Bonehead is a fried chicken restaurant and bar on Lower Severn Street in central Birmingham. The compact, energetic venue concentrates on crisp chicken, bold sauces and craft beer rather than a sprawling menu. Its informal format makes it well suited to a quick meal, a late bite or food alongside drinks.
Chicken is served as burgers, wings and tenders, with different seasonings and sauces moving from tangy and savoury to distinctly hot. Burger combinations add cheese, pickles, slaw and house sauces, while fries and loaded sides provide the expected comfort food accompaniments. The kitchen’s narrow focus lets diners choose format and heat without losing sight of the main speciality.
Plant based diners can turn to the Plantera burger and cauliflower bites, supported by meat free sides and sauces. Desserts supply a sweet finish after the salt and spice of the chicken. Guests with allergies should study the latest information and speak with staff, as a small kitchen handling gluten, dairy and other allergens cannot remove every cross contact risk.
A changing craft beer selection is chosen to work with fried food and chilli, joined by cocktails, spirits and alcohol free drinks. The bar atmosphere is part of the experience, but the food remains substantial enough to make Bonehead a restaurant destination in its own right. It is a direct, characterful choice for diners who value crunch, spice and a focused menu.
