A short walk from Holborn Underground, Chicken Shop serves rotisserie chickens that are marinated overnight, steamed and then spit-roasted over charcoal.
Our chicken is halal.

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.

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.

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.

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.
