Ruby Jeans Burgers - London, Portobello Road

Ruby Jeans Burgers has carved out a loyal following on Portobello Road, where hungry Londoners and visitors alike queue for their signature fried chicken. This isn't just another chicken shop—the kitchen takes its bird seriously, using a carefully seasoned buttermilk marinade before each piece gets a double-coating in their house flour blend. The result is that perfect shatter-crust crunch that holds up even on the walk home through Notting Hill's market crowds. They've earned a solid Food Hygiene Rating too, which only adds to the confidence when ordering.

Their menu leans into bold, unapologetic flavours—think the Nashville Hot burger, where the chicken comes glazed in a cayenne-spiked oil that builds heat without overwhelming the meat, or the more restrained but equally satisfying Classic Buttermilk burger with pickles and a tangy slaw. The chips here deserve a mention as well, thick-cut and dusted with a secret seasoning blend. Whether you're grabbing lunch after browsing the antiques or need a late-night fix, Ruby Jeans delivers that perfect balance of crunch and comfort. Order direct from their site and skip the queues.
