Although it was very busy we were quickly seated, Emi was professional, yet friendly and made us feel welcome. The services were excellent and the food definitely worth coming back for.

The staff were amazing, the fire alarm went off just as we had ordered. They dealt with it all within half an hour and refunded our meals yet gave them for free due to the disruption. Emily and Sinead were amazing!

Miserable waitress, no smile, only called out each plate of food. Had to chase a missing plate of food, which she took to another table, no sorry for mistake or even here’s your food. Just put in front of person and walked away. Then found a grey hair in another person mash. A different waitress said ‘what do you want me to do about it?’ Eventually a manager came and asked the same question! Got a refund on this plate of food, but will think twice about going to this Nando’s again.

Me and my 2 friends had a great fab visit! All of the staff were extremely friendly, welcoming and couldn’t do enough for you! With the new COVID measures in place, the place is running exceptionally well! Food was 10/10. One member of staff in particular was great, very attentive and hard working. (I wish I could name him but he wasn’t wearing a badge. He was wearing a black polo top and had a crown tattoo on his arm). Keep up the great work guys!

Down in Devon for the weekend, so made sure I stopped in on this Nando's. It's on the Drake Circus retail park in the new Barcode Centre. The Barcode has its own parking and is fairly pricey, priced at £2.80/2hrs, £4/3hrs, £5/4hrs, £6/5hrs, £7/6hrs and £12/24hrs - with an evening rate of £2 for arrivals after 5pm. There's also a Cineworld in the Barcode. It's just over half a mile walk from Plymouth train station too.
