Why has it taken me so long to eat here?? This place is amazing!!!!! Arguably not the best option if you are a vegetarian but the name and countless chickens in the window give that away. It has a great vibe as you walk in with modern yet old style industrial lighting and open plan dining. The staff are all super friendly and explained how it works....chicken,sides and more importantly which sauces you want to try. There are a couple called 'nuclear' and 'evil' that I would be tempted to try when I'm feeling brave! Generous portion sizes and reasonable prices too! I couldn't fault this place....give it a try! read more

This restaurant has been open for about three months now and it is absolutely amazing. The menu in the restaurant is what I wish places would be like. Its very short you have the option of a quarter, half or full chicken. The big decision is what go for. the waitress helped us a lot by telling us that we could order more if we ran out during our meal. We ordered a number of different shots to try and get a variation of hotness. And were some of them hot! The sides pretty tasty too we ordered one of each to eat between four of us and it was quite sufficient. Overall an excellent lunchtime out. The staff were very attentive chatty and knowledgeable about the products. read more

COOP Chicken House - Inside - Chicken Wings Near Me - Newcastle upon Tyne, XTW

Love this place. Every time I'm in Newcastle it is one of my first stops. I always get the wings to go and have them later after going out. I usually go twice during my visit and I like there selection of sauces especially the Jerk and chili. read more

First time at COOP and it will not be the last. Pleasantly surprised! We ordered a mix of things: 10 house wings (lemon-pepper), 10 crystal chilli wings, fries, corn on the cob, some beers and a bottle of sauce. The wings were meaty and had a nice, light crispy batter. I really preferred the crystal wings over the house wings, but neither were too strongly flavored. They have tons of sauce options, which you can get shots of for 1 quid each or three for just under 3 quid. I looked around and saw that the shots were pretty small so we decided to just buy a bottle of our preferred sauce for 4.50. Great idea to have tons of sauce bottles for sale. We used what we wanted and took the rest home. Also great that they had ketchup, BBQ sauce and Crystal sauce (spicy Louisiana tabasco-style sauce) on the tables for free use. Fries were great - thin, American-style. Sweet potato fries also looked good, but we didnt try them. Corn on the cob was great too - one thing I really miss about the US. Not a huge beer menu, but some interesting choices. They had two gluten-free options which is great for those sensitive to gluten. If you think you can eat your body weight in chicken, check out their ALL YOU CAN EAT chicken wing Sundays for 10 quid. Ambiance was nice. No loud music or bright lights. As an American I sometimes cringe at kitschy American-style decor, but this place was done just right. The service was also very good. Nice people, good food. read more

Good food and good service, tucked away in a hidden spot right ear the train station. Found this place via Yelp and LOVED the food. Grilled not fried chicken (hooray!), local beers, and yummy sweet potato fries and I was set! My wife and I split a large order of salt & pepper & lemon chicken wings and a portion of sweet potato fries each (we don't share when it comes to sweet potato fries!). The flavor on the wings was surprisingly nice, but I wish they had more flavor options for next time. The service was very friendly and accommodating for our large and loud group. I'll definitely be coming back here the next time I'm in Newcastle! read more

The hot wing sauce here does an admirable job of emulating the flavour of classic American hot wings, but delivers comparatively little heat. The wings themselves are scrawny little things that make the portions deceptively small. The service is faultlessly friendly and quick, and they're generous with the wet napkins to get the sauce off your fingers. read more

Passing through and found this place by accident. Glad I did. Small menu, what they do they do very well. Highly recommend. Even my 13 year old grandchild liked it, the acid test. This place deserves to succeed!! read more

Well balanced chicken. Tender and well grilled. The ratatouille is awesome. The affogato is surprising tasty, with a lot of biscuit bits and a strong coffee to match. read more

Very awesome place! Very interesting BBQ house in Newcastle. Serving up BBQ chicken meals to share or single meals are also an option. It's my understanding they do take away however that would be a boring review. So I took one for the team and went into Coop on a Friday after work. The place Is small but effective, the decor is modern casual and resembles a chicken coop. Located at the back is a massive chicken rotary cooker. The ordering is simple, how much of a whole chicken do you want, select sides, select drinks and select from large list of delicious sauces to dip your chicken in. The foot is really nice. The place, like most BBQ houses are meant for table sharing. There was more then enough food for me and my friend and were both full sized men. They have beer, beer is awesome! Staff were all awesome also, will return. They have a loyalty system punch card idea. 10 visits and you score yourself a chicken! Check it out if you like BBQ read more

I've walked past loads heading to Hippo For a lunchtime butty, but popped in with fellow Yelper Katherine M and was very glad I did. The interior is all reclaimed and upcycled chic with a very modern and attractive feel. Lots of the decor was probably already here. I didn't have room for a full on chicken meal but was sooo tempted by the choices of hot sauce. They included "evil" and "nuclear" so I have to go back. Still hummus, and fries were more than filling for lunchtime :-) read more

Easily my favourite place to eat in town. If you love chicken then you have to try this place out. I tried the full roast chicken with sweet potato fries which was amazing. The chicken was cooked to perfection with moist pieces which just fell off the bone. I also tried a shot of whiskey flavoured hot mustard sauce which was beautiful. The decor and layout of the restaurant make for a really cool vibe and they just happened to play a ton of my favourite songs too! Great food, great vibe and a real gem for Newcastle. read more

Love the fact that the sauce comes in a shot glass and u pour it yourself.decor is nice funky and original. read more

COOP Chicken House - 1/2chicken and sweet potato fries. Will be visiting again before my 2weeks are up!! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Newcastle upon Tyne, XTW

Oh how I hate to give this place four stars, but alas... the sides let me down ever so slightly after a few visits, if that gets sorted then an unquestionable five stars. The real star here however is the chicken, and glorious chicken it is! So much so that the first time I went with a friend we ordered a half to split, given the amount of sides we got, but we ended up going for another half so should've gotten a whole chicken to begin with. :D It's proper rotisserie chicken with a sea salt on the skin and lemon on the side... if you like chicken I'm not sure you could go back to another place after here, and if you're a Nando's kinda guy or gal, do yourself a favour and try this place ASAP. As mentioned the sides let me down a bit however... the fries were good, and sweet potato fries nearly divine, but along with the corn on the cob they never seemed to have that "fresh from the fryer/grill feel" which in contrast to the "just off of the rotisserie" chicken made them stand out even more in contrast. (Apologies, I do like to put things in "quotes"... not sure why.) Another plus for sauce and heat fiends like myself is that the back of the menu is literally nothing but sauces that can be ordered by the shot or bottle in a range of heats... definitely fun to play around with. No worries if you're against paying for an adventurous sauce though, there's a few standards on the table... including a good BBQ sauce and Crystal River hot sauce amongst ketchup, etc., so there's no need to splurge on the crazy sauces unless you would like to. Side note, they do two draft beers as well... perfect to wash it all down. If you're looking for something fancy or wildly varied this may not be your place, but having left Newcastle now I'm going to miss it more than I should when it comes to a quick and simple meal that hits the spot... I suppose that says it all. read more

Salt, pepper and lemon chicken is on the menu here at this independent chicken house. And it's very good. The chicken was juicy and flavoursome. That flavour profile is just delicious. Their sweet potato fries were also delish. Price wise it is very reasonable. Try this place next time instead of Nandos. You won't be disappointed. Service was great, decor is cool and hip. Great addition to Newcastle's food scene! read more

My friend and I popped in for a late Thursday dinner, we were the only ones in the restaurant. Though the atmosphere was quiet, I liked the industrial decor and it's in a great central location. My friend got wings, and I got a quarter chicken. We shared some fries and rocket-fennel salad. There's a tabasco-like sauce on the table, but any of their specialty hot sauces cost money per shot - or you can buy the bottle. I mean, I like a great hot sauce selection, but I wasn't going to pay £1-2 for a shot of sauce, that seems silly, so we didn't bother. The chicken was juicy enough, but not terribly flavorful - no marinade, it seems, just salt-pepper? It wasn't terribly crispy either. Sides were fine, but without a selection of interesting sauces, the overall feeling for me was pretty bland (though we did make short work of the yummy fries). Much as I love to support independent businesses, I wouldn't bother coming here instead of Nando's unless I was in this area and really craving chicken. Nando's just tastes better and you get more fun sauces, and it's cheaper. For them to be competitive in the chicken-with-sides arena, they need to have an improved product and/or some lower prices! read more

This was my first visit to the COOP Chicken House, having found it on the Open Table app. Having tried a well known chicken restaurant chain before, I was a little sceptical about what the food was like. So, I was totally bowled over with my experience. I was staying at the Hampton by Hilton Hotel, just a three minute walk away, so this was a really convenient place Togo and eat. My table was booked for 7.45pm and when I arrived there was a table of ten having a really good time and eating well (a very good sign). I was warmly welcomed and escorted to my table. The menu is simple, as really there is one thing on the main menu, and that's chicken (yes, a bit of a surprise, but then you should realise this when you look at the restaurant name). I started off with the hummus which was really good, followed by half a chicken, sweet potato fries and a shot (yes, really) of the banana habanero (a milled/medium chilli relish). The chicken was superb, juicy and very tender, cut into portions, and served with those sweet potato fries. When I finished, there was just empty bowls and chicken bones. That probably says it all. Service was excellent, and my waitress, Georgia, was fantastic. She was more than happy to explain to a novice like me, what to expect, and what the sauces were. I saw some that said "evil" and "nuclear" which if you like things hot, are perfect. I am, however, a woos when it comes to hot,and I opted for the banana habanero. It's warm, but very pleasant. So good in fact, that I purchased a bottle to take home with me. I rounded off the meal with a Rees' peanut butter and chocolate slab, with ice cream. So bad for the waistline, but just sublime and a hell of a way to round off such a great meal. This is a one of a kind restaurant, and not a part of any chain. I live in West London and I'll be back for more chicken. I will not be going back to Nando's or entertaining KFC after my experience here. I'm sure the Geordie hospitality was a big factor in my enjoyment of the evening, along with great food at affordable prices. If you are expecting 5* fine dining, then this is not the place for you. However, if what you want is chicken, cooked to perfection, then this really IS the place you should head to. There are not many tables, so reservations are highly encouraged (I saw several potential guests being turned away because there were no available tables). Would I go again? You can bet your life I would. As for recommending the place, for sure and without question. You really must give it a try! Well done to all staff in the restaurant. Oh, the restaurant has a loyalty card too, which I was given one. You'll get a free whole chicks on your tenth visit! How good is that! read more

Walked in & got greeted, sat down ordered a drink (£2 for a regular) the smell of the food was yumm, there's a drinks menu on the table, the waitress brings the food menu, I got Chicken Caesar salad £6.50. I'd maybe go back for something else next time. read more

COOP Chicken House - Coop's Refreshing (Hand) wipe - Chicken Wings Near Me - Newcastle upon Tyne, XTW

CHICKENTASTIC! I visited Coop Chicken house as part of Newcastles restaurant week, which fell perfectly on the week of my birthday. Having wanting to eat here for months, I took this opportunity to finally sample their delights. WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG?! The service was excellent (receiving a free glass of wine as a birthday treat and frequently being wished happy birthday by different staff members who served us) and the food was top notch. Now I eat a lot of chicken, but I am happy to say this is the tastiest chicken I've ever had. A great selection of side dishes and sauces to dip your chips into. If I could afford to eat here all the time I would. read more

Fantastic new restaurant in Newcastle, I expected it to be bigger inside, but the place had a great feel and atmosphere. The chicken was absolutely delicious, we ordered the full chicken between two of us and it was ample, it was already cut into portions which made it easy to eat. I really liked that there's a whole menu dedicated to sauce!! You order as shots so you can have a few per meal, I highly recommend the hot coconut one. For the sides I had the guest halloumi and veg which was perfectly grilled my partner had the slaw which went down a treat. I will most certainly return here. read more

After being up in Newcastle for a few nights for work I found this place a few minutes walk from the station. Decided on take out getting a quarter chicken with fries and coleslaw and since I am a chicken wing addict some wings on the side. The chicken was really good being roasted over charcoal. Fries were pretty decent but the coleslaw was sublime. Quite creamy but not overly. The wings were well cooked. But the only downside (which makes it a 4 star over a 5 star review) was the sauce. They use crystal chilli. Which normally is a decent staple in my place. But after finding out they have a lot of sauces in their menu I was a little disappointed they hadn't put a more authentic buffalo wing sauce on them. If I was in Newcastle again I would definitely go again. read more

Gave this a try after seeing good yelp reviews. Though I'd been on to a no winner taking my brother a nandos addict but he was surprisingly very impressed,what a shocker! He even said "better than nandos". I think the unique selling point of this place is the massive selection of sauces for the chicken. There are ridiculously hot sauces that come with health and safety disclaimers to suit the chili heads and interesting spicy combinations to suit the more timid. You get a shot glass of sauce for only £1 that means you can try a few without breaking the bank and not stuck with something too hot smothered all over the chicken which is sometimes the case at nandos if you are like me and always manage to pick too hot every time. The chicken was cooked beautifully and sides were also good. At the end of the day it's just chicken and sauces, but if you fancy just that, then this is the place for you. read more

I have been here a few times, and each time I have enjoyed my food. The concept is simple. Cooked rotisserie chicken served with sides. The boyfriend and I usually have a half chicken with 3 or 4 sides. There is also a menu for sauces, but there is ketchup and barbecue sauce also provided on the table. The restaurant itself is fairly big and also has a private dining room to hire. Staff are really friendly and helpful. read more

So many wings! I ordered 10 wings, buy they added a couple of more for the heck of it. The wings were delicious and adding a side made for a perfect meal. Next time, I'll come with some buddies to order several kinds of wings to share. Kind, friendly and quick staff added to the experience. read more
