El Perro Negro’s new fried chicken venture
Glasgow burger guru El Perro Negro’s Nick Watkins is opening a new venture in Shawlands next month.
Birds will open within Phillies of Shawlands.
Nick Watkins was recently crowned as the UK’s ‘Burger Chef of the Year’ at the National Burger Awards 2025.
Nick Watkins said “Birds has been in the making for some time, and I’m absolutely buzzing to finally share what we’ve been working on.
“We’ve built a reputation at El Perro Negro for keeping things simple and letting high-quality ingredients do the talking, and Birds will be no different. Partnering with Phillies, a place that has become a real hub for great food and drink, is the perfect fit. We can’t wait for people to see – and taste – what we’ve got in store.”
