Book NowAbout Westall Freerange Charcoal Chicken
Real charcoal makes all the difference at this suburban poultry counter, turning out smoky birds packed with seasoned rice. Forget dry electric rotisseries—the whole chooks here roast over glowing coals until juicy, finished with a savoury rice stuffing that absorbs every drop of pan juices. Regulars queue out the door for weekday lunch rolls drenched in gravy, over-the-top family packs of chips, and charcoal-spit lamb gyros carving alongside crisp daily salads. Keep in mind doors stay shut on weekends, so aim for an early weekday haul of hot chicken salt fries and foil-wrapped roast chicken.
- Real Charcoal Spit Roasting: Whole chickens roast directly over real coals rather than standard electric spits, yielding deeply smoky skin and tender meat.
- Savory Rice Stuffing: Birds come packed with seasoned rice that absorbs the rendered cooking juices instead of ordinary breadcrumbs.
- Spit-Roasted Lamb Gyros: Alongside chicken, charcoal spits spin tender lamb for generous takeaway gyros and loaded snack packs.
