On the plate

What comes with the Spicy Peri-Peri Half Chicken

  1. 01

    Half chicken

    The roasted half chicken provides juicy meat beneath charred, crisp skin, making it the substantial centre of the plate.

  2. 02

    Peri-peri sauce

    The spicy marinade brings smoky, tangy and hot notes that flavour the chicken rather than simply accompanying it.

  3. 03

    Chips

    Golden chips accompany the chicken, giving the plate a familiar pub meal side alongside the strongly flavoured meat.

  4. 04

    Creamy coleslaw

    Creamy coleslaw offers a cooling contrast to the peri-peri heat and a change from the chicken and chips.

The dish

What the Spicy Peri-Peri Half Chicken is like

Expect smoky, tangy heat and a contrast between juicy chicken and crisp, charred skin. The half chicken is thoroughly marinated in spicy peri-peri sauce before roasting, so the seasoning is part of the meat’s flavour rather than just a finishing touch. This is a bold chicken dish, with a pronounced kick rather than a gently seasoned profile.

Golden chips and creamy coleslaw complete the plate. The chips sit alongside the strongly flavoured chicken, while the coleslaw provides a cooling contrast between mouthfuls. If you enjoy smoky notes as well as chilli heat, the marinade is the main reason to choose it. Diners looking for mild seasoning should consider another option.

Value

Price within this section£9.49
Lowest £6.49Highest £9.49

At a typical £9.49, this is worth considering if you want half a chicken with chips and coleslaw already included. Prices vary by pub, so judge the value against the menu where you plan to eat rather than assuming the same cost everywhere.

Compare it with the Lemon and Herb Half Chicken if you want another half-chicken option, or the Southern-Fried Chicken Strips Basket if you are weighing up a different format. Many mains can be ordered with an eligible drink, but check whether this dish qualifies locally before comparing meal costs.

Occasions

When to order the Spicy Peri-Peri Half Chicken

  • Fans of chilli heat

    Choose this if you actively enjoy spicy chicken. The peri-peri marinade combines heat with smoky and tangy notes, rather than offering a mild seasoning.

  • A substantial pub meal

    The half chicken, chips and coleslaw suit diners looking for a substantial main with its accompaniments included, without needing to choose a separate side.

  • Crisp skin enthusiasts

    This is a useful choice if texture matters as much as seasoning. Roasting gives the chicken charred, crisp skin, while the meat is described as juicy.

Ordering tips

Tips for ordering the Spicy Peri-Peri Half Chicken

  • Check the price at your chosen pub before ordering, since £9.49 is a typical price rather than a fixed charge across locations.

  • Ask about the heat if you are unsure about spicy food. The description points to a pronounced kick, not a mild marinade.

  • Count the included chips and coleslaw when planning your order, so you do not add an extra side without considering the full plate.

  • Check current milk and egg allergen information before ordering, especially if you plan to request a different accompaniment or sauce arrangement.

  • Confirm whether an eligible drink can be included with this main, then compare the meal option with ordering your preferred drink separately.
