Quality food and
magical experiences

Our special Piri family recipe comes from a voyage of discovery: a secret marinade that is pure piri piri perfection. After years of loving attention to create a true Portuguese taste packed full of flavour, we can't wait to share our mouthwatering dishes with a unique Piri twist.

Made from quality natural ingredients, everything is freshly prepared and never scrimps on flavour. Gather the family, grab and go, or drop in after a day on the fells.

Just eaten at Piri Fresco. Really good quality food, significantly better than Nandos.

Nice place, good food, prompt service. We had mixed wings (10) for starters, three burgers and a portion of fries, all for £79 which I thought was fair value. Will visit again.

We shared a extra hot chicken platter for two, with peas, piri salt fries and coleslaw as sides. The greeting was very friendly and all the staff were great. The food was excellent with a nice hit of spice and a little sweetness.

Wanted chicken, got chicken and more. Fabulous service; everyone is so friendly, the vibes are great; sat in the window watching the world go by. If you want chicken, this is the place.

Food was very tasty and fairly priced, atmosphere was casual but relaxing and the service was prompt which allowed me to dine without having to wait for a server.

Excellent place, one of the best restaurants in Keswick. Fresh food, friendly staff and great value for money! This is definitely a place you want to be eating if you come to Keswick! We usually come a few times during our stay in the Lakes so that says it all!
