"Where there is chicken, there must also be potatoes. That is just a fact of UK life, along with bad summer weather and accepting that you’ll turn into Hulk Hogan everytime you witness someone cut a queue. Cocotte understands this, as not only do they do ultimate chicken soul mate, baby potatoes, they’ve also got mashed potatoes, truffle mash, and fries available. A chilled all day restaurant in Hoxton Square, this place is all about juicy free-range chicken with their signature gravy, and they also do a quarter which makes it a rare find on the buzzing London whole-chicken scene. Yes, we just used the word ‘buzzing’ in relation to roast chicken. Sue us." - heidi lauth beasley
