The Peri Peri Shack has been serving fiery, flavour-forward chicken in New Westminster since 2015, and it shows. Known for its Portuguese-style peri peri sauces made in-house, the Shack turns simple ingredients into bold meals that keep people coming back. If you want spicy that’s layered and thoughtful rather than just hot for the sake of it, this is the place.

On the menu you’ll find flame-grilled whole chickens, quarter chickens, and their popular Peri Peri Chicken Sandwich, all brushed with one of five signature sauces ranging from Mild Lemon Herb to the extra-hot Inferno. They also offer shareable sides like hand-cut peri peri fries, charred corn with smoked paprika, and a kale and quinoa salad for a lighter option. Portions are generous — whole chickens feed three to four people — and their catering platters are available for parties and office lunches, with options to customise sauce heat and spice levels.

What sets The Peri Peri Shack apart is how they prepare food. Chicken is marinated for at least 12 hours, then grilled over real charcoal for a smoky finish you can taste. The kitchen team includes chefs trained in Portuguese and South African flavours, and staff talk you through sauce choices and spice levels so your order is exactly what you want. They also use locally sourced BC lemons and Fraser Valley produce when possible, which brightens the sauces and salads.

Locals choose The Peri Peri Shack because it feels like a neighbourhood spot with dependable flavour. Families swing by on weekends, workers pick up quick dinners on the go, and regulars know the staff by name. Drop in to try a half-chicken and fries, or book a catering platter for your next get-together, and you’ll see why New Westminster keeps returning.
