Our Story

44 years. Same corner. Same family.

Where It Started

From Cyprus to Tottenham, 1981

The Tryfonos family brought their love of food from Cyprus to the heart of Tottenham. In 1981, they opened Chick King on the High Road.

The recipe was simple: fresh chicken, proper seasoning, generous portions. It worked from day one.

Over 40 years later, that same recipe is why people keep coming back.
