Comments - Stand out in our monthly competition! What did you eat? Unique aspects? Parking/transport tips?: 

Parking £1.20 for an hour or £2.20 for 2 in the nearby multi-storey car park.
It was time for me to visit a new Nando's alongside Emma, one of the most well travelled Nando's fans I know!
As you walk in, the branch seems rather standard with a long staircase leading upstairs which resulted in a surprise towards the end of the meal as there was a whole separate seating area and tills to order, not just toilets.

Our orders were taken almost immediately by some very friendly Nandocas including manager Jon who previously worked at Stevenage.

Food arrived within 10 minutes and it was of a high standard. The chips weren't peri-fect, maybe slightly burnt in places but the chicken was scrumptious. My usual left me satisfied but the only criterion potentially letting the branch down was décor which seemed very average. I then ventured upstairs to the toilet and was made to instantly change my opinion as impressive artwork, stylish wooden ceilings and more tills to order shot this one up to a 4.

Although the branch is a bit far from me, I can see myself coming back and would definitely recommend this one!
