About Pepe's

On White Sands in Dumfries, Pepe's is a fast food restaurant built around flame-grilled Piri Piri chicken, marinated specially for the Pepe's brand. The chicken is Halal and is served with a side salad, while chips and rice are also served as sides. The menu also includes a paneer burrito and chicken loaded fries for those who want something other than the chicken plate. Orders are placed at the till, and dine-in customers have their name called out to collect their order. The restaurant is walk-in and has a seating area for eating on site. Every order placed through the Pepe's app or website enters a prize draw, with holidays, bundles and vouchers among the prizes.

Customer Review Summary

Diners who praise Pepe's point first to the chicken, described as well cooked and fall off the bone in the wings, served with a salad one reviewer says balances the flavours. Crispy chips, fluffy rice, a crispy Irn Bru and a paneer burrito with sweet chilli sauce also earn compliments, and several call the food fresh and full of flavour. The complaints are just as specific. One vegetarian was handed a chicken burrito instead of the paneer one ordered, and another reviewer describes a wrong order with some food barely warm and a thin chicken fillet. Others report a rude, impatient person at the till, a delivery driver who sat on a phone call while the order waited, and delivered chicken loaded fries with a mild flavour buried under ketchup, though that reviewer finds eating in fine. One says the food was simply not good. Reviewers also mention friendly staff and a clean seating area, and one parent recalls staff adding ice to a glass of water for baby formula, then frying a few unsalted chips for a fussy daughter.

    “We had a really good experience at Pepe’s. The food was fresh, tasty, and exactly what we were hoping for, but what really stood out was the kindness of the staff. I asked for a glass of water to cool down my baby’s formula, and when the lady realised what it was for, she thoughtfully added some ice without me even asking. Later, my daughter became quite fussy while we were eating, so I asked if they happened to have an unsalted chip for her to munch on. They didn’t, but the gentleman working there kindly fried a few unsalted chips just for her. It’s little acts of thoughtfulness like these that make such a difference, especially when you’re out with a baby. The staff went above and beyond, and we really appreciated their kindness. Thank you—we’ll definitely be back!”

    “I am writing to express my disappointment with the service I received during my recent visit to this Peppe location. I have been a regular customer for some time and have always enjoyed my experiences, which is why this visit was so shocking. The member of staff who served me was a female employee. From the moment I entered the restaurant, the customer service was poor. The female member of staff at the till was noticeably rude, unfriendly, and appeared impatient while taking my order. Rather than making me feel welcome, she gave the impression that serving me was an inconvenience. After placing my order, I realised I needed some extra serviettes and cutlery. When I went to get them, the same female member of staff again appeared irritated and looked visibly annoyed simply because I had approached the counter. I was also disappointed by the way my food was handed over. As I was dining in, my name was called out in what I felt was a rude and dismissive manner for me to collect my order. What made the situation even more upsetting was witnessing other customers being treated very differently. They were greeted warmly, spoken to politely, and some even had their food brought to their tables. It was difficult not to notice the clear difference in the way I was treated compared with those around me. The attitude displayed by this member of staff, and the overall behaviour of the team during my visit, was unprofessional and unacceptable. Every customer deserves to be treated with respect, courtesy, and consistency, regardless of who they are. No one should leave a restaurant feeling unwelcome or singled out because of the way they were treated. As someone who has supported Peppe for a long time, I am extremely disappointed that this was my experience. I hope this feedback is taken seriously because the level of customer service I received fell far below the standard I have come to expect from Peppe.”

    “Super delicious—I would definitely say it has been an amazing experience at Pepe’s Piri Piri. The variety of food they serve is impressive, and the quality of both the food and the customer service is excellent. The staff are friendly, and the overall atmosphere makes every visit enjoyable. I would highly recommend Pepe’s Piri Piri to everyone, whether you’re a vegan or a non-vegetarian. There’s something delicious for everyone!”
