanted to LOVE it... but I left feeling just blah Pro: -really chic funky place -hidden and would have never guessed such a funky place was down this side street -wonderful interior design and concept con: -overpriced -my husband had the banana bread with turkey beacon and guacamole- both of us did not like it and he normally loves everything... he could barely eat it and did not finish it. -I had the sour & spicy chicken wings £12 with a sickling amount of sauce -We ended up paying over £40 for two small unsatisfying dishes and a lemonade and a beer... felt that it was a bit steep for what it was. if it was drop dead amazing I would not have any issue paying that. -They even charge for sauce (homemade ketchup)! I asked for sauce but was not told it was a charge nor did I expect to pay for ketchup nor did I know that it was going to come out homemade... it was interesting, more like a salsa.. but not bad tasting either read more

I went there on a Sunday to get some brunch. I had really high expectations as the place seems so praiseworthy based on what people had said on Yelp. A friend of mine even had recommended me the place. So let's go!!! I have to say I fell in love with the food. They are meant to be chicken specialists. And they really are. A stone thrown away from the busy flower market, this nice little cafe has much to offer. A lovely terrace, a cool restaurant room where you will end up sharing your table with other people (which is fun if you happen to sit next to orange-ish Brit cliches with fake eyelashes... :) ). And there is a also a bar which was not open though. Their latte was rather good - it is just a latte after all. Nothing much to brag about really. I also had the Clutch Mac Muffin. A yummy double chicken burger with a bit of salad with it. It was really tasty. But bloody hell, it was small... For a tall guy like me I need at least 2 of them. And well that's £10 for this... For that reason I can't really give 5 stars. I had to get something else to eat during the afternoon... My friend went for the Sunday roast - I'll leave you guessing which meat... - and it was pretty good apparently. I would recommend you to go if you are not starving but want something light and good. And then you can pop to the market if you are ready to be surrounded by crowds... read more

Clutch - yummy!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - London, XGL

As a non-chicken eater I have to rely upon my bf's comments that 'this is the best chicken shop in London' however as a veggie, they do good halloumi and killer drinks. The fact that it's run by Irish owners means that you come across nice surprises like Potín being on the cocktail menu! Really cool place for evening drinks and dancing late. read more

Painfully slow. It seemed as if all my stars were aligning for a lovely Sunday on Clutch's patio. A table opened up, my husband and his friend arrived almost simultaneously and our server approached and took our drink orders just as we had sat down. I also put in a food order for myself (the roast!) and a few things for my son to nibble on (chicken tenders, fries, waffle). Things were looking very bright! :::::20 minutes pass::::: waters arrive. ::::::10 more minutes pass:::: beers arrive. ::::45 minutes pass::: food arrives. As I said, painfully slow. It almost seemed as if the staff was stuck in a dream trance. Now given, our server did let me know a fresh batch of roasts was being prepared and so it would be about 20 minutes -- ok fine. 45 minutes? I'm starving and I'm about to start eating the grass. I should've been very clear that my son's food could come immediately. Having a kid wait over an HOUR for food is a lesson in insanity. Luckily, our iphone was fully charged and Peppa pig kept the beast at bay. The roast (£16) was very nice. A very generous portion with stuffing, carrots, potatoes, cabbage and a nice roast chicken. A bit overly salty, but nice! The kid stuff (not really a kid menu but all this stuff fit the bill) was great. The chicken tenders (paremsan) were the most mild of the bunch and the kid loved the waffles, not a surprise! So, the quality of the food great. The patio, lovely. But the service was abysmal. I couldn't really wrap my head around it, but it honestly seemed like they were all moving in slow motion. Several tables around us were also frustrated and annoyed, so it wasn't just us. It wasn't busy, so I'm not really sure what the bottleneck was, it seemed like a lack of urgency. But, that's fixable -- the food is great and it's a wonderful spot for some swell drinks, particularly the cocktails. Give it a go, hope for a better team on the floor. read more

Last night, after a few months of eating only veggies and sometimes fish, I decided I wanted fried chicken.... Not the fried chicken you get at the chicken and pizza shops that reek of rancid oil from a block away. No, I had my eye on Clutch, known for their free range chickens, yummy marinades, and amazing sauces. Oh and the service is warm, welcoming and attentive. Yes, we approve! I loved the honey sesame wings. The sauce is finger licking good and the wings were still crispy. Side note, the place is really fancy inside. We felt under dressed as everyone looked pretty and prepped for a nice date, while we were getting down and dirty with our chicken. The spicy wings were balanced perfectly with a creme franche sauce. My husband loved the soy garlic chicken. It was crunchy and salty. It didn't feel super healthy, but seriously it's fried chicken people. I recommend you try it. read more

Clutch is one of the latest London locations to capitalise on the growing fried chicken food trend - and they do an outstanding job of it. The menu, naturally, is very chicken-centric from the rotisserie chicken brunch menu to the fried chicken dinner menu. It's simple, straight forward, and damn delicious. The fried chicken dinner menu has three main options: half/whole bucket, tenders, and wings. Each option has two unique flavours so you have a decent range. In general, we found the chicken to be tender and moist with a good crispy batter. On the bucket side, I favoured the sweet soy and garlic option over the peppery buttermilk as it had a more potent tangy flavour with some good heat from the sliced red chillies. For the tenders, the parmesan & lemon won out over the curry leaf & sesame (just barely) as I'm a sucker for parmesan cheese but both were top notch items. Finally, the wings served by the dozen were just spectacular with both the sour & spicy chilli and the honey & sesame being devoured in no time at all. I was particularly impressed with the moisture in the chicken wings given this is the part of the bird that easily gets overcooked as well as the abundance of sauce that left us licking our fingers. Becky H opted for a Cackling Goose Cosmo which is a well made cosmopolitan with Grey Goose vodka but...well it's a comso. I went for the Rooster Rumble - in essence a lighter version of a dark & stormy which was well balanced with the sweet ginger beer pairing the deeper heat of the spiced rum. As far as fried chicken goes, this is one of the better ones in London so far. And for £30pp including drinks and service, it's not too bad for a good dinner with friends. read more

I passed about 6 chicken shops on my way to Clutch. Let's face it, east London is rampant with Chicken Cottages, so why are we so excited about this one? Because it's hipster fancy, obviously! Less chance of food poisoning and phone theft too, I'd imagine. We came to Clutch for Yinnie'licious's birthday. It was my first time for Cocks and Cocktails... yes it was, don't believe everything you hear! The place is bigger inside than I expected. The staff are just the loveliest! The cocktail menu is fantastic and what I tasted, I loved. We ordered practically everything on the menu and ate family style. My highlights were the parmesan chicken tenders with truffle aioli (OMG!), stuffing and coleslaw. We all paid about 11 quid each, total bargain! I'd love to go back and order it all over again. read more

Where else are you going to hold a birthday theme called Chung's Chicken and cocktail crawl other than clutch, which serves both chicken and cocktails. (I love alliteration, can you believe it?) So Clutch is a relatively new addition to hoxton's row of chicken places but this is not chicken cottage. So immediately as I walked in, they knew that I made a reservation and they were so accommodating. As we were waiting for the rest of the party, I relaxed and slurped down my chilli chicklet which was just an amazing chilli margherita, just a really well done cocktail. And the names, love it- all chicken puns! (They love puns, I love alliteration- we're like a literary couple that are meant to be together, forever, and ever) I even had a basil cocktail later and the whole party agreed that it was a really special cocktail! (A lot of the cocktails use egg white- for obvious reasons it being a chicken place and all- but they are amazing and you should give it a try) Anyways, let's move onto the chicken, I ordered for the table because I'm the bossy birthday girl, I ordered pretty much the whole menu, because you know, why not. The chickens- bucket, wings, strippers, sides were so chickenlicious! The buttermilk chicken was crispy yet juicy, and the wings were amazing. We demolished a lot of chickens that day. And the bill- it came to eleven pounds each. ELEVEN for the the whole menu. Let's rename this historical event- Chung's Crazy Cheap. Chicken and Cocktail Crawl. I told you I liked alliteration. read more

This was a cute little place that I would definitely go back to again. I planned on taking my bf out for dinner and was craving chicken, but wanted to take him somewhere nice (not Nandos!) and found this place in Hoxton. We walked in at 7pm and very luckily got ourselves a table. If it were later, we would have no chance! The menu was simple, and I think their signature dishes were so good that nothing more was needed. We went for the half bucket of buttermilk chicken, 12 wings, corn on the cob and beets. The beets were were a great choice, very interesting flavors and I highly recommend it. The amount of food was just right for the two of us. The only downside were the drinks which hardly had any alcohol. If you're looking for a place to have pre-drinks then this is not the way to go... read more

Trust a Yelp elite to introduce me to this place, strong cocktails and succulent chicken! Thanks Yinnie C for being a bit older and celebrating this with a birthday. A group of us Yelpers met up here in faraway land of Hoxton - well to me it seemed far anyway! Since we were a bit early, Yinnie C and myself decided to wait in the ajourning bar and sample some of their appropriately named 'cock 'n' tails.' There was definitely some umph in those tails, that's all I'm saying guys! I would suggest having no more than 1, unless of course you enjoy alcohol and then should have them all ;) When everyone arrived we were shown to the restaurant - very Hoxton, it was simply decorated but with a clear style. The menu seemed quite small, so Yinnie C made the executive (and by I mean she decided without asking anyone!) decision to order for us all. We basically got a taste of everything on the menu and did our usual 'share and share alike' style of Yelp cuisine. Always a good idea! So the chicken arrived - wings, thighs, drumsticks galore in various marinades ranging from buttermilk to soy & garlic to a fiery chilli. All were INCREDIBLE. Served with coleslaw, incredible fries and thick gravy. I never thought I'd find proper gravy in London!! Now this wasn't proper Northern style gravy but it was pretty close. My favourite was the soy and garlic, so much so that I stole the last few chips and rest of that marinade just to mop up all those gorgeous flavours. And then I spotted the truffle oil aioli and Oh MY GOD I went to heaven when I tasted that sauce. IN-CRED-IB-LE. I NEED THAT RECIPE. Or just to come back to Clutch, either is more than fine. So once we were suitably stuffed with beautiful flavours, we cowered in fear of the bill. Wait, what? £12 each. SERIOUSLY?! So much of a bargain, which is why this 5* place gets the 5* review. LET'S GO BACK NOW PLEASE!!!! read more

I've only experienced brunch at Clutch, but it is ON POINT friends. The chicken and waffles are a goddamn beauty. Tasty, tasty fried chicken breast with a thin, chewy waffle and streaky bacon that'd make any American proud. Not good enough? How about some bourbon maple syrup. Maximum breakfast food score achieved. read more

Be still my clutching heart! I had the Clutch Mac Muffin which was dee-lish! It's the perfect healthier, more sustainable cousin of the Golden Arches version. I only wished there was more (being greedy). They can't scramble eggs so don't bother asking. The place looked great - very simple room with a bunch of tables. The only thing was that the poor waiter spent so much time shining the golden topped tables until the gleamed. A lot of work! read more

So. Good. My friend and I went there on a hot, sunny Saturday afternoon and it was absolutely lovely. I always thought that chicken is rather boring meat - not at Clutch! I had curry leaf chicken breast and my friend had soy sesame chicken thighs & breasts. His was dark meat in a sweet sauce, deep fried, so it was more delicious. But if you're watching what you eat - go for the curry leaf chicken breast - it's really, really good and I'd say that it was one of the best ways I had a chicken breast. The meat is served with variety of sauce (hot sauce - very good) and sides - I had a green salad - and it was... well a green salad. We also had whisky baked apple drinks, and although I'm not much of a drinker (so I asked for 'less whisky' in mine) - these were absolutely delightful! read more

Ok.. Maybe I was a little harsh and going back has changed things The chicken was great , the cute bar at the back was nice to have a quiet drink ( shame wasn't busier) and service really friendly.. I think I 'll go again.. read more

I felt super-awkward every time I told someone I was so excited to go and get fried chicken at this place I found on Yelp. Everyone I told did this weird side-eye thing and said, "fried chicken?". Even my boyfriend, who loves fried chicken, seemed unsure about going ALL THE WAY to Hackney for what you can basically get on every street in London. But then. We got to Clutch. And nothing was what you'd expect, and everything was as good as my fellow Yelpers had said it would be. The chicken, the gravy, the fries, the slaw, the incredibly nice, all-Irish staff! It was delicious and delightfully lacking in grease, and one of the pieces was a whole chicken breast! A whole fried chicken breast! Did I feel weird about paying £20 for a bucket of chicken, you bet! Was it worth it? My tastebuds say yes. Do I recognise the fried chicken privilege in this review ? Yeah I do. This is not hangover/drunk fried chicken - although I bet it would be amazing if I ate it drunk - this is sweet, delicious comfort food, with all the sides. read more

We really enjoyed our time at Clutch. We had a reservation for seven, but ended work a bit early so rang to see if we could get in earlier. The staff were very accommodating to our reservation change. It was a Tuesday night so the restaurant was quiet, but hey how often do people want fried chicken on a Tuesday?! The waitress was very friendly and attentive. I can be really indecisive and she helped me make selections and seemed to have a real passion for the food. She described everything as 'gorgeous,' which was a just description. This isn't your typical fried chicken restaurant. The food is cooked in ground nut oil, which means that you actually feel healthy eating fried chicken. Despite being fried, the food isn't greasy at all. However, if you have a nut allergy this restaurant probably might kill you! The food even without a nut allergy is to die for. I had lemon and parmesan breast fillets while my husband had soy sauce and chilli wing/leg combo. We both really enjoyed the food and I think that I may have stated that it was the best fried chicken I've ever had! We, thankfully, had room for desert as the brownie was incredible and topped with a candle as a special birthday treat (it was my husband's birthday)! I was very happy to have chosen Clutch to celebrate my husband's birthday and we really had a fantastic evening. I would happily return to Clutch and I am rarely someone who eats fried chicken! read more

How many ways can you cook chicken? How many ways can you cook really tasty chicken? I'm guessing you can't cook it as many tasty ways as Clutch can! Group of 4 so enough of us to try several of their options and share them between us. The sweet soy garlic and lemon & parmesan were so so good. Homemade coleslaw was fresh and not heavy with mayonnaise...made me wish we'd got their beet salad too. We had a couple of cocktails in their bar before sitting down to dinner and they were pretty good too. Really friendly service and chilled atmosphere. read more

Super yummy food! Great staff and a really pleasant atmosphere. Love to come here at any opportunity! Great portion size for price but the cocktails probably bump up the bill a bit. read more

I went for the honey and sesame chicken wings where my partner had the soy garlic chicken. Both were great and the portions were huge. So I would recommend to share the sides. Don't be put off by the area, inside is fully refurbished pub turned restaurant, and still has that quirky factor. The staff were lovely and you must try a Missy Elliot cocktail. In regards to the price. Our bill came to 70 pound for two, and we shared sides. I think the drinks are the ones that top up the bill. Worth checking out! read more

Good chicken and great customer service. Our waitress was really nice and friendly and gave us really good menu suggestions.

Best chicken around. Sides are amazing. Chatty friendly staff. Bar at the back too. So much fun, such good food.

Been here a couple of times. Apart from excellent produce and preparation (the scrambled eggs are great), the service has always been extremely warm and efficient. Great brunch, Sunday roast and cocktails. We're yet to try the fried chicken in the evening so will definitely be back soon. read more

Chicken was meh - got the lemon & parmesan cheese breast fillets. It was certainly tender, but the flavour was nothing to write home about. For the price definitely wasn't worth it. Fries were really good, with an amazing truffle aioli sauce - definitely the highlight. By far the worst part was the service. When I asked for a recommendation, the waitress answered in a very lecturing tone about how she doesn't make recommendations because people have different tastes. She then said "what kind of chicken do you like? Because that's what you should order. That's what you will like." Thanks. Really helpful. Didn't think of asking myself that. We were considering ordering a sauce with the fries and she said "it's only £1 so it really doesn't cost that much" as if cost was a big consideration for us. It was pretty offensive. Def wont go back. read more

I stopped by clutch after dropping by Columbia road flower market because my mates and I were famished on a cold Sunday morning. I walked past it before and was attracted to the cheery exterior of the building (bright yellow!) and thought it was some sort of hipster house. Turns out they serve pretty good chicken! It's pretty affordable, at about £12 a bucket of chicken, which sounds steep, but when you bite into the chicken, boy are you in for a roller coaster of tastes. We tried their spicy wings and their honey soy wings, both of which left us with incredible mouthfeels. This is perfect for a rainy day (and lord knows how many of those we get in London), a great spot to stop by for chicken if you're in the area! Staff were also very friendly and lovely to talk to, plus the interior decor really makes you feel warm and cosy inside. Love it. read more

If my waistline would allow for it, I would probably eat here every day. As it stands, you can usually find me clutching (get it? har, har) one of their truly delicious cocktails and dipping a sweet and soy tender into a pot of their homemade Roasted Garlic Crème Fraiche at least a couple of times a week. Yes, it helps that they are only a few minutes walk from my flat, but this place is worth a journey if you have to make one. On top of the great food and exceptional drinks, the people who work here are among the coolest and nicest you'll run into anywhere. Need more persuading? Their playlists are hands down the best I have ever heard in any restaurant. Damn. Now I'm hungry. read more

Really nice, chilled, easy going place with great decor, friendly staff. We had the chicken and waffle, sssooo good, and the cocktails are just as good. read more

Not one to drop a note where it isnt due but just had an awful meal here. Brunch promises so much on a hot sunny Sunday but we were left clutching our wallets and our stomachs after todays visit. It started well with enthused and professional staff waxing lyrical about the chicken. However the end result from the kitchen failed to deliver. The turkey hash was a double dose of thick and uninspiring turkey patty that felt more like a cheap burger gone wrong. The chicken wings were underdone and lacked the texture or crispyness the wings and sauce deserved. "Free range chicken has a lot of blood in the veins and tendons" claimed the charming service staff. Fair enough but not so when they are cooked through. All in all with a £9 charge for a couple of poached eggs and a side of fries and an extra charge for the homemade ketchup I think we all felt slightly hard done. Perhaps if we had opted for the chicken waffles we might have been different. They looked great. read more

Ordered via Deliveroo, the most overpriced and average tasting chicken I've had. Very small pieces and pretty bland. £50 for a dinner for two, for that price it should be amazing but really was very disappointing. You're better off going to your local halal fried chicken place. I would avoid. read more
