Roost at Canteen

Roost at Canteen logo

24-hour buttermilk marinated chicken, lightly dusted and fired to crispy perfection... Mmmmm!

Choose from chicken strips 'n' dips, crispy wings, burgers or wraps. Or, go Greek with our gyros and kebab boxes. There's plenty of sides too including, tater tots, loaded fries, slaw, halloumi sticks and onion rings.

Not a fan of chicken? We've got loads of veggie options - because everyone's part of the flock at Roost!
