Lucky Fried Chicken at The Grafton


Love fried Chicken? Tired of the Kentucky colonel and the clucking cottage? Well luckily for you Lucky Chip are here to save you from mundane  and average fried chicken. Building on their street food success and their Soho slider bar they are taking on another residency besides the Seabright arms. This time setting up shop in Kentish Town in a wonderfully renovated local, called The Grafton.

The menu takes on certain characteristics from the franchises mentioned above. You can have a snack box a larger bucket meal of a chicken burger. Sides include beautiful mash and gravy, fries, tangy slaw, a great potato salad and dinner rolls. The portion sizes are generous and the prices are reasonable, a more than filling snack box for under a tenner.  On Wednesdays weekly specials of chicken livers, duck hearts and gizzards are on offer. Sundays will see roasted not fried meals, with lucky chip maintaining the pubs popular Sunday roasts.  The Grafton have gone all out in redoing their first floor dining area with a new bar and 50s style menu board. The Grafton's cocktail menu is also a good accompaniment or just have a prize winning Hells larger to wash it all down with. Only issue being the lack of real cutlery we had to make do with wooden cutlery (a pet peeve) although this might have been an early opening issue.

Lucky chip or rather Lucky Fried Chicken in this instance have only been in operation at the Grafton for the past week or so but is proving popular already. Apparently it will turn into the more original lucky chip burger bar in a few weeks. One things for sure though you definitely need to head down to the Grafton, 20, Prince of Wales Road, NW5 for some finger licking good food!
