Since the vegan fried chicken shop first opened, Temple of Seitan has had a cult following.

The problem with restaurants with cult followings? It’s next to impossible to actually have a try of their food, because each and every day, queues are out of the door. Agh.

For months, hungry vegans have wanted to visit, strolled by the Hackney shop, then kept on walking the moment they saw a bunch of other hungry vegans waiting to get their hands on some crispy fried seitan.

Well, no more.


Temple of Seitan has officially confirmed the opening of a second London branch.

That’s right, gang. Soon there’ll be a second Temple of Seitan location, meaning the queues are bound to go down a touch. Hooray.



The new shop will open in Camden in January 2018, and, to make this news extra exciting, this one will actually have indoor seating – no more crouching on the floor to ‘Gram your vegan double down.

It’ll be called Temple of Camden, and the owners have called it a ‘proper restaurant’ rather than their standard takeaway spot.

So rejoice, North London dwellers. Soon you’ll be able to get your paws on all manner of vegan junk food without trekking to Hackney or having to queue for ages just to take your food back home with you.

What a wonderful time to be alive.
