About 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.

The Westall Advantage

Why locals rely on Westall Freerange Charcoal Chicken for weekday lunches and family dinners

  • Signature Seasoned Rice Stuffing

    In place of standard breadcrumbs, chickens are roasted with seasoned rice stuffing that absorbs the natural pan juices and marinade.

    The highlight was the stuffing. I've never tasted rice stuffing in my life. Kind of reminds me of the Korean stuffed chicken and rice.

  • Dedicated Spit-Roasted Lamb & Gyros

    Serving spit-roasted lamb HSP and gyros with house chips gives guests a complete souvlaki-quality feast without needing a separate shop.

    lamb and chicken off the spit was better than most of the actual souvlaki joints in the south east.
