Pop-up Rotisserie Chicken oven at the Castle, CP Road this weekend

[Cluck'ed]

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. Whole, half to go, plus 1/4 bird boxes to eat in the pub. Menu attached. 

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!
