Manchester - Piccadilly

Another overnight stay with work meant another Nando's boneless platter and I headed to the Piccadilly branch before heading off to my hotel in the Trafford Cricket Ground (date again an estimate).

I have to say I'm extremely disappointed with my order. I went to nandos straight from work to order 5 spicy chicken wings as takeaway.I ended up waiting for about half and hour for the wings. Finally got home and wanted to eat and the wings were to tiny they should not have cost 6 pounds. As if that wasn't bad enough they were so badly burnt that it was so bitter and I couldn't eat it.

Every nandos is a great nandos for me, I seem to be very fortunate that every time i come to this Nandos the food is superb and that's why I keep going back. The restaurant can get busy but there are two floors so its very unlikely you will ever have to wait around for a table. I had a Butterfly chicken breast with chips and garlic bread which were all cooked to perfection and despite the wait were still hot and the staff were very friendly and helpful when serving me and my girlfriend.

Another RateYourNandos dinner, this time Manchester Piccadilly was the location.. The outlet is located on two levels, the main and the basement. The main level contains the till and grill, and three rows of seats extending through to the back of the outlet. We were placed in the basement, which contains the toilets, a small till point, and a small number of nice tables. Plenty of red. After meet and greet, the raffle (which produced some results!), we went to order.

Parking is very expensive in Manchester spending £12.50 for a few hours on a Sunday afternoon. The store is right in the heart of the city on Piccadilly square. The building is shared with a Zizzi and a supermarket. Lots of seating out front barricaded off from the pavement by box planters which give a degree of privacy. The inside is fresh and pleasant with lots of wood and decor. We were seated downstairs which had a little more privacy, though no phone signal.

Well what better way to round off the fastest England ODI 10 wicket-win than with some peri-peri goodness? As I was at Old Trafford, the short walk to the Metro meant I could easily get to this Nando's. The Manchester Piccadilly Gardens stop is just a minute's walk from this Nando's - and since you are right in the city centre, it means the Nando's is also less than half a mile walk from The Printworks (Odeon), The Arndale and the National Football Museum.
