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.

    The restaurant is a little bit hidden but once we walked through the lively bar we found it. Simple menu either great food. Wonderful rotisserie chicken at a price you can’t beat. Nice selection of beer and wine. Highly recommend.

    Having been recommended to eat here I was very disappointed- I had half a chicken with avocado salad... the chicken was very dry and had little taste...the avocado salad was mostly iceberg lettuce with a few slices of avocado coated in an uninspiring dressing. My partner had the chicken burger which was a bit better but given this place really only offers chicken - I thought it would be a much better experience. Staff were friendly - and service was fine.

    Very flavourful and good food, the loaded fries are a big portion and worth the money, delicious.

    Great food and staff were lovely. The service was slow to start with as took a long time to take orders but food was out quickly. Food was delicious and good value for money.
