This Nando's is located in the town centre pretty much in the open Broadway Shopping Centre. There's plenty of parking too. Broadway Square is the nearest with the Cinema car park (for the Cineworld) and Asda car park less than a 1/4 mile walk away. Reasonably priced too - Broadway at 50p/1hr and £1/2hrs, Cinema at £1/1hr and £1.40/2hrs - and Asda at £2 with a refund for in-store purchase of over £5 - and all parking is upwards from there. Bexleyheath Railway Station is also about a mile walk away.

Stopped in on Bexleyheath at about 3pm so it was pretty quiet which meant no wait at all and the food came in only 2 minutes!

It was great as well. The chicken fillet on the burger was thick and juicy and still more than covered the ciabatta. It was caked in sauce too and piping hot. The lettuce and tomato also more than covered the bun. The chips and rice portion were both big and both piping hot as well. Everything was very freshly cooked and tasty.

In the scheme of Nando's, this one hasn't actually been open that long (a few years), but with some of the more recently fantastically decorated ones, the decor in here perhaps seemed pretty average. There's some booth seating running alongside the checkout/serving hatch but then mainly tables and chairs from front to back. The very back wall has several canvas paintings and the ceiling has a sort of zig-zag wavy line effect but overall, it's pretty standard. The stairwell to the toilets is next to the entrance and is enclosed by glass which woudl be better opened up. The stairwell itself is a in a bit of wooden effect lino.

Staff were rather good. Very rare inside the M25 you get people wanting to speak to you but they did a splendid job and much more than your normal meal check-up. Didn't quite make a new bezzie but it was good nonetheless!
