Hi everyone

If you're passing by the Castle on Crystal Palace Road this weekend and you can smell the wonderful aroma of rotisserie chicken, it's because we're serving French-style corn fed rotisserie chickens, spun in the garden. 48-hour brined with aromatics, served with chicken fat roast potatoes and chicken gravy. 

Serving from sometime around late lunch until we run out, in roughly two-hour blocks. 

First come, first served, pay in person and collect when they're ready - stay for a drink. 

Oh, and we're called Cluck'ed!

See you Saturday or Sunday.

Robbie, Paul & Steve

Thank you to everyone who supported us at the Castle this weekend! We hope you enjoyed your corn-fed rotisserie chicken  from Cluck’ed

 We’re back at the Castle this Saturday for a spin, so drop by for a whole or half rotisserie chicken, chicken fat potatoes, and chicken gravy

I love the Castle, but I don't eat chicken.

Any chance you might expand your range to include something veggie? 

Or the potatoes without the chicken fat?

Compared to andouillette sausage, horsemeat, fois gras, steak tartare or tete de veau, the French consider rotisserie chicken perfectly suitable for vegetarians. 

The potatoes are cooked in the drippings from the chicken, so there's nothing they can really do about that.

Rob has always been fine about outside food in The Castle. They may still have an agreement with Yard Sale.

 

Good luck to the operators. It sounds like a great idea - any chance of PMing me the aromatics mix for the brine?

I am not sure what the French have to do with this?!

And I wasn't suggesting they change their existing potatoes, which was why I said "expand their range" !

Hopefully the Castle do still have an arrangement with Yard Sale as well. Does anybody know?

Hi Sue, the Castle is a fantastic pub. Alas, we're only chicken, potatoes and gravy which all contain chicken fat. We're a simple one meal operation - just rotisserie chicken.

David, interesting info on the French attitude to rotisserie.

Rob is great and allowing us to set up in the garden and you can eat you chicken in the pub with a very well looked after pint at a great price. 

They still have Yard Sale posters up.

Cluck'ed describe themselves as 'French Style Rotisserie Chicken'. It's the stuff you see at French markets, often attached to the side of a beaten up Renault Trafic van or in a caravan. I've tried to add a photo, but can't.

Sorry Sue, my point about the potatoes was that the whole thing works as a system. The chicken fat drips down from row to row, basting the chickens below, then down the bottom to cook the potatoes. The crispy bits on the bottom are used to make the gravy. Ingenious really. And very tasty. Nothing gets wasted.

Apart from a lot of chickens.

 

Cluck'ed, my comment about the French is based on a real experience of a French exchange trip in the 80s. A classmate tried to tell their host family, in their best Longman's Audio-Visual French, that they didn't eat meat. They were served chicken every night for dinner, whilst the family ate beef, lamb and pork.

Ah, sorry, I missed the "French" bit on their ad.

DUH! 

Thanks for the extra info!

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By malumbu · Posted

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Dell Autos is closing tomorrow

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      By malumbu · Posted

      @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
