About Nando's Taunton
Nando's Taunton is a restaurant at 1 North St in Taunton, near the Orchard shopping centre. The menu centres on PERi-PERi chicken, with the Fino Pitta as a named signature item, and diners choose their heat from the PERi-ometer spice scale. Peri-peri chips come as a side. Sauce is bottomless, and drinks are refillable from a drinks machine. Menus sit at the tables, and a counter at the front handles ordering and updates. Seating continues on an upstairs level, and Nandino meals are made for younger children. The Parade bus stop is right outside the restaurant.

Customer Review Summary
Chicken is the draw reviewers raise most, with several describing it as cooked very well and served hot alongside peri-peri chips and corn on the cob. Close behind are the halloumi sticks, the wings, and the refillable drinks machine, and one family notes their children enjoyed the ice cream. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly, efficient, and welcoming, and a few call the service quick. Others see it as much like any other branch, with the same menu and set up, kept clean and central for shopping. The food draws the sharpest criticism. One diner reports three meals burnt enough to smell the char, with the burn hidden under cheese and sauce. Another found the livers badly cooked, and replacement wings arrived within minutes but underdone. A third found the rice and chips lukewarm even though the chicken was cooked perfectly. One reviewer recalls a portion of fries being replaced with fresh ones immediately and without any fuss.

“Lovely place I try and go as much as possible! The food is always good quality and the staff are happy to help and very kind. Shout out to our server Iago 😛. Would definitely recommend!!!”

“We ate here on a Friday evening, during a stop off on a journey down to Cornwall. Service was friendly and efficient and the food was great. Slight issue with a portion of fries, but they were immediately replaced with fresh ones without any fuss at all. During our meal, one table of young men was getting a little bit rowdy - the manager on duty handled the situation superbly by speaking to them respectfully but firmly. They could tell she wasn't going to stand for any nonsense and improved their behaviour straight away, which led to the rest of the evening being very enjoyable.”

“This is like every other Nandos you've ever been to. Same menu, same set up, same atmosphere. Its kept clean and is in the centre of town so nice and easy to get to if you are out shopping.”
- Anthony Fielding
“One the of the few Nandos where I’ve been able to enjoy my food in peace with my family! I was delighted to be greeted by members of staff and gave a colouring crayons to my grandchild. The food was great and quick and made my Nandos experience great 😁”

“4 stars for the staff, 1 star for the food. 3 of our meals were burnt to such an extent we could smell the char. The burn on mine was deliberately hidden under cheese and sauce. We had a separate bowl for the pieces of char. I left some on my plate for the photos. I’m a big fan of Nando’s and we’ve eaten in restaurants all over the country. This is the first time I’ve had to write a poor review.”
