Quick info
About Nando's Boldon
Nando's Boldon is a restaurant on Abingdon Way in Boldon Colliery, at Boldon Leisure Park next door to Cineworld Cinema, which puts it close to a film before or after a meal. The kitchen cooks flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken, and grillers prepare each order. Halloumi and garlic bread sit on the menu alongside it. Allergy meals are prepared separately, so coeliac diners can order with that care in place. The menu also includes a range of gluten free options.

Customer Review Summary
Staff service is what reviewers raise most, and the strongest example is a coeliac diner who found the team went out of their way to keep everything coeliac safe, with plenty of gluten free options. Others describe a team that stayed professional around a rowdy group and moved diners to a quieter area, and several call the staff friendly or lovely. On the food, reviewers praise the succulent chicken, the halloumi and the saka sauce. The complaints are mostly about consistency. One diner's Double Chicken Pitta arrived cold and dry, and the replacement was reportedly the same chicken covered in sauce. Another needed three attempts to get an order right, including forgotten seasoned fries fixed with seasoning packets. A third found the garlic bread burnt and bitter, an allergy meal arriving several minutes after the rest, and uneven side portions. Another found service slow with food warm rather than hot. Even so, one reviewer calls it a perfect place for food after a film at the cinema next door.

“Staff friendly enough but our experience here was it was rather slow, and some of the food could only be described as warm and not hot. Had better visits to Nandos”

“A Magical Night at Nando’s Boldon Tonight the moon crossed the sun, And Nando’s Boldon joined the fun. With eclipse glasses, smiles and cheer, They made a magical moment here. Summer served with such a smile, Maddie and Claire went the extra mile. And every member of tonight’s crew Made the whole experience feel brand new. A little eerie, a little strange, Watching daylight suddenly change. But thanks to the team, both kind and bright, They made the eclipse a truly magical night. So big thanks to Summer, Maddie and Claire, And all the amazing staff who were there. You embraced the moment, made it special for all — A Nando’s night we’ll remember long after the shadows fall. 🌙☀️🕶️”

“Really disappointed with my visit to Nando's Boldon today. The food was cold and incredibly dry right from the start. My Double Chicken Pitta was completely dried out, and the chicken inside was basically rubber. On top of that, my friend specifically asked for no spices on their food, but it arrived with spice on it anyway. We flagged it to the staff and they took the plates back to sort it out. I honestly couldn't believe it when they brought it back—instead of actually cooking a fresh portion, they clearly just took the exact same rubbery chicken and completely drowned it in sauce to try and hide the fact that it was dry. Absolutely terrible food and really lazy service. Definitely won't be returning to this branch anytime soon.”

“There was a particularly rowdy group in whilst we came for food here but staff handled the situation very well - particularly Sylvia, who ensured ourselves and other customers were sat in a more quiet area and was apologetic for the noise. All the Staff remained professional and handled the situation very well. Despite disruptive diners- we had a great experience, food was good and arrived quickly. Will definitely return!”
