Nando’s rival Bird and Beast lines up second UK site for Manchester: Rotisserie chicken concept restaurant Bird and Beast is to open its second UK site in Manchester. Aiming to, in their words, “take a peck at a popular well-known chicken restaurant” the independent firm plans to open on Deansgate in early 2015. The Manchester branch will be the second in the UK, following the restaurant’s successful launch in Leeds earlier this year. Over £750,000 will be spent on the 4,000 square foot restaurant including a custom-made British rotisserie – which customers can view as they dine. The firm is also keen to tap into Manchester’s thriving bar scene by also opening a “sister lounge bar” named Bird and Beats alongside the new restaurant. The chickens themselves will come from Sykes House Farms, in the Yorkshire Wolds, and will be double-marinated overnight in the restaurant’s signature rub, steamed, then roasted over cherry wood chips and charcoal on a custom-made rotisserie spit. Bird and Beast’s co-director Jonathan Parkinson said: “Premium free-range rotisserie chicken will be our main ingredient and I believe that the simplicity of this new concept in a stylish, modern setting will be a winning formula with Manchester diners.”
