Dave’s Hot Chicken, the cult fried chicken brand born in L.A. and championed by Drake, is turning up the heat once again with two new UK restaurants – Stevenage and Westfield White City.
Following the huge success of its London flagship on Shaftesbury Avenue, and recently opened sites in Birmingham New Street and Manchester Printworks, Dave’s continues to spread its wings across the UK, bringing its signature fiery sliders, tenders, and loaded shakes to even more fans.
Stevenage
The first stop is Stevenage, where Dave’s Hot Chicken will land on Friday 3rd October at Stevenage Leisure Park. Nestled in the busy retail and leisure hub, this opening is set to be the most “American” Dave’s in the UK to date – complete with curbside pickup, making it feel like a slice of Los Angeles has touched down in Hertfordshire. Whether grabbing dinner before a film, or swinging by to pick up a fiery feast on the go, Stevenage is set to become a must-visit for locals and visitors alike.
Westfield (White City)
Following Steveanage, Dave’s will launch its first site in a retail space at Westfield White City on Friday 24th October. Unlike traditional shopping centre food court dining, this location has a standalone identity, offering a bold and immersive dining space right in the heart of one of London’s busiest retail destinations. Perfect for shoppers, day-trippers, and leisure seekers, Westfield White City is set to serve up the ultimate mix of heat and flavour in style.
Both restaurants will showcase distinctive, street art-inspired interiors, echoing the unique design DNA found across Dave’s U.S. locations, while offering the full fan-favourite menu – from seven spice levels of Nashville-style hot chicken to sides, shakes, and icy Slushers.
Jim Attwood, Managing Director of Dave’s Hot Chicken UK, said: “Stevenage and Westfield White City are important steps for us as we grow across the UK. Stevenage is our first suburban leisure park location with a strong L.A. influence, while Westfield White City places us in one of London’s busiest shopping destinations. We’re excited to open our doors and welcome both new and returning fans.”
The new openings build on Dave’s explosive UK growth, signalling the next chapter in its national expansion. With its trademark street art, bold interiors, and signature heat-packed menu, Dave’s Hot Chicken continues to cement its place as one of the UK’s hottest names in fast casual dining.
