Located behind Harveys,
The Chook House
Our kitchen is guided by chef Kym Machin, who had the genius idea to install custom-made rotisseries.
What does this mean for you? Juicy, brown and sticky-skinned Free Range chickens that are hormone-free and air-chilled. You’ll never look at a humble roast chicken the same again. But we’re not just about chicken; we cook the finest rotisserie meats, composite salads, fish and vegetables, and lighter shared meals.
