Month: November 2019

We’re proper party pros and it wouldn’t be Christmas at Yard & Coop without fried chicken and festive booze.

This year, you’ll see mommy eating Dirty Santa… but don’t tell Dad. That’s right, Santa joins our dirty bird line-up featuring two buttermilk fried chicken thighs, homemade stuffing balls, fried sprouts, sticky bacon jam and cranberry sauce served with lashings of homemade chicken gravy piled on a bowl of skin on and sweet potato fries.

Going dirtier? Grab a portion of Cheesy Brie Bites, deep fried to perfection and served with cranberry dip.

Hey sis, it’s Christmas. You can cross a sexy cocktail off your wish list. We’ve created 3 mouth-watering cocktails to pair with your festive foodie faves featuring Absolut Rhubarb, Beefeater Blood orange and Plymouth Sloe gin.

Not drinking? No problem. Hit up our Designated Sleigh Driver and head straight to the top of Santa’s nice list.

You can walk in and grab any of our Christmas specials at a Coop near you from now until Sunday 22^nd December. See the full list of our festive specials below.

Still looking for the perfect place to host your festive gathering? We offer amazing parties from 2 to 200 people and our team of festive obsessives are here to take away the stress of organising to make it a Christmas to remember.

Chick out our menu highlights…

CHINESE TAKEAWAY BURGER
Get that Saturday night takeaway feeling everyday with our Chinese Takeaway burger. Devour salt & pepper chicken along with pulled chicken in Chinese chip shop curry sauce, crispy seaweed, onion, chilli, peppers and iceberg lettuce. Topped with a deep-fried wonton and served with a fortune cookie.

THE LONE STAR
We went deep, south and dirty for this one to make a burger the ‘Deep South’ would be proud of. Buttermilk fried chicken breast and thigh with mac and cheese, maple bacon, crispy onions, BBQ pulled chicken, American cheese, sweet potato fries and lime salsa all in a brioche bun. Topped with a Dr Pepper BBQ wing.

DIRTY KATSU
You know we love a Dirty Bird so we’ve decided to double up and double dip our Chinese chip shop curry sauce with homemade creamy ranch to create the Dirty Katsu. Expect the loaded bowl of fries we’ve all come to love served with buttermilk fried chicken Ma’ Clucker would be proud of.

FETA & HONEY KEBAB
This one’s for the veggies. You loved our Feta & honey salad, so we’ve taken it to the large plates. Fried feta drizzled in honey and sesame seeds with rainbow root slaw and fresh coriander on a warm naan bread. Served with minty buttermilk sour cream and our kebab sauce.

MACCIE’S BREKKIE
You ain’t seen muffin yet. That’s right, never worry about missing breakfast again because we’ve created the ultimate meaty muffin stack packed with two buttermilk fried chicken thighs, sausage meat patty, crispy bacon, American cheese, fried egg and hash browns and served with loaded tatties. It’s breakfast done proper, and all day.

MASSIVE COCK MK V
And finally, it wouldn’t be a new menu without a bigger, better Massive Cock burger. That’s right, over 12 inches tall you definitely need to get your hands round this! A double stacked burger with buttermilk fried chicken breast, chicken thigh, Yorkshire puddings, lashings of cheese sauce and chicken gravy. Piled with pea and onion fritter, chicken tots, bacon jam, hash brown and mac and cheese. All in a brioche bun topped with stuffing balls and served with fries and sweet potato fries.

If this isn’t enough for you, you’ll find some of our best hot sides yet begging to join your table including Chicken Tots, Pea Fritters with hot brown sauce and Carrots & Snips served with a homemade rosemary infused honey.

Our new menu is available now at your nearest Coop.
