Nando’s

This place is always so busy! It’s a bonus if you end up in one of the booth seats towards the right and left hand side of the restaurant, as being seated in the more communal feel of the center of this branch of Nando’s often leads to feeling crammed in and enduring other people’s conversations as well as their screaming children.
Aside from the issue of crowding, the food here is excellent and served very promptly. You never usually have to wait for very long to be served and, once you have, your food will be at your table within 10 minutes. A large glass of wine here means LARGE — filled to the brim! So it’s excellent value for money.
The toilets are very cramped, with a really small area for washing and drying hands and only two cubicles, which can be problematic due to the issue of how busy this place gets.
There’s not really much more to say, it’s Nando’s — most already know what to expect!

Normally get takeaway from here and it’s always hot and tasty. Had an issue with my last order where they had run out of mushrooms so they rung me and were extremely apologetic and loaded up both my burgers with other extras for free. Great service!

Whenever I’m in england I try to go here. I love their spicy chicken in a pita with pernaise and all the different versions of peri peri sauce. The service has always been good with friendly staff and the food arrives quickly and hot. I find this place works out great if there area few if you.
They have a kids menu and they can have non spiced chicken also. Their meals come with a frozen yogurt at the end.
I know a few guys that go for the whole chicken (which is massive) and the plate is always empty with no complaints. They also have a couple of good Portuguese wine choices. I give this place my yum yum rating.

Having heard a lot of hype about Nando’s before ever having gone I think it is somewhat overrated as a whole. Ok, so the food is good but not THAT good. It is just seasoned Chicken after all. Excellent post workout high Protein food though.
It is good here though. Best time to go is during the week as it isn’t too busy — being in Dockside not many people go there other than for the cinema.
The food is pretty good but service could be better. It isn’t a waiter service so you go in and choose your own table before then going to the till point and ordering where you also get your own drink, cutlery ect. They do have free refill drinks here though which a lot of places are catching onto now (seeing as it only costs about 2p for a pink of Coke it’s about time too!).
The Chicken is nice and fresh and I like the fact that the kitchen is open so you can see it being cooked. if you’re close to the till point anyway. Reasonably priced too — even better when it’s free. My last visit here I managed to get a few vouchers for whole free chicken. 4 of us went along and with a loyalty card too and got 3 and a half Chickens between us! (I only had a quarter with salad though — honest!) The staff must have hated us that day! But they were nice enough not to show it.
NOTE: If you’re vegetarian or want something other than Chicken — don’t go here!!! (yes. a couple of visit’s I overheard people moan that they only had Chicken on the menu. Sheesh!).
