Brother Hen is a local favourite in the North West — chooks, charm, and truly delicious food. And let Mamma tell you, this cosy Moonee Ponds favourite lives up to every word.

What truly sets Brother Hen apart is the little surprise out the back: the resident chooks. Yes, actual chickens happily clucking away in their coop, bringing pure joy to every little visitor. Nothing beats sipping a hot coffee while the kids are mesmerised by a couple of feathered friends doing their thing.

Now let’s talk food! The breaky menu is full of heavy hitters: smashed avo, an amazing breaky board, ham hock benny, and the most dreamy ricotta hotcakes that Mamma ever could see. Swing back at lunchtime and it’s a whole new delicious dilemma: poke bowls, stacked chicken or beef burgers, bao buns, and tacos that hit the spot every single time.

For the little people, the kids’ menu is huge! We’re talking waffles, fluffy hotcakes, eggs any way, chicken and chips, fish and chips, toasties — basically, something for every mini. And yes, portions are generous enough that Mamma may or may not steal a bite (or three!)

And just when you think Brother Hen couldn’t get any more convenient, they go and offer dinner packs and some groceries to take home — heat-up lasagnes, fresh eggs, and even picnic boxes that feed up to four for brekky or lunch.

Good food, relaxed atmosphere, kids entertained, and take-home options for those nights where cooking feels like a distant dream - Brother Hen ticks all of Mamma’s boxes!
