Marinate
24 hours in a buttermilk bath with our house spice blend — every piece, every time.

Premium fried chicken & peri peri — crafted fresh in Garelochhead. Home delivery or collection.
At Chick Shack, we believe fried chicken should be an experience — not an afterthought. Every piece is marinated for hours, hand-coated in our signature blend of spices, and fried to golden, crispy perfection.
Our peri peri is made from scratch using authentic African bird’s eye chillies, blended with fresh herbs and citrus. Two heat levels — Mild or Hot — both built from real, layered flavour.
No shortcuts. No freezer-to-fryer. Just four honest steps between the bird and the box.

Flame-grilled over open heat for peri peri. Pressure-fried golden for the classics.

Two levels of peri peri. Both built from scratch, both worth ordering.
Peri peri means “pepper pepper”in Swahili — a name Portuguese traders gave to the African bird’s eye chilli. We take those chillies, blend them with fresh garlic, herbs, and citrus, and cook the sauce down in-house until it’s bold, bright, and layered.
Every grilled item is basted to order. Choose Mild for warmth and depth, or Hot for the full chilli kick. No gimmicks, no Scoville-ladder theatre — just two honest heats, both worth ordering.

A few early reviews from around the Gare Loch. More rolling in every week.
“Best fried chicken I’ve had outside a proper city. Peri peri hot absolutely slaps. Delivery was quick and still piping hot.”
“The Big Shack is ridiculous — in the best way. Honest flavour, proper portions. Kids love the popcorn chicken.”
“Finally a takeaway in Garelochhead that takes food seriously. Staff are top and the menu works for the whole family.”
