About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Good for groups
  • Hot spot
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.

    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.

    Beer and wine selection very poor. Had the 25.50ÂŁ deal for ribs, wings and a side. Poor value for five ribs and ten chicken wings, corn was bland and served in a dish with a lot of water. Ordered extra chicken for 15ÂŁ/half to fill the gap. Guinness was flat. The ribs were nice but I wouldn't return based on the prices. Cost nearly 70ÂŁ all in with two beers each.
