Bird Royale
The humble rotisserie chicken has had a serious glow-up courtesy of Bird Royale at Brickworks Ferry Rd. The venue is the latest from renowned hospitality identity Dave Galvin of SITE Hospitality, who is the mastermind behind CRAFTY’S Sports Bar at Harbour Town and the recently opened Italian eatery, MOZZZA MOZZA at Southport Sharks, which is already making a big impression on locals. The brand-new day-and-night venue delivers a deliciously elevated take on the humble rotisserie chook with its charcoal chicken and a drool-inducing menu crafted by SITE Hospitality’s group executive chef, Nic Wood. Flavour-packed charcoal chicken is the hero here alongside boneless tenders and wings, burgers, sandwiches and sides such as fresh, wholesome salads, mac ‘n’ cheese, crisp roast potatoes and super-crispy chips. If time is not on your side, Bird Royale’s grab-and-go cabinet offers a selection of all-day snacks and quick eats, including fresh seasonal fruit salads, chia puddings with caramelised pineapple and coconut, a selection of breakfast wraps, roast chicken and salad rolls, and a Breakfast Health Bowl with brown rice, avocado, cucumber, braised greens, hemp seeds and a poached egg. Thirsty? There’s filter and cold-brew coffee by popular Melbourne roaster ST. ALi alongside house-made iced tea in rotating flavours, cold-pressed juices by The Fix, Liberty kombuchas, soft drinks and non-alcoholic beers by UPFLOW Brewing Co.
Bird Royale will operate seven days a week from 7:00 am. The main shop inside the centre will open until 5:00 pm daily, then the kerbside roller door opens for ‘cluck’n collect’ until 8:00 pm. The kerbside takeaway service can be pre-ordered or just roll in and order.
