Vegan junk food: chik'n buckets, burgers, mac & cheese
"Hackney’s Temple Of Seitan is a go-to for vegans craving wings and chips in London. The spot is a bougie ode to chicken shops, but no birds were involved in these popcorn bites and burgers. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Pause Unmute We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Daisy Meager
"Juicy, hefty slabs of deep-fried seitan (what gluten): springy, sausage-linke in texture, with creamy, tangy mac ‘n’ cheese are favourites here, with subs, burgers and gluten-free ‘chicken’ popcorn also on offer. Not so fast food if you’re at the back of the queue, though." - Sophie Wilkinson
"Seitan is basically pure gluten. But Temple of Gluten sounds like an anti-celiac cult, so this name is definitely better. The Camden branch, which is also pretty much King’s Cross, is ideal if you want to pick up an all natural £7 faux-chicken burger to munch in front of the telly." - Jake Missing
"The city's go-to for vegan fried 'chicken,' which began as a pop-up and has expanded to a permanent site on Morning Lane in Hackney and additional outlets in Camden, prized for recreating the texture and flavour of fried chicken." - Laurel Ives
"A London venue that has developed a cult following for its vegan seitan “fried chicken,” known for turning plant-based versions of classic comfort dishes into crowd-pleasing items." - Andrew Leitch
