Anchor Retail Park, Marina Way
Hartlepool
TS24 0XR
01429 804008
Halal: 
No
Nearby: 
The retail park is next to Hartlepool United FC and is also home to a Vue cinema. Hartlepool Train station is pretty much on the retail park too - and you are a stone's throw from Hartlepool Bay and the Marina - well worth a visit!
Parking: 
Lots of free parking spread across Anchor Retail Park (and other retail parks next to it) - although be aware of additional restrictions on match days, as Victoria Park (Hartlepool United) football ground is next to the retail park.

Beanie burger had a weird chemical after taste. Warm chocolate pud came without the chilli orange sauce. No explanation as to why. Didn't realise till waitress had gone. Wasn't the same without it. Shame.

Chicken burger that was grilled had a horrific amount of mayo on. The mash was ok and the spicy rice. Waitresses looked miserable except when giving the food. Not really sure of the atmosphere of the staff. First ever nandos and probably the last i suppose. Really disappointed.

I got the new salad with plants strips. Firstly they ran out of hummus which they only informed me after I ordered, but they offered me halloumi instead, I was okay with this. Then my salad came with out the plant chicken. I had to wait 10 mins for this, and it came our separate, it was chewy and just not very nice at all. The rest of the salad was nice but would be better with hummus. My boyfriends meal had no problems.

This Nando's is on Anchor Retail Park - which is anchored (no pun) by a big Asda and Morrisons - so there is loads of free parking... although because the retail park is also next to Victoria Park, home of the might Monkey Hangers, there are some additional restrictions on match days. The retail park is also home to a Vue cinema and Hartlepool Train station is pretty much on the retail park too - and you are a stone's throw from Hartlepool Bay and the Marina - well worth a visit!
