TL;DR

Preston’s late-night skewer spot

Tucked behind Preston Market near 888 Supermarket, Zi La BBQ isn’t the kind of place you stumble into by accident. It’s a destination β€” a smoky, sizzle-filled corner serving up Northern Chinese BBQ skewers until midnight, seven days a week.

You’ll find all the good stuff here: lamb, pork belly, squid, chicken wings, sausages, ribs, kidneys β€” seasoned with cumin, chilli and grilled to juicy, charred perfection. Alongside the crowd favourites, you’ll also find regional specialities like pork intestines, beef tendon, lamb testicle and more. Rice cakes round it all out with a satisfyingly chewy bite.

Street food vibes, carpark setting

There’s no fuss β€” just coals, smoke and speed. The team works fast, the grill stays hot, and the food lands quick. It’s got the buzz of a proper street stall, complete with cheerful chaos and the smell of meat in the air.

Come hungry, leave late

Zi La BBQ is open until midnight every night, and it’s packed for a reason. Whether it’s a casual midweek feed or a post-drinks pilgrimage, this spot hits hard and lingers long after the last skewer’s been picked clean.

It’s not polished. It’s not Instagram bait. But it is seriously good barbecue, and once you’ve been, you’ll know exactly where to find it.
