About Koop & Kraft

When we first opened our doors in 2018, we had a vision: to give Waterlooville something it could be proud of.

The idea began with a love for “posh fried chicken,” something that’s affectionately been known as dirty food. Over the years, that vision has evolved, and Koop+Kraft has grown into a steakhouse offering our classic burgers and fried chicken as well as mouthwatering steaks.

What hasn’t changed is the passion behind it all—serving high-quality comfort food with a twist. Koop+Kraft has become a favourite spot for locals to gather, whether it’s for a celebration or a relaxed evening out.
