With venues in Old Compton Street, Hoxton, London Bridge and beyond The Breakfast Club features a menu that's all about bringing together the world of breakfast and dinner with some spectacular chicken and waffles. Head downstairs afterwards and you'll find one of the most interesting secret bars in the business.

Cocotte Shoreditch

If you're a fan of the finger-lickin' stuff, then you're gonna want a taste of Cocotte. From crispy chicken on freshly baked croissant waffles to rotisserie birds sourced from the Loire Valley, this is French food at its finest. Head to Hoxton for all this and cracking cocktails to boot.

Little Bat

Little Bat, the beloved neighbourhood bar in Islington, has joined forces with Chef James Cochran to launch a brand-new restaurant menu centred around his standout jerk fried chicken glazed with fiery Scotch Bonnet jam.

Cochran's famous fried chicken returns to Islington with bold flavours that perfectly complement Little Bat's expert-crafted classic martinis. The menu also features a showstopper fried chicken burger, loaded with gravy mayo, crispy chicken skin, and a rich truffle emulsion, a must-try for any fried chicken fan.
