Service were horrendous The chicken was raw And when spoke to the manager he said the kitchen staff always makes sure chicken is cooked to right temperature. the chicken was pink He offered more chicken but it put me off the whole meal. Didn’t offer a refund I’m very particular with chicken it’s it’s not white all the way through don’t serve it. I love Nando’s but this experience has put me off I will not be returning to Nando’s again

Quite possibly the driest chicken I have ever tasted. Chips were luke warm, and soggy. Spicy rice was small portioned, and luke warm. The Portuguese salad was pitiful on size considering the extra cost. Informed staff the chicken was dry as an old shoe and they seemed completely disinterested. They didn’t appear to want to be there. Manager seemed to show zero interest in any complaints - table next to us also complained and left their chicken. Feedback from them? DRY.

John and the team were very polite and delivered great service. Would recommend to a friend. Even gave me a big glass for my water (because I like a big drink of water and don't steal a refill drink) which is a winner.

Great nandos with excellent service. The manageress, I believe her name was Lara, couldn't do enough for us. She was great with our kids and very attentive. The mains and deserts were very tasty, especially the chilli and orange curd on my desert. My youngest was being particularly fussy and she managed the situation brilliantly suggesting a mac and cheese side with garlic bread and a few wings which he loved. We'll be back.

Non existent service. One waitress chewing gum while working. No meals with chicken breasts , no meals with chicken thighs available. That's almost nothing available on the menu. Food then arrived almost cold. Truly atrocious.

I haven't been for a few years and , as good as the food is, it's not as good as it used to be, especially for the price it costs now a days. The hostess didn't really seem bothered on entry. It's a walk in service so requested our table and waited. Three groups that came after us were sat before us. The blonde lady at the till, I think Katrina?, when we ordered was lovely at least, friendly, helpful and the only person with a smile and seemed to actually care. Then it went down hill. There was plenty of space in the area we were sat and the hostess decided to pull together a big table that sat pretty much on my lap with a screaming baby sat literally less than a foot away from me, which made our visit very unpleasant. There was so little room because of this it was a genuine struggle to get in and out of the table , to the drinks machine and bar and half the area totally blocked off because of them, yet this table could've been sat at the other end with plenty of space for everybody and without babies screaming down my ear. Guest comfortability isn't a thing here , they just seem to want you in and out and get the money on the tills. None of the waitresses seemed to want to be there with a slow pace and total lack of enthusiasm. Doesn't seem like a fun place to work... Staff should take a lesson of customer service skills from Katrina !

We went there and set our reservation for 3 and the worker Tia said you can leave and come back in 30 minutes. We came back after 25 minutes and the other lady said our name had been called off and said we don’t tell you you can leave then called over Tia who said she called our name 30 minutes ago which would’ve be impossible which we said and the manager with ginger hair didn’t care or help whatsoever and just said your at the bottom of the list.

On entry the customer service was spot on, once sat down the cutlery bought to the table was filthy. As someone that works in the hospitality sector too, to see the levels of standard is so poor! The till staff are poorly trained, the time management of the whole establishment was a disgrace. Being a well known franchise and not being able to keep up with the flow of customer service is not acceptable. Either train your staff amicably or get new staff. This is atrocious!!!! Been queuing for 40mins to get served.

It Really was busy when we arrived so we had to wait for a little time for a table to become available. The chap on the door I thought was fantastic. He Was really friendly and trying his best to please everyone whilst serving them quickly and efficiently. Never lost his positive attitude despite a few grumpy people disrespecting him because they had to wait at a peak time. Food arrived quickly and was pleasant. Reasonably priced so all in all what you'd expect from nandos and chicken and chips. Special shout out to the chap on the door.

A friend and I wanted to grab lunch at Nandos Merry Hill a couple weeks ago. We were told by a member of staff that she doesnt have enough staff right now and to come back in 45 minutes. So we did, we waited for over 45 minutes and came back. There was a very small queue of people and once it was our turn a different member of staff told us that she cant let us into the restaurant since we had not given our names/were not on her list. What kind of exclusive club does Nandos think it is!? Its a bloody fast food restaurant last time I checked! We told her how her colleague had told us to come back in 45 minutes and had not mentioned anything to us about leaving our names or details. She was not interested, didnt want to make an exception for us even though we told her how we had been made to wait for over 45 minutes and promised a table by her colleague after the wait. She was RUDE! And I was tempted to complain about both of them to their manager, like they would have given a rats. We will not be back! Which is sad as my friend and I used to go here quite regularly before lock down. But I refuse to spend my money in a place that simply doesnt care about its customers.

Well, Let's start with earlier this day I had been on a long road trip to the Forest of Dean after I was very hungry. Decided that we'd go for an Indian as we do. Got to the Indian at around 5.12pm we walked and were greeted with a smile which was nice as I was a bit hesitant about coming to a new Indian. We then sat down at our table and started munching on our poppadoms. Poppadoms were odd but alright 👍. We then get asked what we want so as I love butter chicken 🐔 I went for a butter chicken. 8 mins later our chips and stuff come out. Chips were defo frozen and naan bread was very doughy. 2 mind later our food comes and mine has nice garnish on top making it look all nice 😋 disclaimer it wasn't. I the put my very hard rice on the plate and begin eating. As I was eating the first piece of chicken I noticed a very large amount of liquid sitting in the bowl. I then look around more and noticed there is no curry it's just pure liquid. This "curry" is a sloppy cinnamon sugary soup. NEVER EVER GET THIS!! .Sugar Sloppy Soup. Once I've taken a few bites I felt a sudden pain in my stomach it wasn't good. I then tell my dad I'm not feeling to good so we decide let's go as this is a horrible experience. We get to the front counter and the man is just blanking us on the phone not taking any notice that we want to go. He then notices us and let's us pay then he tries to make me feel better with some posh minty chocolate just no. Anyway we come home and my dad is sick all around our house. Later that evening I vomit and continously vomit through the night and so does my dad! If u want a sugary sloppy cinnamon messy soup order this " Special butter Chicken". Thanks bye 👋

Went in to celebrate a family birthday and the service was utterly appalling. Waitstaff were young, seriously untrained, and more concerned with their social lives than the actual serving of tables. We had to chase them to take a drinks order, never bothered to come back and ask if we wanted any more drinks, they forgot one of the starters, and never bothered to bring our coffees. We had to ask for extra cutlery as there was insufficient on the table, had to chase them to clear the plates away, and when we went to cut the cake we were advised that "they couldn't give us small plates as they didn't have enough available" so dumped us with a pile of napkins off of which to eat cake. We then had to go up to the bar to physically ask for the bill and the girl's answer was "oh, you want to pay?" Seriously? The food was good, but your waitresses are letting you down MASSIVELY.
