Teddington

Mid- week dinner with Gerry at the Teddington branch, this is a new branch to me.
As it was after 6.30 pm I found free parking in the road opposite. However, I am not sure if this is freely available at other times, it’s a residential road so could be ‘permit only.’
I think it was 15 minutes wait for the food to arrive, but was busy catching up and trying to thaw out from the freezing weather outside, so a tiny wait was not an issue.

Lovely Nandos. I drove past it twice as I didn't realise it was underneath the hotel, but it is a reasonable location. I don't know about the transport-I went at a time when parking was free in adjoining streets. I went with a friend and we bumped into someone I used to work with previously. We were treated like royalty and we had a fabulous time. My food accidentally came out as for takeaway but it was soon sorted. All the staff (not just the guy I knew) were friendly and fun.

Dinner and catch up with my former work colleague took us to Nando's Teddington. It was this one over Richmond as there are free places to park if you can find one. Despite driving past a really good spot, my friend found another within ten minutes driving around.

I always dread going to this branch because the chicken is still slightly pink inside. Not enough to turn someone's stomach, but for a chicken fan like me, noticeable.

I don't like visiting this branch as normally the chicken is still pink inside. I was in the area just before 3pm so went in for a late lunch (only had breakfast at 11). There were maybe 4 other tables occupied so no waiting for seating or serving, and used one of my red rewards to get a half chicken mango and lime with peri chips and garlic bread. This isn't the first time I've not had the sweet mash but I didn't know what to start eating first.

This Nando's is tucked away underneath a Travelodge just away from the main road. There are plenty of on street parking bays which are free after 5pm and some other close but small short stay car parks (like Cedar Road) which price at an odd 55p/30mins. Teddington train station is also just a few minutes walk away.

As a young restaurant, I have been delighted with Nandos Teddington; it's simply the breast... Food is great, just the right amount of burn on the chicken. Extremely friendly staff (props to Sian and Michael who provide excellent front of house service). Decoration is good, with the added bonus of an outdoor area for the summer months.

Toilets were great and had a Dyson airblade, so cant complain there.

Overall a peri-peri good experience indeed.

This store whilst marked up as 2 Station road you won't spot the store by going down Station road as its set back from the High street on the roundabout with Waldegrave road with a little landscaped park area separating it from the road. There is a small outside eating area on the raised terrace with privacy provided by large planters. Large windows and a wood theme welcome you into the store.

Staff young and lack of proper management keeping a close eye on the dirty tables that took long enough to be clean. That really put me off as all i could think is the state of the kitchen how clean could it be. My chicken fillet pitta came with the salad in the filling all wilted and pretty disgusting. The corn on the cob in the kids menu was pretty awful too and his chicken was all dry and not looking its best.
