WHAT'S THE DRAW: 'Peri-peri chicken' may remind you of a certain ubiquitous chain, but this one's smaller, tastier and made with a lot more love.

WHAT TO DRINK: The food menu might be on the compact side, but drinks-wise there's a big range of authentic Portuguese cocktails, wines and port.

WHAT TO EAT: Start with delicious garlic prawns (£8.95) – the best dish on the menu – before moving onto a half poussin rubbed with one of three sauces, from mild to 'Dynamite' (£7.95). Want to swerve the bird? Order the spicy sea bass (£13.95) – it may not have the feathers, but it's definitely got the fire.
