Nando's

[Mook]

They've got a new sauce, an African one called Vusa, fucking hell, it's hot.

Where did you get it from

 

Is it in thr supermarkets

[Tony Moanero]

Nando's is grossly overpriced, given that they don't even use free range chicken.

In Nando's funnily enough.

 

I've not seen this one in the supermarket yet, I don't think you can get the black bottle one in the supermarket either (could be wrong) though so I don't hold out much hope for this one unless there's a big demand for it.

[Sputnik1]

Have to agree that Nando's is grossly overpriced, I can get 40% off and it's still overpriced. I've been three times, not keen. 

[Paulie Dangerously]

Saw the Hairy Bikers do a piripiri chicken recipe on one of their more recent light hearted banter shows which looked great and nothing like Nandos

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

I love the sauce, but yea it's a bit overpriced for the small portions of chips and rice to go with it.

 

Plus i'm more a fan of the chicken, so it's much better for me to just cook a whole chicken at home and but a bottle of the sauce. i don't like eating out unless it's much better than something I can do at home easily.

[Total Longo]

Still haven't been and i'm unlikely to. There's plenty of other places that do chicken and chips.

[Tony Moanero]

"Why dont Nando's use free range chicken?

Nando's prides itself in offering great tasting food at great value. Chicken welfare is of upmost most importance however we also need to consider the price our customers are willing to pay. We continue to engage with our suppliers in search for practical welfare improvements."

 

What a load of rubbish.

I hadn't been for about ten years, went last summer and wished I'd gone elsewhere.

It just seems like an overpriced pointless exercise. My brother was raving about that five guys burger joint yesterday, however he paid £28 for a couple of burgers, chips and a drink each, which is nuts.

For the price I would expect it to be freerange to be honest.  

 

 

I buy free range chickens, not due to some moralistic choice, but because they taste better.  They're usually only a quid more expensive than the battery ones and you can see less water and gloop and shit come out of them when they're roasted. 

[Mook]

One of the good things about Nando's is they don't have people outside forcing you to go in & eat at gunpoint.

 

Regarding the place itself, it usually costs the wife & me between £20 & £25 for enough food to fill us up & unlimited juice, I don't see many places you can sit in, eat & drink for under a tenner a person so it's not all that unreasonable in this day & age.

 

If you don't like the food or think it's a rip off, don't go. I like the food, it's pretty quick, you can take the kids in & it costs about £12 each, it's not exactly a fine dining experience but it does for when you're in town & fancy some spicy chicken.

[lifetime fan]

Went for the first time ever a couple of weeks ago.

 

It was ok, nothing that special but then to be honest I didn't really expect anything else from a fast food chicken chain.

[Ezekiel 25:17]

I think people sometimes forget that they're sitting in a restaurant, if you consider it expensive that can only be compared to kfc or another takeaway, as Mook said 25 quid for two meals served to you and drinks is not expensive.

That's probably because you have to queue up to order like McDonalds. And get your own drinks. And cutlery. And sauces. The only real "service" of bringing the food to the table is to stop the kitchen being swarmed with customers, but if they could get away with it, they would.

 

As I said, I like it, but think it's a bit much for what it is. Tiny portions of not-very-nice chips and/or rice, with decent chicken. It's not comparable to 'normal' restaurants, for me. It's hardly extortionate, but I never fell fully satiated or that I had a particularly good meal. It's somewhere in limbo between fast food and traditional restaurant.

 

There is a copy-cat version called "piri piri chicken" or something, not so far from me. Similar food, but with a more McDonalds decor and vibe, and cheaper. If i'm eating 'fast-food', I couldn't care less about the decor, personally. Some would and that's fair enough.

Nandos is lovely.

[Scott_M]

I like Nando's, it's good for a quick and cheap meal out with the wife.

 

Also, our daughter has numerous food allergies, which they cater really well for so she can have a meal as well.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

I buy their peri-peri salt and put it on everything, to be fair. Only when its on offer in (The) Asda.

I used to live across the road from a shopping precinct (Gunwharf in Southsea) and they had one. If hungover id ring up and order a carry out. Pretty hairy experience walking past people with a bag full of nandos on you I tell you.

Sounds like Piment d'Espelette salt my ma in law brings me when she visits

[Strontium]

They have three different types of veggie burger, which I have to respect.

 

However the long queues outside the Liverpool One Nando's make me think the UN should strip us of World Heritage Site status. Embarrassing.

[Mook]

The new Fino Pitta is the fucking bollocks.

 

They have done away with the Superbock lager though, which is not so good.

[Bjornebye]

The thighs are unreal in nandos.

I'm a breast man myself.
