Overview
If there's a lack of buttermilk fried chicken burgers in your day, scoot over to Surry Hills. Sydney favourites Adam Spencer and Mark Jan van der Goot, otherwise known as Chicken and Sons, are taking over the kitchen at Surry Hills pub The White Horse.
Spencer and Jan van der Goot, who've both worked in Michelin-starred restaurants in their time, have brought their delicious burgers, sides and salads to huge crowds in Leichhardt and Chatswood. They've made quite the name for themselves in the Sydney hospo game by doing their fried chicken in a smoker, combining the city's love for smoky barbecue and all things fried. But this time their chicken train is about to stop at one of Crown Street's mainstay pubs — permanently.
From June 9, you'll be able to order from their widely celebrated menu at The White Horse seven days a week. Think truffled mac 'n' cheese, All The Roasted Meats, and that famous buttermilk chicken by the wing, half or whole. Of course, C&S will be cranking out their beloved burgers, from 'The Motherclucker' to the 'Royale with Cheese'. Spencer will be reviving his renowned Sunday Roast, which used to be a hit at the Local Taphouse, serving over 200 covers on a lunch. So get out your elastic-waisted pants and dropsy-disguising patterned shirt — you know the drill.
Chicken and Sons take over the kitchen at The White Horse from June 9. Find 'em at 381 Crown Street, Surry Hills.
