Yes, we want fries with everything (Picture: Come Fry With Me)

London’s newest foodie trend is restaurants that only serve one thing. Because who wants choice really?

There’s Burger & Lobster (does what it says on the tin), the Cereal Killer Cafe (hipsters gone mad in the cereal aisle) and the protein-rich Bad Egg.

We thought we’d become numb to the novelty restaurant, those trendy one-tricky ponies, but that’s until we heard about Come Fry With Me. It’s a restaurant that only serves chips. They had us at chips.

Come Fry With Me (which, for some unknown reason, has an aviation theme; a somewhat over-elaborate set up for two bad puns – yes, there is a Mile Fry Club) will open permanently in Covent Garden in the autumn.


The aviation theme is slightly superfluous (Picture: Come Fry With Me)

But you can have a sneak preview today (July 22) – they’re popping up at Box Park – or this weekend (July 24-26) at the Clapham Foodies festival.

Before you roll your eyes, let us describe the menu for you. You can choose between fries flavoured with melting truffle and parmesan, sticky Marmite, and curry, or you can have your fries topped with steak and stilton, chilli con carne, or bacon and melted cheese.

And there’s the perennial favourite – the chip butty.

Or, if the common potato isn’t your thing, you can have a medley of parsnip, courgette and carrot fries, or, of course, the modern classic – sweet potato fries.



If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em we say. Now, who do we talk to about speedy boarding?

Come Fry With Me opens in October. Check out the menu here and book tickets for this weekend’s Clapham Common Foodies Festival here.
