Bird On A Wire Ormiston

What used to be a fish & chip on Ponsonby Road is now the nation's favourite rotisserie chicken restaurant, and everybody's wired on their moreish, comforting morsels.

Welcome to Bird On A Wire, the passion project of a group of friends who simply wanted to feed the world better food. And that's exactly what they've done, as well as created relaxed social spaces all around New Zealand in which guests can recline and recharge. In Ormiston, it's no different. Large, spacious and beaming with a fun-loving personality, this branch is quirky and cool, making full use of its sky-high ceilings to hang bountiful hanging plants, install a ceiling of twinkling bulbs and welcome in heaps of natural light with its floor-to-ceiling windows. Wonderfully communal thanks to everything being open plan, immerse yourself in the happy-go-clucky communities of BOAW and fully indulge in your all-time favourite comfort food.

As it turns out, there are a million ways to enjoy this humble bird, and BOAW is blowing countless minds. Their pride and joy have to be the rotisserie chicken. Succulent and tender, they are brined twice for the ultimate juicy morsel and paired with your choice of sides. They also have a collection of All Time Favs, which will have you squawking with delight. From buttermilk fried chicken to chicken parmigiana and sticky Korean chicken, these are just a few of BOAW's calling cards... and there's more!

For hand-held eats, opt for a baguette, sandwich or burger. Packed with chicken done all ways, have your spicy, fried, grille or even drenched in meaty gravy. Alternatively, keep it lean and clean with a Bird Bowl that combines fresh and healthy ingredients with... you guessed it... chicken! For free-range, organic meals that still deliver the naughty satisfaction of fast food, it has to be BOAW every time.
