There is a Cineworld on the complex. "Freeport" also has its own train station and Nando's is a few minutes walk from that.

Parking:

There are thousands of free parking spaces dotted around all the car parks. Just head for the one signposted "Freeport Outlet Village" and you'll see Nando's and be closer to it.

Went to Braintree to watch Mamma Mia 2 and had some time to spare so grabbed a cheeky nandos with the squad. Food took a while to come but we didn’t care because there was a lot of banter going on at the table. The food was beaut as always and made our Abba rave sesh in the cinema even better as we didn’t have to buy any food when we went to the cinema after.

When I entered nandos on the 8th of august at precisely 7.43, I had no idea how much I would hate Josh. My squad and I had a delightful meal, and were about to leave when Josh came to take our plates. He asked very politely if everything was okay, to which I responded "yes everything was great thank you" he then asked if there was anything extra I could add.

The food was great hot and tasty, my friend have told me the garlic bread is rock hard but mine was cooked to perfection. The staff were nice to us but you could tell they were rushed off their feet as they seemed very understaffed!! Was a great visit all in all but maybe need a few more team members.

There was a big traffic jam in getting to this store with it being a popular location, Parking was free with lots of it, but again a bit of a fight to get a spot. The store is close by to a Cineworld cinema, a bowling complex and the Braintree swimming centre. There are also many other restaurants in the vicinity. The store's front windows open up to allow the outside in to the store. In the middle of the ceiling is a round indent from which hang many lampshades.

We were sat by a girl with short hair and glasses and she was lovely and friendly and found us a table big enough to have the buggy nearby. We went to the till to order and a man with a curly Argo type hair and a girl with shoulder brown length hair were serving already but I qued and it only lasted a few minutes as they wizzed through the que.

As this was the closest Nando's to Stansted airport that the team was yet to visit, we headed there as soon as I landed from rainy Seville!

After having run the Colchester Half, what better way to re-fuel than with some chicken and chips?? :-D Stopped off at Braintree Nando's on the way back at about 1:30pm on a Sunday and surprisingly it was only half full, so no time to queue and the food came in just under 10 minutes.

Standard Nando's evening with a good friend of mine (although we had both been plenty of times, this was our first together), we got a nice window table to watch all the passers-by go to the Cinema, a nice table that could sit four instead of 2 as well which made it much more comfortable and less stressful.

Popped in for a nice evening meal with the family, the staff (who are always friendly) gave us a choice of where to sit in the restaurant (restaurant was half full at best) so we saw on a nice booth that could probably fit six, very comfy.

Ordered the food, again the staff were friendly, however the wait was about 15-20 minutes as everybody began to eat at the same time in the restaurant so the orders seemed to be very busy.

Well, I popped in for a takeaway on the first payday of 2012. Firstly I did a telephone order prior to collection and the lady taking the order was very polite & friendly, after a 5 minute drive I arrived to the restaurant to collect and was greeted by the staff as I came into the restaurant and at the till whilst I paid (staff were very friendly & polite).
