A NEW food outlet opened in style in Southampton.

Roosters Piri Piri in Southampton High Street, welcomed punters for the first time on Wednesday.

The opening was also a charity event, in aid of The Talking Echo – a ‘talking newspaper’ for the blind and visually-impaired.

Dozens of hungry people enjoyed fresh grilled food and also took part in a raffle.

It is the fourth Roosters Piri Piri, in Southampton in addition to those on Portswood Road, Shirley High Street and London Road.

The outlet, is next to Coriander Lounge, in place of the former Olive Garden restaurant.
