"Starting out with a unit in Boxpark, where they made their name with wings and fried chicken sandwiches, the trio expanded, opening full-service restaurants in Soho, Finsbury Park and King's Cross, as well as running a busy delivery operation. They've just added a fourth in the City, which marks an evolution for the brand. The offering has grown to include roast and grilled birds, salads and rice bowls, with Asian flavours woven into the menu."
"You can do wings, which come in various glazes like laksa butter, K-BBQ and buffalo, and you can do fried chicken, which comes in sandwiches. We tried the Nashville Hot with green slaw, pickles and chipotle mayo - though we would have liked it spicier, the chicken was well-fried and crispy, and the ratio of pickles and condiments was on point - and we overheard plenty of orders for the Green Chilli Cheese one too."
"Don't sleep on the roast chicken though; the skin is burnished, the meat is juicy and it was drenched in Thai flavours thanks to a chilli, lemongrass, lime, garlic and fish sauce marinade and a nam jim jaew butter. The dips are all flavour bombs too. We loved the laksa butter and the miso gravy but we'd happily have 'em all."
Coqfighter, founded by Troy, Tristan and Deacon, expanded from a Boxpark unit into full-service sites in Soho, Finsbury Park, King's Cross and now Liverpool Street. The Liverpool Street outlet broadens the menu to include roast and grilled birds, salads and rice bowls alongside signature wings and fried chicken sandwiches. Wings feature glazes such as laksa butter, K-BBQ and buffalo; sandwiches include a Nashville Hot with green slaw, pickles and chipotle mayo. The roast chicken is marinated in chilli, lemongrass, lime, garlic and fish sauce with nam jim jaew butter. Dips like laksa butter and miso gravy are standout flavour components, while many salads use creamy dressings. The space features a smart italic logo, branded plates and stainless-steel and red interiors, with cocktails and beers available.
