“Ideal for a post work catch up or a quick bite before hitting the town, this joint will tickle the fancy of all chicken lovers. Nostalgic old school hip hop tracks above the murmured chatter of the diners creates a comfortable surrounding to sit back and loosen those waist belts in preparation for the feast ahead.  Each section of the restaurant offers a different vibe as groups gather at long tables, pairs catch up snug in the corner and those lovers out there can nestle up in your own personal poultry coop beneath a sky of fairy lights. Naw. ”

“I couldn’t believe how well established this new restaurant feels – it’s only been open for two weeks but the atmosphere suggests that it’s long been a firm fixture of the Northern Quarter. From the numerous band posters stuck up next to the bar, to the more numerous patrons occupying the tables, this young, independent business is exceeding expectations.”

“Everything was absolutely delicious, with the halloumi & chicken thighs (which I was happy turned out to be boneless) unsurprisingly coming out top. The portion sizes were generous – we were happily stuffed – and the restaurant itself had a great vibe; chilled, colourful and quirky but with open spaces and plenty of light in a similar vein to a lot of the new warehouse-space-meets-bar openings that are popping up in Manchester at the moment. All in all, I loved it and would definitely visit again to try out more of the menu that we didn’t get to sample this time around!”
