About Hagen's

This Brunswick East butcher counter doubles as a hot kitchen frying hand-cut chips in pure beef tallow. Regulars flock here for the takeaway lunch spread—namely the roast organic chicken gravy roll packed into soft bread with crunchy stuffing. Round it out with thick garlic bread crisped in rendered chicken fat and a side of smoked chicken gravy.

  • Tallow-Fried Chips: Hand-cut potatoes fried crispy in rendered beef tallow rather than commercial seed oils.
  • Chicken Fat Garlic Bread: Crusty bread crisped and seasoned with rich, rendered poultry drippings.
  • Butcher & Hot Counter: Certified organic raw butchery counter paired with rotisserie chickens and hot lunch rolls.

  • Dual Organic Butcher Counter & Hot Kitchen

    Pairing a certified organic butchery with a commercial hot kitchen allows patrons to purchase specialty butcher cuts while picking up hot meals made from the same premium meats.

    Love the offering of hot food especially the chicken roll and chips. Staff have also been incredibly helpful when choosing different meat for dinner ideas!

  • Hand-Cut Chips Crisped in Beef Tallow

    Fried directly in rendered beef fat, the hand-cut chips achieve a distinct, crunchy exterior and rich butcher-grade flavor that elevates a standard side.

    Beef tallow chips were also next level and have ruined all future chips for me and my partner.

  • Garlic Bread Basted in Chicken Fat

    Rather than conventional butter or margarine, house garlic bread is crisped and seasoned with rendered chicken fat for maximum savory depth.

    Oh, and that Garlic Bread with chicken fat? Absolutely a piece of heaven! Crunchy yet flavourful, every bite somehow tastes better than the previous.

  • Relief for Clean & Seed-Oil-Free Eaters

    Customers with ancestral or seed-oil-conscious diets enjoy the nostalgic comfort of a classic chicken shop without compromising their nutritional standards.

    So good, couldn’t recommend enough if you’re a fan of ye old roast chicken and chips but hate seed oils and love regenerative meat and good fats….this is your place!

  • Crave-Worthy Butcher Lunch Rolls

    The lunch kitchen turns roast organic poultry, rich house chicken gravy, and seasoned bread into deeply satisfying takeaway rolls.

    OMG I can't stop thinking about how amazing your organic chicken roll was. This is the kind of food you dream about!

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the chips and garlic bread cooked in animal fats?

Yes, chips are hand-cut and fried in beef tallow (beef dripping) rather than seed oils, producing a very crispy texture, while the garlic bread is seasoned with chicken fat.

Is there dine-in seating, or should I order ahead for takeaway?

Seating is minimal, making Hagen's best suited for takeaway. To avoid long waits during busy lunch rushes, consider placing a pickup order in advance via DoorDash.

How large are the rotisserie chicken portions?

Rotisserie chicken portions are substantial, with a half chicken noted as generous enough to feed multiple people or a family.

Can you purchase custom cuts of raw meat as well as hot food?

Yes, Hagen's operates as a full organic butchery offering custom cuts and offcuts alongside its hot rotisserie and sandwich kitchen counter.
