THE MENU.
SHORT ON PURPOSE.

Six things we do, done well — instead of forty things we do, mostly. If it's on the wall, we'll be proud of it.

HALF BIRD

£9.50

Two pieces — one breast, one drumstick. Crunch you can hear from the next table.

FULL BIRD

£16

Four pieces, double-fried Korean style. Built to share. Most don't.

WINGS — 6 / 12

£6 / £11

Tossed in your sauce. Tossed properly — see the video above.

TENDERS — 4 / 8

£7 / £13

All-breast, all crunch. The order you make for the kid that doesn't share.

BIRD BURGER

£8.50

Buttermilk thigh, slaw, gochujang mayo, brioche. The one we'd order.

FRIES — LARGE

£3.50

Skin on. Hot Bird seasoning. Made for the dip you're already thinking about.

STARTED IN A KITCHEN
NO BIGGER THAN A BATHROOM.

Two cousins, one fryer, three years of getting it wrong before we got it loud. We open in Roath in 2024, Cathays in 2025. The recipe never moved — neither did the queue.

1. We brine for 24 hours.

Buttermilk, paprika, garlic. Drains overnight. Yes, it's slower. That's the point.

2. We double-fry.

Once at 140°C to cook through. Once at 180°C to make the noise. Korean style, Welsh chicken.

3. We toss when you order.

Seasoning never sits. That's how mild becomes Cardiff Hot in 12 seconds.
