Open flame · Hout Bay

Flame-grilled chicken in Hout Bay, cooked where you can see it

The grill is part of the room at Salt & Roost. Chicken is basted, turned by hand and charred over open flame—then served as quarter, half or full birds, burgers, wraps, wings and kebabs.

Choose your flavour

House bastings, smoke and real char

Choose a house flavour before the chicken reaches the flame: Kazi Dust, Southern BBQ, hot Tikka Masala or Mediterranean herbs and citrus. The menu includes quarter, half and full chicken, chicken kebabs, wings, burgers and wraps, with sides such as chips, sweet-potato chips, coleslaw, chakalaka, garden salad and rooster brood.

The open kitchen means there is no hidden back-room grill. You can watch the baste hit the chicken and see the flame rise from the counter. Eat in, call ahead and collect, order on WhatsApp, or use the linked delivery services on the current Salt & Roost menu.
