Birds, the latest venture from the team behind El Perro Negro and Nick Watkins, is officially open this weekend and promising to serve up some of the best fried chicken Glasgow has to offer. Located within Phillies of Shawlands, Birds describes itself as being about high-quality ingredients, bold flavours, and laid-back, informal dining.
The recently crowned UK ‘Burger Chef of the Year’, Nick Watkins, founder of El Perro Negro and co-owner of Birds, said, “We’re keeping it simple: top-quality ingredients, big flavours, and food that’s made for sharing. We can’t wait for Glasgow to get stuck in.”
The venture is a collaboration that sees Watkins and business partner, Peter McKenna, owner of The Gannet, and also a shareholder in El Perro Negro, joining forces with Luke Miskimmin and Phil Kirkpatrick, the duo behind Phillies.
Luke Miskimmin, co-owner of Phillies, said, “Phillies is built around great food, great drinks, and a great atmosphere – Birds is the perfect fit. The menu is amazing! Glasgow is going to love it.”
