The Rooster Stove — Restaurant in St. Helier

We had an absolutely amazing lunch here today. Two kids, wife and I were looking for somewhere nice, relaxing and with good food - and boy did we. It was brilliant. Greeted by the owner (who was lovely) and made to feel really welcome. Son and I had the roast chicken between us - it was incredible. Cooked perfectly. Chips were lovely, corn on the cob was just right and the peri peri sauce was so good even my son (who generally just eats ketchup) was fighting me for it. Daughter had a baked potato which she wolfed down before I could “assist” and my wife had the best looking shawarma wrap I’ve seen on Jersey (and apparently the best she’s ever eaten).

The Stove also has a lunch bar around the outside window with phone and laptop charging points (they even have cables!!!!). It’s 1 minute from Patriotic Street Car Park and 5 minutes from the shore.

This place is without doubt my favourite place now to go in town. We will 100% be back. And of note thanks so much to the owner for chatting with the kids - it really did mean...

Came here recently with partner for food as it was close to where we were staying. Very decent selection of food on the menu and decent beer too. The guy running it was friendly and attentive. Ordered one of the half roast chicken meals. Very well presented and very tasty. Good wholesome food at a reasonable price. Beer was also good. Venue and facilities were clean. For a small establishment it was a great find and we went back again a few days later for more good food and beer. Next time in St Hellier we will visit again for sure. I have no hesitation in recommending The Rooster...

Sadly not a good experience. We went twice during our stay at the hotel nearby. Both times the gentleman who served us was rude and unhelpful. Didn’t seem to want our business. The food is actually reasonably nice but service is a let down. Would definitely never go again. Also noticed the same man who does the serving of customers touched food with his hand when he was bought it by the kitchen staff. For me this is unhygienic somebody who is touching cash, the card machine and other things around the restaurant shouldn’t put their bare hands on food if...
