Q&N Piri Piri

Tucked into the busy Fishponds stretch of east Bristol, Q&N Piri Piri is a flame-grill takeaway built around the smoky, spiced chicken that gives it its name. The flagship Peri Peri Chicken comes in quarters, halves and whole birds across a range of heat levels, joined by loaded wraps, burgers and stacked platters. Alongside the grill the kitchen also turns out freshly made pizzas, so a mixed group can pair charred chicken with a stone-baked classic.

Locals treat it as a dependable mid-week dinner stop rather than a special occasion, and a steady stream of regulars reflects that. It is rated 4.3 out of 5 by Uber Eats diners and holds a Food Hygiene Rating from the Food Standards Agency, so kitchen standards are on record. Portions are generous, the peri sauces run from mild to genuinely fiery, and quick counter service keeps the queue moving whether you collect on the way home or order for delivery.
