  1. I’m stealing the phrase “petrol station tapas”

  2. Every time a lovindublin link gets shared, an angel gets gonorrhoea

  3. Chicken fillet rolls aren’t really a thing elsewhere so far as I know so I don’t actually have an issue with this. Fair play to them.

  4. The hype will die down after the London Irish get over it. But a clever niche tbf.

  5. Someone selling something for an unreasonable price in a foreign country. Disgraceful.

  6. As someone who lived in London for several years, there are days you would pay anything just for a chicken fillet roll. The lack of being able to grab a quick fresh roll for lunch is very annoying

  7. Don’t think I’ve ever seen a chicken roll for sale on the street.

  8. Chicken fillet rolls are being sold in Sydney for nearly 20 dollars according to my sister

    * I looked it up, 26 dollars and a breakfast roll is almost 30 dollars!!

  9. Looks damn tasty. Fair play to em if they’re making bank off it.

  10. I am convinced I could make a fortune with chicken fillet rolls here in Taiwan. Or just an ‘irish deli’ in general.

  11. If this means proper garlic cheese chips will come to London eventually I’m all for this.

  12. What does the author think “street food” is? It’s not like it’s defined by only being sold from carts. Irish deli counter food pretty much hits the category. 

  13. If someone will pay for it, fair play for selling it. Gotta make money.

  14. €29,99 rice with seafood is being labelled as Spanish paella in Dublin restaurants 🤷‍♂️

  15. There’s one place in Toronto that sells chicken fillet and breakfast rolls. 18 dollars each

  16. Sure I paid €7.50 for a breakfast roll last week in a pokey greasy spoon in Dublin!

    Got into the car thinking it was a mistake, went back in and they said nope that’s the price of them. Never going back in there again and gave them a 1 star review on Maps. And it was a shite roll too, was still dying from a hangover after it.

  17. YS and soon all the brits will be bankrupt afte they become addiceted to our national delicacy!

    MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!

  18. no they’re not. someone put up a tiktok calling them irish street food. the actual vendor hasn’t

  19. Doesn’t look like any Chicken Fillet roll I’ve bought from Centra or anywhere tbh.

  20. I find really odd that only place that does this. It’s not that odd a think two make

  21. I’ve only been in Berlin for two weeks for erasmus now and holy shit I miss chicken rolls it’s not even funny anymore

  22. Chicken fillet rolls and spice bags are Irish street food. We are class.

  23. I live in London and like everyone was well into this idea when I heard about it. I had it a couple of weeks back and it was shite. Chicken was black from being deep fried too long, fillings were limited, roll was stale, drinks were warm, the lads doing it were getting every order wrong and it took like 10 mins to get one roll.. and all for £8. I’m well up for someone getting a quality chicken filet roll thing going here but this is just a bunch of chancers. 

    Someone needs to do it properly. Get some proper cuisine de France rolls, bake the chicken, have a good selection of fillings. Maybe get some branding to make it look like the stickers they put on the roll in a centra deli. Ingredients can be cheap, it doesn’t have to be gourmet or complicated.

    I just hate the fact it’s a bunch of eejits makin shite and chargin a fortune because it’s London.  

  24. As much as we like to mock the comedians who say so, chicken rolls and spice bags do seem to be uniquely Irish. I don’t live in London anymore, but I’d have probably gone mad for roll over there rather than shite from Greggs or Pret. Bit expensive, but that’s London prices for you, especially when there’s no competition.

  25. Only fat, dumb cunts like the Irish would have beige, deep fried bullshit like a chicken Fillet roll that’s been under deli lights for 4 hours as their “national dish”. Anyone paying a fiver plus for this shite should hang their head in shame
