Diego's Rotisserie - Restaurant in Southampton
Proper Portuguese rotisserie where the chicken is the star and the queues prove it. Casual, unpretentious, and absolutely worth the wait.

You'll find yourself on Bedford Place, tucked into what feels like a proper neighbourhood spot rather than a destination restaurant—and that's exactly the appeal. Walk in and the smell of charcoal-grilled peri-peri chicken hits you immediately; it's the kind of aroma that makes your stomach rumble before you've even sat down. The vibe is refreshingly no-nonsense: order at the counter, grab a seat among locals and families, and tuck into generously portioned plates that won't demolish your wallet. The rotisserie does one thing and does it brilliantly—succulent, properly seasoned birds with crispy skin and meat that falls off the bone. Sides are straightforward but honest: chips, rice, salad. It's the sort of place you return to because the food is good and consistent, not because of any fanciness.
