Welcome to world of Chick ‘n’ Sours - the home of next level fried chicken, the Whole Fry (yes a whole fried chicken), sour cocktails & good vibes only.
We are the OG’s of elevated fried chicken with two restaurants in London serving up some serious crispy & tasty fried chicken creations with SE Asian inspired flavours since 2015.
We have an independent spirit and a welcoming, inclusive culture. Our people are appreciated for who they and we treat everyone with kindness & respect. If that sounds like a bit of you then read on.
Post Covid we decided to take Chick ‘N’ Sours on the road. It’s been a great success and we haven’t looked back. We now have a wicked food truck, 3 other ‘gazebo’ set ups and a shipping container on a rooftop venue on top of a car park in Stratford.
