Temple of Seitan

Vegan Fast-Food Pioneer

Fast Food / Vegan Fried Chicken

If you are craving pure, unapologetic junk food, Temple of Seitan is an absolute must-visit. They revolutionized the UK’s plant-based fast-food scene by perfecting their legendary crispy, deeply seasoned seitan "chicken."

This isn't health food; it’s pure comfort. Expect towering double-patty burgers dripping with vegan cheese and mayo, perfectly spiced popcorn chicken bites, and mac and cheese that hits every single nostalgic craving. Everything is famously made entirely from wheat protein (seitan), capturing the exact texture and pull of traditional fried chicken.

Situated near the iconic locks and markets of Camden, the vibe is predominantly a fast-paced takeout spot with a heavy alternative aesthetic. It’s the perfect place to grab a quick, highly satisfying bite to fuel up before catching a gig or wandering around the area's famous vintage stalls.
