This Nando's is on the Rushden Lakes leisure park. There are an ever increasing number of shops opening here and also soon to be a Cineworld (not yet open as of Xmas 2018) as well as other eateries such as Five Guys, Wildwood etc. Nando's is the furthest drive away and you currently cannot see it with the building fences dotted around the car park, so drive past Five Guys and you'll see it. You can hire a canoe and go out onto the Rushden Lakes too. There is no train station in Rushden, so the nearest is Wellingborough - four miles away
Parking: 
The leisure park offers five hours free parking.

Disappointed to see teens smoking e-cigarettes whilst sitting at their table in the restaurant. We mentioned this to our waiter but he shrugged his shoulders. He should have taken this to his manager to deal with. Also unimpressed as the table we were given was dirty. Disappointed overall as we have visited this restaurant before.

I was served by the most friendly yet professional manager called Joel and a bloke called Aron who was very respectful. I have never experienced such lovely service by these two lovely members of staff. Please thank them for me….Happy customer Rev. Lawrence Asiedu

I am very disappointed in the Nando’s at rushden lakes. Myself and my partner come in at 12ish. Sat at our table and ordered our meal. I called a young lad over due to not knowing how to customise an order. He was less then helpful. My meal arrived and it was wrong and had no salad in it. I asked for another to be made with salad and the girl stated ‘ we ent none’. No apology no nothing.

A really good Nando’s. The service was good and the food was lovely. Very easy location to park at, plenty of spaces. Been to this Nando’s many times and the only problem is that when ordering food, I always find it difficult to hear the staff due to the noise in the background.

This Nando's is on the Rushden Lakes leisure park. There are an ever increasing number of shops opening here and also soon to be a Cineworld (not yet open as of Xmas 2018) as well as other eateries such as Five Guys, Wildwood etc. Nando's is the furthest drive away and you currently cannot see it with the building fences dotted around the car park, so drive past Five Guys and you'll see it. The leisure park offers five hours free parking.
