The food was amazing and overall ana amazing experience. The restaurant was nice and modern and it was very smart. Although my only complaint is that it is quite small so many people can't get tables.

Been to nandos many times but today was exceptional. Kind, courteous staff were willing to help change an order after it had been put through. They checked in with us with a smile on their faces and it felt as though they genuinely cared about giving us a great experience. The food came extremely quickly (possibly 3-4 minutes?) and was the typical good quality you should expect from nandos. Only issue was that the app didn't work on two different phones so we had to order at the bar.

Avoid this place. Food disappointing. Some overcooked, some undercooked which indicated a poor standard of cooking and care. Food just slapped on the plates with little care or attention to presentation. No cutlery with the meals. Numerous staff seemed to lack any training on customer service. Warm glasses provided for water. Greasy sauce bottles. Bar top very greasy (this was pointed out to staff who promised to clean, but it remained unclean). Must have been wiped with dirty greasy cloths. Floor dirty. Made me seriously question the hygiene standards and cross contamination possibilities. Toilets cordoned off before closing for cleaning and couldn’t be used. Poor standard of food, cleanliness and service. The manager needs training to improve cleanliness, food quality and service. Would never go back.

Have been here before (the pandemic) and always loved the service but this time although we were shown to a table and given menus that was it, normally once you're sitted someone comes and ask if you'd like a drink while you're looking at the menu but not this time, we were blatantly ignored so we left........very disappointed.......the young girls who were l guess suppose to be working seem very disinterested and bored.....

Really disappointed- chicken was physically cold to touch. Returned food for a fresh meal when the manager tonight 30.08.24 came out with an attitude about the food being returned. No refund was provided. Terrible service towards a 9 month pregnant lady just making sure her dinner was adequately cooked through.

Food was decent but on the small side- maybe this is just Nandos though. Greeter was nice however no attentiveness from staff who just mostly stood around- had to find the drinks machine and cutlery myself. Could do with "refills over there etc" Clean throughout.

Ordered a take out in time for the Boks vs Wales game. Having eaten Nando’s whilst living in South Africa (where it originates from) the food was of very poor quality. The chicken livers were chopped up with no sauce at all, the accompanying Portuguese roll which you’re supposed to use to soak up said non existing sauce didn’t arrive. The fives sticks of halloumi arrived as two skinny slices laid at the bottom of a large box of air. The grilled miele was only grilled in one stripe not all over and was over cooked and dry. The coleslaw wasn’t too bad. The boneless thighs were surprisingly dry and lack lustre. Over all the meal was very disappointing and a very pale comparison to the authentic Nando’s. Thank goodness the game didn’t disappoint!🇿🇦

Last few times they've got my order massively wrong? First time they forgot the extra things I ordered with my wrap (halloumi and sauces) Next time the wrap was extremely underfilled (it was 90% lettuce, 9% sauce and about 1% meat) This time I ordered a wrap with the BBQ sauce and they put the hottest sauce I've ever had on. I'm not afraid of spice by any means but my mouth is currently on fire and my eyes are watering! They also put the peri stuff on my plain chips which is annoying because I didn't have any part of my order that was just how I like it.. and it was through deliveroo, so I can't exactly ask for help.

At this nandos, the staff were extra attentive and made an effort to treat you well. I've never had drinks filled and bought to me in a nandos, but this was the first time that had happened. They also bought us cutlery, serviettes and sauces without us having to get up and get them. The atmosphere was the same as a normal nandos and the food again was the same but otherwise the service was great! I would just note that there did seem to be a long queue at the till to order food (but this isn't a them issue as they have QR codes on the table for this exact reason). Considering this was our stop from a long trip I can say overall this was a good munch ;)

Always great food and speedy service from lovely and friendly staff. Food portions have decreased and prices have gone up but that is no different from anywhere else these days so cannot be helped. I have found that the Cheltenham branch’s food always tastes miles above any others I have visited so big thumbs up for that! Facilities are always spotless and tables, cutlery etc. are very well cleaned.All in all highly recommended for a friendly and relaxed place to eat with plenty of good food and people.

After my second visit to Nando's I was convinced of my previous suspicions. The chicken (ordered burgers and wraps) are not being flame grilled and marinaded properly!! You can replicate the same chicken using their sauces!!! Having lived in South Africa where Nando's originated I can tell you the breasts are chargrilled in appearance and taste!

A group of six of us popped in before heading for the cinema, I wish we hadn't! The staff we unhelpful, the ordering of the food is ludicrous especially for families. The food when It arrived was tasteless and over cooked. The kitchen was also poorly maintained in the various stations - there are far better places to eat in the brewery so recommend eating else where!

We were sat down promptly and welcomed by the waitress. She knew we were going to a film right after the meal and took our order immediately.We then waited and waited and waited as all those who had ordered after us got served. We saw parts of what turned out to be our meal hanging around for over 20 minutes. It seems that belatedly they had remembered to cook my burger. The meal arrived well over thirty minutes later (and they had suggested that 5-10 minutes would be about the time needed)These things happen! However, the young and very ineffective manager who was called by the waiter to deal with this very long wait could have done better than saying sorry over and over again. An offer of a complementary drink, a voucher or a small discount would have added effect to his words.We squeaked into the cinema just before our film started and in truth the food was good and the staff very pleasant. It is a very busy, lively and young restaurant, but a fun place to go. Just hope that nothing goes wrong as they struggle to put it right.

Fui a la orden y, a continuación, llegar cubiertos me pareció que tenía que ordenar a través de conseguir cualquier otras limpias. Nuestra comida llegó, que era precioso, pero el personal era constantemente al acercarse a preguntar si la comida estaba bien (dos veces) o si necesitábamos salsas (dos veces), una vez en el principio que estaba bien, pero de nuevo cuando casi habían terminado.

Mi familia no podía creer que yo nunca había estado Nando's antes, así que mi madre me llevó allí el pasado fin de semana. Compartimos un medio pollo, y me spice ordenados mazorcas de maíz y verduras asadas como guarniciones. Mi madre pidió el arroz, guisantes y macho y me encantó. Me pareció que el maíz en la mazorca era fantástica, y pudieron hacer lácteos gratis para mí, era genial. Lo que más sorprendió fue el pollo. Era tan húmeda y suculento, no me lo podía creer. Para un restaurante de la cadena, yo realmente estaba sorprendido por la increíble calidad del pollo. Me pareció que el servicio y la relación calidad-precio era muy buena. Sin duda, aquí. También es conveniente que está justo al lado del cine. Sin embargo, lo único que no me gustó y no terminar fueron las verduras asadas. Realmente no me gustó el sabor y la textura parecía que estaba cruda.

After leaving it for far too long we returned to our favourite restaurant in the UK last week. I've written before how good it is and I'm about to do so again. Living in Birmingham we have a choice of Michelin starred restaurants on our doorstep, now sadly one one less with the closure of Purnell's, but it's a scenic round trip to a Cheltenham restaurant that tops them all. Obviously the level of cooking at these places is top notch but the overall experience of LCS is what sets it apart. There is no tasting menu but set lunch and dinner menus (two or three course) - which offer incredible value - as well as an extensive a la carte menu. The wine list is extremely well put together and has a pricing range which suits all pockets, unlike some of its contemporaries! Some reviewers bemoan the lack of music; others compare it to a library or church but not in a good way. We find it has a calm and pleasant ambience. The tables are well spaced and people are chatting and laughing quite freely - possibly helped by mobile phone use not being allowed in the dining area. We had the set lunch menu which allowed us to taste gurnard for the first time as well as an exquisitely cooked beef and ox-tongue dish which melted in the mouth. The cheese board is - as it always has been - a masterpiece, arriving in a wicker basket full of cheese for you to choose at the table; or let chef David select for you allowing for personal preferences to be included. The coffee and petits fours are a sublime way to finish your meal. The latter are particularly fine, varied and plentiful. I haven't mentioned the nibbles, amuse bouche or the breads including a signature brioche with bacon but they, and the excellent front of house service provided by Helen and her team, all combine to consistently deliver a superb dining experience. Parking is available at a nearby car park, currently £2.30 for three hours - a time span which is perfect for a leisurely lunch - only a short walk away. We won't leave it so long for our next visit!

We sat down in the corner of the pub with our drinks planning on getting food and probably staying there for a while. The table was not reserved in any way, we were sat there for over 30 minutes having a nice quiet drink until the rudest, scruffiest man with long greasy hair and moustache came over and told us to 'get up, I need the table'. Didn't even bother to explain why, or even apologise then just stood there saying 'get up'. I genuinely didn't even realise he worked there.. I thought he was some random man asking us to get up. The pub was full with no other tables available. We were clearly an easy target being one of the youngest (29 and 31). The pub was full of over 50s. Not our fault you couldn't organise enough chairs and tables for a larger group. Clearly an error on your behalf. Safe to say we will never step foot in this place again.

Daphne is always a great place to get away from the festival crowds in a pretty side street just off the Royal Well Crescent and a short walk from the vibrant Promenade. Ilhan the owner and chef is always there with a warm welcome and cooks everything fresh to order. We love the fillet steaks and last night’s were just perfect, not an ounce of fat in them and cooked medium rare just as we asked. The mixed mezze mini salad starters are really tasty too, including minty tabbouleh, fish and beetroot salads, all home made and served with baked bread. It is a family run business and so if you can book ahead that’s great to help them prepare service but they always welcome walk ins too.

Very disappointed. The place was cold so sat in our coats. I had a coffee to warm me up which cost £4.75 - ridiculous price. We had to wait an hour for our food even though it was not busy. The food was nicely cooked but very small for the price. Will not be going back in a hurry.
