Roosters Kitchen

About Roosters Kitchen

Sitting down here with children in tow is easier than the smart, softly-lit dining room suggests — buggies get in without a fight, there are high chairs and a kids' menu, and free parking takes one worry off the top. What people come back for is the food: the calamari draws near-unanimous raves, the lamb shish is succulent and beautifully presented, and the fish dishes — swordfish fillet especially — get singled out. Portions are generous enough that two can happily share a main, which helps when a toddler only wants a few forkfuls. The owner greets you like family and the service is calm and patient, the sort where nothing feels like too much trouble. Vegan options and outdoor tables in warmer weather. It does get busy even midweek, and the menu is detailed enough to need a proper read, so booking is wise.
