Waited an hour for our mains. With two kids aswell. Initially told after 50mins they couldn’t say when our food would be there. We were told that it’s busy at weekends cause deliveroo has a 50% offer on. Like that was a reasonable explanation?! Shocking.

This Nando’s was amazing, really great service, attentive staff, a couple of hiccups but the manager (Drew?) came over and resolved them immediately.
Definitely coming back with my family for another amazing night out!
Great service, lovely, caring staff who helped us throughout the night, nothing was too much as we weee a large group with all ages.
And of course, fantastic food!
A big thank you to all the Bolton staff of Nando’s!!

A huge thanks to the waiter who, when I once again mourned the discountinued Peri Pomegranate Dressing (gone but never forgotten), suggested Peritame sauce and then brought us some. It's no peripom but it was delicious.

Toby was the kindest most helpful server I have ever had, was professional, courteous, well dressed and when not dealing with customers was always cleaning, I will come again just for the service . The food was excellent also.

I live very close to this Nandos, it is in the town centre of Bolton so very easily accessible with local public transport also available nearby. There is parking available in the shopping centre, which is often very busy. The bus station is about an 5 minutes walk away and the train station is about 10.

We were welcomed and seated by a man called Christian who immediately noticed that I am about 9 months pregnant and so took us to a nice big table. He went out of his way to make sure we had plenty of space and i was comfortable. Thank you Christian!
