PLACE: Table 9. This Nando's is on a street that has all the glamour of an iPhone theft. The only thing on Woolwich high street that has any kind of heritage is the 3000th UK McDonalds restaurant opened in the 70s. The road is cold and depressing but Nando's shines out to provide poultry to the area's troubled youths. It is a miniature 'dos (or miniNan) and you share a lot of head space with your neighbouring tables. It was akin to Fran's diner in Toronto - 6/10
HOST: babe (all lower case on the receipt). Babe was far from a babe. She didn't look like a babe, she didn't act like a babe, she didn't even dress like a babe. But she did keep calling me 'darling'. Maybe she thought that was my name. She was nice enough and patient with my mega feast order but she deserves a name more like 'pleasant' or 'notbad' - 5/10
FOOD: Bit of a let down. Small 'slaw. The pitta suffered from that all-too-common problem of unbalancement. Basically the top half is a stone-cold, dry salad with ice-cold pineapple and the bottom is gloriously hot mayonnaise, chicken and cheese feast. Pittas should be a food orchestra playing a symphony of flavours working in harmony together to create oral pleasure. This was more of an orchestra doing a soundcheck. The instruments were great individually, but the conductor made no effort to make them play their beautiful song. The chicken leg was a bit gross and under-grilled, the skin fell off sloppily like the hen died of leprosy. Nice oyster though- 5/10
