Chicken lovers, clear your calendars. KFC and La Vieille Ferme are joining forces for a pairing that simply makes sense. One brings the bucket. One brings the bottle. Together? They’re serving the summer’s most delicious chicken love story.
This August Bank Holiday, Shoreditch plays host to Coq au Vin, a brand-new wine bar where KFC’s legendary fried chicken meets La Vieille Ferme’s iconic French wine in a pairing that practically writes itself, complete with plenty of (wine) buckets.
Taking over Kachette Annex from 28th–31st August, Coq au Vin will be pouring La Vieille Ferme’s most-loved selection,
Think tenders with rosé. Hot wings with red. Popcorn chicken with fizz. It’s less ‘wine tasting’ and more ‘why haven’t we been doing this all along?’. And to make the pairing even more iconic, La Vieille Ferme is bringing back its legendary ‘Chicken Wine’ label exclusively for the event.
For too long, wine has been hanging out with the same crowd. Coq au Vin is here to shake things up for the chicken obsessed, pairing KFC with La Vieille Ferme in a match-up that’s been hiding in plain sight all along.
Phoebe Syms, fame & partnerships lead at KFC UK & Ireland, said: “We’re iconic fried chicken. They’re the iconic Chicken Wine. Coq au Vin is one of those partnerships that just makes sense – and frankly, we can’t believe it’s taken this long. This August bank holiday, it’s poulet all day!”
Andrew Bayley, managing director at Famille Perrin UK, said: “Bringing the nation’s favourites together in a unique juxtaposition is all about celebrating the unexpected. Coq au Vin is a playful take on the principle that great wine and great food don’t have to follow the rules…a pop-up collaboration that makes customers cross the road.”
