The Hendl Plate

  • Cooked overSpit-roast

Half a Devon White chicken, brined and slow-roasted on the rotisserie, with rotisserie potatoes, green salad and a dip. The plate the room is built for.

Hendl

Rotisserie · Hackney

Hackney Church Brew Co, 17 Bohemia Place, London E8 1DU

Hidden gemEasy to walk past — you'd have to know it's there.

The Peck Peck team doing one thing: free-range birds, slow-roasted. Almost no hype, real craft — a Hackney roast people still walk past.

A rotisserie tucked inside a Hackney brewery, turning slow-reared Devon White chickens brined for hours before they go on. The whole kitchen is built around that spit.

The proof, in the house's own words
