Papas Piri Piri

Papa's Piri Piri is a Portuguese-style charcoal grill on Wherstead Road in south Ipswich, one of very few authentic piri piri specialists in the city. The kitchen centres on fresh charcoal-grilled chicken marinated in African bird's eye chilli sauce, served alongside espetadas, bitoque, octopus and grilled fish from a menu written partly in Portuguese. TripAdvisor reviewers — who give it a 96 per cent recommendation rate — single out the grilled salmon and the piri piri chicken as outstanding, praising bold marinade flavours and generous portions. The relaxed neighbourhood atmosphere, friendly staff and good-value pricing make it a regular haunt for south Ipswich locals. The Wherstead Road location sits close to the River Orwell and the historic Stoke Bridge neighbourhood.
