Nando's, located on London Road, in the Stockton Heath suburb of Warrington, the building is fairly…read moreunique from the outside, the building reminds me a lot of an old home, or a traditional old English pub, while inside you have the typical Nando's art and decor, after going up the steps.
The staff seem friendly (especially the manager who served me), and the service is relatively quick, you can still order at the counter (this is the only option if you have an allergy), but they are pushing the QR code system, using the Nando's app which is pretty straightforward.
There is a Sainsbury's store across the way if you're looking for mayonnaise, one thing I hate most about Nando's, in general, is how, despite being a meat restaurant they no longer offer mayonnaise, and instead have a vegan alternative, which makes little sense, this meant I had to run across the way to get some real Hellman's while waiting for my food.
For my food, I ordered a Medium Chicken Butterfly with Peri Chips and a Medium Corn-on-the-cob, the thinner parts of the chicken tasted very good, but the thicker parts had become dry and stringy. I did have to ask for peri-salt for my chips, as they forgot it after bringing my food out. The corn was very good though, especially after being grilled with the medium sauce.
A little pricey, while no more expensive than any other Nando's location, I do find them to be slightly expensive for a fast-casual environment, especially as you have to get your own knives, forks, drinks and sauces, my food came to £13.75 for one course, without a drink.
I did notice the water machine was producing rather unattractive and cloudy water, but after bringing this to the attention of a staff member, I was offered a bottle of water, for no additional charge, which I appreciated.
Overall, the food quality is OK but could be better, especially to warrant the price, but the overall cosy and unique feel of the place compared to other Nando's stores, and service are positives. 3*
