From the humble hamburger to the New York slice, when it comes to comfort grub our friends across the pond have hit the nail on the head, and nothing proves that more than the salty, sweet and satisfying combination of chicken and waffles. Great for breakfast, even better for brunch and the ultimate brinner dish, restaurants across the capital are flocking to offer their own take on the soul food classic, so we've rounded up the best places in London to eat chicken and waffles.

Steak And Company, Gloucester Road

Nestled in the heart of Kensington is Steak and Company, a restaurant with a farm-to-fork approach to cooking and a high-energy atmosphere. Every Saturday, it hosts a bottomless brunch starting from £30 per person which sees vintage trip performances and free-flowing cocktails take over the venue. And on the menu? Buttermilk waffles and chicken, of course, alongside 90 minutes of your favourite drink. All your drinks are included in the price of your ticket, securing you 50% off food as well.

Forget steakhouse breakfasts - the buttermilk waffles and chicken's where it's at.

Breakfast Club, City-Wide

Channelling the glory days of Northern Soul and modelled on old working men’s club (as well as the famous Wigan Casino), The Breakfast Club in Canary Wharf, London Bridge, Hoxton and beyond is a must-visit for lovers of quirky brunch venues. And it’s not just the decor that’s off-kilter – their take on fried chicken and waffles comes with a panko-coated twist and a side of American gravy, caramelised onions and a fried egg.

This true blue take on the classic dish brings American gravy and panko-coated chicken to the table.

Prince of Peckham, Peckham

With White Men Can't Jerk in the kitchen, Queen's Road's Prince of Peckham is serving up some of the most perfectly spiced fried chicken in South London at their brunch for £14.50 a pop. Add some soft, fluffy waffles, pour over some maple butter - maybe add some bottomless booze and rum cocktails to the mix - and you've got a real recipe for success.

Pair your chicken and waffles with maple butter and bottomless fizz and you've got the Prince of Peckham special.

The 411, Angel

The 411's weekend brunch menu offers you fried chicken and waffles for just £12, complete with none other than a smothering of maple syrup and butter. But that's not all, as you can add on bottomless drinks every Sunday for £25 - accompanying your meal with mimosas, bloody marys and bubbles.

Make it a bottomless affair here.

BrewDog, City-Wide

Offering one of the best chicken and waffle brunches in London, BrewDog in Camden, Waterloo, Shepherd's Bush and beyond are cooking up something a little spicier than your standard spread. Their fabulous fried chicken comes smothered in a mix of whipped maple butter and zingy hot sauce - the perfect pick-me-up for pairing with fresh coffee or, more likely, a few of their award-winning pints.

BrewDog have jumped on the bandwagon with a hot sauce-smothered option.

Cocotte, Shoreditch

Okay, so you've had chicken and waffles, but have you had chicken and croissant waffles? Get yourself over to Shoreditch where Cocotte is creating some of the tastiest hybrids in the breakfast game. The Hoxton Square restaurant will be topping these flaky beauts with sweet chilli-basted chicken thighs, a fried egg and their special sauce.

Cocotte's croissant waffles are taking your brunch game up a notch.

Dirty Bones, Carnaby and Soho

Dirty Bones are the best in the business when it comes to chicken and waffles in central London, with outposts in both Carnaby and Soho. Inspired by the ever-changing food scene of New York City, these guys are dishing out the tastiest breakfast plates - including a koji and buttermilk crispy fried chicken thigh, topped with a fried egg and maple syrup and placed on a freshly baked waffle. They even offer a duck version too if you feel like switching it up.
