A new Southern US-inspired chicken specialist arrives in Spitalfields Market in March with plans to open a second outlet in Soho later this year. Absurd Bird hopes to launch further sites across the UK over the coming months.
The restaurant has partnered with Fosse Meadows Farm, which is dedicated to traditional free range, slow farm rearing techniques and breeds like Cotswold White and Cotswold Gold, which are reared for 20 per cent longer than other organic birds and 50 per cent longer than your average free range variety.
On the menu: Whole spatch-cocked smoked chicken which is hot smoked in house; fried chicken on a waffle – marinated overnight in buttermilk; plus jalapeno cheese biscuits; hurricane popcorn; orange honey coleslaw; corn bread pudding; crack pie; dipsy cake; or sweet potato marshmallow bake.
The drinks menu was created in association with Soul Shakers (expertly crafted moonshine and soulful cocktails). Absurd Bird will also boast a wing shack, dedicated to smoking chicken wings with a nod to the Deep South.
