With the future of Brunswick Heads’ flagship restaurant Fleet still up in the air, the crew keep themselves plenty busy with nearby taqueria La Casita, Roco Ramen & Sake and this, their canary yellow charcoal chook takeaway.

It’s all about the spinning birds, of course – brined, bronzed and best enjoyed with chicken-salted chips and rich schmaltz gravy – but there’s something for everyone on the tight but mighty menu. Sebago spuds are mashed, heartily buttered and smothered with more gravy, and salads hum with freshness, including citrus-dressed charred broccoli scattered with peas and parmesan.

The old-school chicken and gravy roll makes an appearance, too, but it’s the parmie sandwich – a thick schnitzel bathed in robust tomato sugo and capped with provolone – that’ll leave your head spinning. Scoff it on one of the stools provided, or make a beeline to the river for a makeshift picnic.
