Strutting its stuff on Coldharbour Lane in Brixton, Fancy Funkin Chicken is a chicken shop and bar, designed to elevate the humble chicken into something a bit fancier.

Fancy Funkin Chicken is a new concept from a dynamic trio of hospitality industry insiders, Nathan Pattie (Co-founder of PIX), Rollo Weeks (formerly Sketch) and Lars Larson (formerly Cuckoo).

It features an enticing menu of traditional herbed and spiced free-range fried chicken - using ethically sourced birds crusted with a Southern American recipe - highlights include a kicking trio of Funkin Hot Wings, Funkin Funkin Hot Wings and I Can’t Feel My Funkin Face Hot Wings. Wings and boneless bites feature alongside a hearty selection of fried or flame grilled chicken breast and burgers alongside indulgent side orders. 

The 50-cover dining room’s interior evokes an urban, raw and residential warmth. Hand-crafted antique and neon lighting, quirky furnishings, stencil art and a garden of herbs suspended overhead make for an alluring pen. Fancy Funkin Chicken plays host to an eclectic and upbeat music programme of Jazz and Funk, with DJ’s performing from Thursday through to Sunday to get the party started.
