Yardbird is our rotisserie chicken restaurant upstairs above The Dirty Onion. Our menu is small but our flavours are big. Ok, we do chicken, but our chicken is famous!
Our local free-to-roam chicken is marinated for 24 hours in lemon, buttermilk, and paprika. It is then dry-rubbed, cooked and blast-chilled to keep it juicy and finally roasted on the spit. Ribs and wings are also available, as are a choice of sides and homemade desserts. Hungry yet?
We prepare all our food in-house and service is fast!
This is a booking for Yardbird the restaurant, The Dirty Onion bar operates on a first come first serve basis.

The clue is in the name....and for the juiciest, most flavorsome steaks around, no matter how you take it, it's hard to beat a Josper-cooked steak! The secret is our Josper grill, a very particular style of Spanish charcoal oven, which is regarded by chefs worldwide as the finest method of cooking super tender steaks, while locking in all those wonderful flavors. So whether it's Sirloin or Rib Eye you prefer, the unique smoky, barbecue-style taste of our locally sourced, prime aged steaks is, we believe, out of this world! If, however, steaks are not your thing, then fear not, as we also offer a wide-ranging & amp; varied menu and quick & easy Light Lunch menu.

    I went for lunch with my daughter. There was a two course set menu which was reasonably priced, however we chose to go a la carte. All in, lunch came to £100, which was for two starters , two mains, an additional starter which we shared, 2 pints of Guiness and a coke. There was a 10% service charge. Service was attentive yet uninvasive. Menu options were great. Food was delicious and portion size was just right. I look forward to returning again soon.

    We started with appetizers, including garlic prawns and scallops, but we were a bit underwhelmed- it was lacking in taste. But the sea bass- that was phenomenal! It was our favorite meal we have had in two and a half weeks in the country. The staff was very personable and the ambiance was great. I’m a big fan of ceilings, and they have an amazing ceiling!

    Staff very friendly and professional. Checked on us regularly but unobtrusively. The setting was cosy and comfy. We were meeting a friend we hadn’t seen for a while and wanted to catch up. We weren’t rushed off our table and so caught up with ease. Would not hesitate to recommend Jospers to family and friends. Thank you!
