Born in Glasgow. Loved nationwide. United by food.

At Black Rooster, our mission is to create good food, for good people, with great times firmly at the heart of everything we do.

Nights-out, nights-in. Friends, family, first dates, best mates, lunchtime catch- ups, late nights, date nights. Big laughs, little talks, hand-in-hand, in a rush, or nowhere else you’d rather be. Young, old and everyone else in between.

This is Peri Peri for the People.
