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.

Before you head over

Practical tips for ordering takeaway and lunch at McManos Chicken Bar

  • Allow extra time for whole chicken pickups

    Allow a few extra minutes for single whole roast chicken orders during peak hours, as roasting over charcoal and preparing birds to order can involve a slight wait.

  • Explore house specialty salads and sides

    Pair charcoal chicken with non-traditional specialty sides like the lentil, charred capsicum, and chickpea salad or warm potato gratin instead of just standard chips.

  • Opt for family packs for large groups

    For feeding a crowd or a family without overspending, order a family meal pack to get generous portions of chicken, plenty of chips, and gravy.
