Places To Enjoy The Roast Chicken Renaissance

"Coincidentally this South Bank restaurant has the same motto as us when we’re hungover; ‘for the love of chicken’. Someone put that on a bumper sticker and whilst you’re at it, buy us a car, so we can use said bumper sticker. Their menu also states that it’s ‘a respectful and imaginative take on this mighty bird’. Marsha finally giving roast chicken the street cred it deserves, we love to see it. Although the service here can be a little flighty (pun very much not intended) during busy periods, there’s no denying that their chicken fresh from a farm in Yorkshire is some of the best in London. They’ve got everything from glazed chicken heart to crispy maple glaze thighs available, but we suggest that you keep things simple with the half chicken with spring slaw, triple-cooked fries, and house pickles. Seeing as this spot directly overlooks the Thames, a couple of Brambles in the sunshine alongside their juicy chicken won’t hurt either." - heidi lauth beasley
