Pericos

Birmingham locals have a soft spot for Pericos, a no-fuss grill spot that's been turning out generous portions of flame-kissed meat. With a Google rating of 3.4/5 from nearly 500 reviews, it’s the kind of place that earns its loyal following through consistent, hearty cooking rather than flashy presentation. The kitchen keeps things straightforward – think charred chicken, smoky lamb chops, and sizzling mixed grills that arrive piled high and smelling of the open fire.

What sets Pericos apart is its unapologetically bold seasoning and the way it handles the grill – everything comes with a proper crust and juicy centre. The peri-peri chicken is a standout, marinated and cooked until the skin crisps up just right. Whether you're after a quick lunch or a weekend feast, this place delivers honest, satisfying grub without any pretence. Order straight from the menu for a proper feed – they serve across Birmingham, so your next flame-grilled fix is never far away.
