Barnsley Nando's needs complete new staff who know the difference between chicken wings and chicken thighs. Ordered chicken wings got chicken thighs , I know Barnsley people are so thick ( and this shows how much) not knowing what wings are and what thighs are. I will never step foot back in such a badly run establishment as in Barnsley. Doncaster, Rotherham and Wakefield brilliant as is Watford. What is Barnsley plying at??? Staff are scruffy, manager scruffy no pride in where they work.

We want your outlet in Barnsley to be a huge success- however as an outlet our view is it will struggle - we initially walked past the outlet it actually looked closed no lights showing and did not look like it was open for business how many more people may have walked past how many more missed customers bear in mind when other companies open shop signage might be more notices and brasher - Come on NANDOS think it through we we want you to succeed in Barnsley

Sophie - I think was a manager was having a discussion with a member of staff in the middle of the restaurant dismissing this member of staff for all customers to hear. The member of staff was extremely upset and distraught in the middle of the restaurant. When asking other members of staff for this lady’s name they refused and said they did not want to get involved.

Took ages to be seated, we were told to leave and we’d get a text when a table was ready (which we never received) went back to the restaurant to find out what was happening to be told “oh wonder where the tablet is” and just seated us anyway. food took forever to come out of the kitchen there seemed to be about 20 servers just wandering around aimlessly
