New menu alert!
Here at the Coop we’ve been putting our heads together to come up with an amazing new menu for you lovely lot. It sees the introduction of some new gargantuan burgers including the new Massive Cock MK 4, some show-stopping mains with Asian influences and the return of some much missed classics (all hail the Yakety Wrap).
Not only that, but we’ve been creating some sexy sauces and side dishes to accompany the best buttermilk fried chicken around.
We’ve featured a couple below for you to see what you’ll be sinking your teeth into very shortly:
DOUBLE MAC DADDY
This beast of a burger features a bun of chicken. Yep that’s right two buttermilk fried chicken breasts as the bun… We’ve then stuffed it with our three cheese mac and cheese, cheese sauce, crispy bacon and Dr Pepper BBQ sauce. Oh, and its garnished with some chicken crack. *Silently drools*
BAO BUN BOX
Over on our large plates sections we’re introducing a Bao Bun Box. We’ve mixed things up and have gone for American, English and Asian influences as fillings for our mix of 3 Bao Buns. If you’ve never had a Bao Bun just think of them as steamed pillows of doughy heaven. Ours will be the sticky Bao, the buffalo Bao, and the roast Bao, each with very different but delicious flavours. Watch this space…
SALT & PEPPER CHICKEN
Everyone’s favourite special has earned a secure spot on our new menu. Choose wings or drums, Chinese style and tossed with onions, mixed peppers, chilli, seaweed and that all important salt and pepper seasoning.
We’re sending out samples of our new menu to customers in the restaurant on Friday evenings, to get your lots lovely opinion ahead of the big launch in February, and we cant wait to hear your thoughts. Head to your nearest Coop this weekend for all the booze and chicken.
