About Nando's Trowbridge
Nando's Trowbridge, on Unit 1 St Stephen's Place, serves flame-grilled peri-peri chicken in African bird's-eye chilli at different heat flavours, alongside wraps for those wanting an alternative to the standard chicken orders. Pastel de nata pastries sit near the counter at checkout, and condiment stations are set out at the tables for the peri-peri sauces. Seating is walk-in rather than reserved, and a wait for a table is common during busy periods, though quieter times can mean sitting straight down. The car park at the restaurant can fill up quickly when the restaurant is busy, and noise levels rise enough at full capacity to make conversation difficult. The format keeps to counter ordering throughout, with no reservation system in place.

Customer Review Summary
Fast, tasty food and friendly service draw the most consistent praise, with reviewers repeatedly calling meals delicious and staff helpful, several naming servers by name for their friendliness. Close behind, the atmosphere gets singled out as buzzy and enjoyable, though one large group found it so loud that normal conversation became impossible. Specific dishes come up too: a new wrap is described as delicious, and one visitor was given free pastel de natas near closing. Complaints are scattered but concrete: one diner found their chicken still pink and unable to be eaten, another's takeaway halloumi arrived burnt and rubbery, and one reviewer reports a chicken burger delivered with an unlisted extra item, met with what they called a nonchalant response and a refund offer. A couple of reviewers also note rising prices making frequent visits harder. Despite these, most describe quick service, quick food, and would return.

“The service was fantastic, and our food arrived quickly. 🥳 We had a lovely evening, just like in the past. It's a shame the rising prices make it hard to frequent as often. 😔 Still, a great spot! 👍✨”

“Me and my partner just visited for some dinner after our cinema trip and we wanted to say how amazing the level of service is whenever we come here, particularly from Charlie who served us this evening. He was so friendly and helpful. Lovely experience and can’t wait to come again!”

“Popped in for a meal yesterday eve. Food was fast and delicious and wasn’t too busy. Stopped on the way out to grab a couple of pastel de natas (sorry for the spelling) and they kindly gave them to us for free as it was near the end of the evening! Amazing service. Will return.”

“came in last night, service was terrible. we got out drink at exactly the same time our food arrived (they were dead quiet) i was unable to eat some of my chicken as it was pink. i’ve never had a bad experience in there before but it felt like it was just a bunch of girls stood around for a laugh (there were no men on shift for some reason.) What i presume was the manager was just leant on the counter on her phone for the full duration of our visit. Condiments were also not filled up.”
