About McManos Chicken Bar

Seddon’s neighborhood chook shop turns out whole and quarter birds roasted over charcoal with crisp, seasoned skin and rich gravy. An updated spin on the traditional milk-bar-era chicken counter, the kitchen serves hefty dinner packs alongside scratch sides like potato gratin and lentil-capsicum salad. Hot crinkle-cut chips, dusted with chicken salt straight from the fryer, complete the counter order with house garlic sauce.

  • Charcoal-Roasted Chicken: Whole and portioned chickens spin over open charcoal for smoky flavor and crisp skin, paired with house-made gravy.
  • Beyond Classic Salads & Sides: The counter complements classic chicken shop packs with potato gratin and a chargrilled pepper, lentil, and chickpea salad.
