Hen & Hops

You'll smell the rotisserie chickens before you spot the entrance on High Bridge, and that's exactly the point. This is chicken done properly – none of that dry, sad stuff you get elsewhere. The birds are juicy, the seasoning is bang on, and they know their way around a proper craft beer list to match. The space feels relaxed without being sloppy, and the staff actually seem to enjoy working there, which makes all the difference. You're not paying silly money for what's essentially elevated pub food, but you're definitely getting something better than your average chicken shop. It's the kind of place that works whether you're grabbing lunch solo or settling in for a proper evening with mates.
