Newy Fried Chicken moved onto Darby Street at the end of February 2026, taking over the former Wil & Sons site at number 102. The original Broadmeadow shop stays open for takeaway.
The Darby Street venue seats 80 to 100 people across a dining room, a bar and a pool room with a round pool table. Burgers come with fries. Two salads work as a side or as a meal with chicken tenders. Desserts include banana pudding and ice cream with waffles. The bar pours Newcastle beers.
It opened for lunch and dinner seven days a week. Check the live hours on this page before you go.
