The Soho House Group has announced plans to open a new Chicken Shop in Kentish Town.

Although this will be very much like the kind of chicken shop we expect from Kentish town road in the sense that rotisseries chicken will be on offer as well as other chicken based treats this chicken will be free range and part of the gourmet fast food movement we spoke about last week.

The chicken on offer in the Chicken Shop will be flown in from Norfolk’s Banham farm, and then marinated overnight in a special recipe and steamed to lock in flavour and keep the meat succulent before being put on a rotisserie.

The first Chicken Shop from Soho House will open on the 20th August selling  rotisserie free-range chicken, quartered, halved or whole next door to Pizza East.

This is yet another in the multiple openings of speciality chicken offerings in London including Mark Hix’s new Tramshed restaurant and Cass Titcombe’s Roost.

The restaurant will be styled to mimic a 1950′s American general store and will seat 40 people with takeaway available too.
