Customer Review Summary
Grilled chicken cooked over coals draws the most consistent praise, with reviewers calling out the full platter and the seasonal Christmas menu items, the "Total Sleigh" and croquettes with a chocolate orange dessert, as standouts. Preordered collection is repeatedly described as ready on time and just as good as eating in, and several call the staff friendly and helpful. Complaints center on inconsistency: one diner found the chicken pitta thrown together with just chicken and lettuce and spicy despite ordering non-spicy, another describes cold chips sent back without resolution and a manager they felt handled the complaint poorly, and one reviewer notes the floor was dirty enough that shoes stuck to it. A few describe service as merely functional, "simply a job with very little customer interaction." One reviewer questioned why a bouncer was posted on a Sunday afternoon.

“The chicken pitta is quite pathetic and for the price is not worth it at all. Looked like it had been made by a kid, just a bit of chicken slapped with a load of lettuce. Everything was spicy despite choosing the non spicy options. Not good food to be honest.”
- Alan Spedding
“Nice grilled chicken cooked over the coals . Plenty of choice on the menu. We ordered 3 starters , 1 main and 2 sides. Service was OK but to the staff it Was simply a job with very little customer interaction.”

“Don’t like leaving bad reviews I just normally wouldn’t go back but just been for lunch Easter Monday and was so disappointed with the customer service (manager). Our food came out and the chips were stone cold, quietly told the young girl who promptly took our plates away to only bring them back a few minutes later still with the cold chips saying her manager had told her off, but we would be getting some more chips. Fifteen minutes went by still no chips, another young staff member came over and apologised and said they would be coming, told her not to bother, certainly won’t be back. All we wanted was hot chips. As a manager myself I would always go and speak to the customer and certainly wouldn’t expect my staff to take cold food back the guy is most definitely in the wrong job and not management material.”

“Decent enough place, and as you'd expect. Can sometimes get a little busy, sort of depends. Nice layout and a bit different in style to other Nandos. Well located, near the station. Staff very nice”
