About this restaurant

Lively

Yardbird is our rotisserie chicken restaurant upstairs above The Dirty Onion. Our menu is small but our flavours are big. Ok, we do chicken, but our chicken is famous!

Our local free-to-roam chicken is marinated for 24 hours in lemon, buttermilk, and paprika. It is then dry-rubbed, cooked and blast-chilled to keep it juicy and finally roasted on the spit. Ribs and wings are also available, as are a choice of sides and homemade desserts. Hungry yet?

We prepare all our food in-house and service is fast!

This is a booking for Yardbird the restaurant, The Dirty Onion bar operates on a first come first serve basis.

Overall we had a fantastic experience at Yardbird. The food was really tasty and we loved the casual dining experience. The staff were really friendly and attentive. If i had one critique it would be the avocado salad…there was a pool of water on the plate underneath the salad leaves which made the whole salad feel very soggy.

I booked a table for two, and we had the combo meal. Service was not great the waiters were chatting away when we arrived and made us wait to be seated even though the place was half empty. We ordered drinks and had to remind them to bring them. In the end we got the food before we got the drinks. Not really good value for money, but the wings were ok.

Service was sloooow. Took 15 minutes to get glasses for our water jug. Food came quik enough though. Buffalo fried chicken burger was fantastic. Nice heat and jalapeños. Quarter chicken looked like it had been scraped from someone else's plate. Small thigh and tiny drumstick. Slaw was good, but the " Awesome Sauce" was just Mayo with something pink it it. Inedible. No descriptions on menu to help and staff was too flustered.
