Popeyes is finally opening its first ever sit-down restaurant in the UK.
The Louisiana fried chicken chain launched in the UK back in November 2021 after opening in Westfield Stratford's food court.
In the east London site it offered takeaway chicken sandwiches, biscuits, gravy and so much more.
And it proved a storming success, ranking in the top 10 globally for sales out of 3,600 Popeyes restaurants.
As such the company is looking to expand, bringing its "authentic New Orleans experience" to the rest of the country.
The menu will feature all of the iconic items, including Popeyes' delicious 12-hour marinated chicken.
