Marrow House One fire. One bird. Done properly.

The chicken cafe at the end of the road

Marrow House cooks one bird, one fire, one short menu. No shortcuts, no filler. Come for a roast plate at midday or a stock-and-broth bowl on a cold night, sit at the counter, watch the coals do the work.

Marrow House sits on a quiet strip of road in the inner west, where the smell of roasting chicken reaches the footpath before the door does.
