Pepe's

You're walking down High Street past the usual suspects when you spot the queue snaking out of Pepe's. It's worth the wait. This is proper peri-peri: birds rotisserie'd until the skin's blistered and dark, then chopped into portions that actually satisfy. Order a half or full chicken with the fiery sauce if you've got the stomach for it, or stick with medium if you're sensible. Sides are solid—rice, spiced chips, coleslaw—but the star is always the bird itself. It's fast food in the best sense: quick, unpretentious, and genuinely delicious. Perfect for a Friday night when you can't be bothered with faff but won't compromise on flavour.
