Chickenish has been impressing vegans and non-vegans alike since 2021.
Born as a fully plant-based street food brand with a mission to recreate the chicken shop experience without any chicken, they made a big splash on their arrival and immediately built a pretty unstoppable momentum. From the very beginning they went viral, picking up a loyal following who understood what they were trying to do AND who loved the taste.
Often found hanging around vegan and vegan-friendly events in London, in 2026 Chickenish is spreading its wings a little broader.

They have a busy summer ahead, including a series of concerts at Crystal Palace running from June 26 through to July 4, bringing their signature plant-based chicken shop energy to huge crowds.
You’ll also find them at State Fayre festival June 26-28, Love Supreme July 3-5, Finsbury Park gigs July 3-5, Latitude festival July 23-26, Camp Bestival July 30-August 2, Boiler Room July 31-August 1, Jazz Cafe August 2, Vegan Camp Out Out August 14-16, Reading festival August 27-30, and of course London Vegan Beer Fest on September 19 in Mile End.
If you have not tried Chickenish yet, you will almost certainly have a chance soon. And if you already know them, you will understand exactly why they are getting booked to cook at this many festivals.
This is some of the best vegan fast food on the planet and it’s getting easier this summer to get your hands on it!
