About Chicken Shop

On Wardour St, Chicken Shop serves fried chicken built around a double crunch coating recipe developed over several years. The menu covers chicken burgers, tenders, and wings, alongside handcrafted dips and sides, with fries and shakes as regular pairings. The kitchen serves halal. Ordering happens at a kiosk, and a buzzer signals when food is ready for self-serve pickup at the counter. It's a walk-in setup with no reservations. The space is small, though seating is available for those eating in rather than taking food away.

Customer Review Summary

Crispy chicken draws the most consistent praise, with reviewers repeatedly describing it as crispy and juicy and calling the quality some of the best chicken they've had. Close behind, specific menu items get singled out: the spicy chicken burger meal, the K-pop loaded fries, the Honey Soy Popcorn Chicken with its addictive sauce, and the tenders sandwich, alongside shakes that reviewers say hit the spot. Several also flag the crispy fries as a standout. Service comes up often too, with the kiosk and buzzer pickup system called quick and smooth, and staff described as friendly and attentive, checking in on diners even during busy periods. One reviewer pushes back on the overall hype, calling the chicken burger's meat good but lacking "wow factor," disliking an odd sauce on a smaller sandwich, and concluding it's "just another average fried chicken joint" despite praising the fries, cola, and seating. Portion size gets a passing caution from one diner, who warns the servings can leave you feeling very full.

    “I ordered the Honey Soy Popcorn Chicken and a little Strawberry Shake, and both were absolutely delicious! 😋 The sauce on the popcorn chicken was especially amazing — packed with flavour and seriously addictive. As an Aussie visiting London, I’d honestly recommend this over KFC. It’s tastier, feels like much better value for money, and the food was really satisfying. The staff also deserve a shout-out — friendly, efficient, and attentive. I noticed they were constantly keeping the restaurant clean and tidy, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for something tasty, affordable, and better than your typical fast-food experience! 🍗🥤”

    “The staff, cleanliness, and comfy seating are top notch, but the menu is definitely overrated. The chicken burger has good quality meat but zero wow factor, and the smaller sandwich I tried had a really odd sauce I did not like. Honestly, the fries and cola were the best things I ordered. It isn't a bad place, but keep your expectations in check. It is just another average fried chicken joint.”

Highlights

“#1 for fried chicken on Google Reviews. Chicken Shop has one misson: To serve Londoners the best fried chicken on the planet! Formerly known as Chik'n, we've spent years perfecting our unique doublecrunch coating and we're obsessed with flavours, quality products and making people feel good. We serve burgers, tenders, wings, handcrafted dips and sides, and we're proud to serve Halal.”
