Leeds Skelton Lake Services
LS9 0AS
0113 887 6994
Halal: 
No
Nearby: 
These services are nestled in between Skelton Country Park and Temple Newsam. The walk to Temple Newsam is about 1.5 miles and the circular walk of Skelton Lake is also 1.5 miles - and you can walk further along the Aire and Calder Canal if you fancy. Nice on a sunny day :)
Parking: 
This Nando's is in the new Skelton Lake Services, off J45 of the M1 - so as with all Services, you get a couple of hours free parking.

We had a great time - kids loved it, tasty food, Lauren was amazing, couldn’t have been friendlier or kinder or more helpful with us or the kids. Really great Nando’s, made by amazing service. Will definitely be back.

Harry at Skelton Lake services was so lovely and polite. He made sure we had everything we needed and offered to refill our drinks when they were empty which I have never experienced before! Observing Harry, I feel he will go far with his work ethic and people skills.

Well done. Much appreciated!

Very disappointed, chicken was dry seamed that was not freshly cooked. Garlic bread was terrible. Seamed that was reheated over and over again. More people were complaining of the food.

Staff member Jacob was particularly helpful at our visit. He welcomed us at the door and helped us with seating as we had a newborn in a car seat. Ensured the space was clean. Made conversation whilst seating us and handing us menus. Asked how the meal was during service which we had no complaints about.
