So. First blog. Bit awkward isn\u2019t it, \u2018cos we haven\u2019t properly met or anything yet, but we should probably break the ice. So here goes\u2026<\/p>\n
We are two friends who really love fried chicken. We\u2019ve eaten fried chicken all over the world, especially in Kentucky where Laura has some family. You probably have too, eaten lots of fried chicken we mean. \u2018Cos it\u2019s a damn tasty thing. But we thought that it just wasn\u2019t getting the respect it deserved, it was getting stuck in greasy buckets and served up by some old dude with a white beard. Well we thought there was more to it than that.<\/p>\n
So we started playing around with our own recipe for buttermilk fried chicken. It took us a while, over a year in fact, of travelling, tasting and testing out spices, marinades and crumbs. Then we got it.<\/p>\n
And Yard & Coop was born.<\/p>\n
We love Manchester, the Northern Quarter, going out and anywhere that lets you have a good time without any bullshit. Fun, casual dining in places where you get a proper welcome, where sharing food is just part of the party. \u00a0So that\u2019s what we want to create in our restaurant.<\/p>\n
And we really hope you like it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
