Chick 'N' Sours arrives at Seven Dials
Chick ‘n’ Sours secured an exclusive second site at Seven Dials, and will open in mid-September.
The new store will have a reimagined fried chicken menu of free-range herb-fed fried chicken, sides, flavours, sour cocktails, local beers & soft-serve ice-cream creations.
The new 40-cover site, at 1 Earlham Street, Seven Dials, the latest move for Carl Clarke and his business partner David Wolanski.
The core menu will remain "short and straightforward" and will include 'THAT Korean Fried Chicken Bun and Szechuan Aubergine'. There will also be new additions to the menu such as the Hot & Numbing Disco Wings and Xian Xian Tenders, which is already being trialled at the brand's East London site. The signature House Fry is finished off with a unique “seaweed crack” seasoning & served with pickled watermelon. The Guest Fry will change on a seasonal basis and is inspired by travels and other countries’ interpretations of fried chicken.
The side dishes at the Seven Dials include the Charred Hispi with chilli, kimchi salad cream and bacon, or Coal-grilled corn with Berkswell cheese, lime and coriander, or White Sprouting broccoli with seaweed mayo and a tea-pickled egg.
Weekends will see brunch menus complete with classics including the towering Brunch Bun – fried thigh, gochujang mayo, bacon, fried egg, avocado, Asian slaw, & Sriracha sour cream - and will introduce some new additions such as Cornbread & Kimchi waffle, poached eggs, chicken skin and Ssam sauce hollandaise.
The new store will have its own unique interpretation of the House Sour in Haggerston using blackberries and finished with Womersleys Farm’s Lavender, Lime & Black Pepper vinegar.
Clarke said, "We couldn’t be happier with the location & the site, bang in the West End of London. Nothing changes though in terms of what we are all about - it’ll be the same wicked vibe & spirit that we’ve brought to everything we’ve done since our first parties years back. We’re extremely grateful to Shaftesbury for giving us the chance to help make the Seven Dials shine.”
Chick ‘n’ Sours Seven Dials will be open seven days a week and will be open every day for lunch. Bookings will be welcomed and a new lunchtime only take-away menu will be available.
