About Benalla Charcoal Chicken

Real charcoal pits turn out smoky roast birds and oversized pub-style packs built for road-trip hunger. Travelers pulling off the Hume make this their staple detour for thick chicken parmas smothered in cheese, crisp chips dusted with chicken salt, and loaded schnitzel rolls with the lot. Fresh salad displays round out the counter—coleslaw, Greek salad, and lightly dressed greens to balance the massive portions.

  • Real Charcoal Roasting: Chickens cooked over genuine charcoal coals deliver robust smoky flavor alongside crisp roast veggies.
  • Pub-Style Meal Packs: Oversized parma packs and loaded schnitzel rolls offer pub-scale feeds at takeaway prices.
  • Chips & Fresh Salads: Crispy, fluffy hot chips piled with chicken salt pair with seven rotating fresh salad options.

  • Fresh Salads to Complement Every Order

    Roast and fried meals are balanced with a wide counter selection of crisp, lightly dressed salads.

    Not drenched in dressing and pretty fresh too!

  • Authentic Pit-Roasted Charcoal Flavour

    Authentic pit roasting delivers distinct smoky taste and juiciness that electric or gas rotisseries cannot match.

  • Golden, Crisp Chips Cooked to Perfection

    Hot chips are consistently served super crispy on the outside with fluffy potato texture and savoury seasoning.

    Every chip was super crispy and so fluffy on the inside

  • Effortless Takeaway for Commuters

    Quick, dependable counter service ensures an effortless hot dinner stop on regional commutes.

  • Chicken Parma Pack

    The parma was awesome, big, thick, covered with cheese and the coating and tomatoe compote was delicious, the chips were fresh and cooked to perfection, i chose the greek salad and some coleslaw from a choice of 7,both were fresh and good eating.

  • Schnitzel Roll

    schnitzel rolls with the lot (Mayo, Lettuce, tomato and cheese) - they were delicious (and huge!)

Frequently Asked Questions
