First off, for the location its not the biggest, so you can be sure to have to wait a little during peak times. Luckily, we decided to drop by after 1pm to beat the afternoon rush. As per usual, with Nando's you don't receive full table service from the staff. You are seated by an employee but from there you have to take your orders up to cashier and pay for the entire meal prior to receiving your food. Quick tip: Use notepad or similar on your phone to take your whole groups orders to make sure no one gets missed. After you've gone through the trouble of lightening up your wallet, you'll need to fill up your drinks at the self serve station and grab all the necessary cutlery, napkins and additional sauces to enjoy your meal. I'm happy to say you're not doing everything entirely by yourself, they do bring the food to your table. This visit I ordered the butterfly chicken breast which comes with two sides. You MUST get the peri chips as its pretty much the main reason I come to Nando's but opting for corn on the cob or coleslaw is equally as good. I found that the staff here were extremely friendly and helpful upon my visit and the food came out fairly quick considering it was still lunch service. Quality of food is always fresh and tasty, one of the best places to go.

If you've attended the University of Birmingham, then there's a good chance you know all about it already: Staples such as the 'number five' and similarly popular set meals (which are damn good value for money, might I add) are common amongst the student lexicon and are placed at the lofty status of "legendary". Much of this high opinion of the House comes from those staggering home from Fab - the guild's weekly clubnight which goes down every Saturday night. Therefore, if there's not much on your telly and you're in need of a laugh, your best bet would be to sit outside Rooster House from around midnight on a Sunday morning and watch the train wrecks come and go. I imagine that Rooster House does the majority of its business during these fraught and hilarious hours of the night and it's almost impossible to not get sucked in. I find the chips to be pretty good, but the hot wings are the real winner here. You could always get a pizza, but if you do then you're completely missing the point. The hint as to what Rooster House nails is in the name, dummy!

Providing cheap, late-night fast food for students around the Selly Oak area, expect to find hoards of partygoers (always in costume, for some reason...) stopping by for some much needed midnight munchies to soak up their drunkenness. This place really pulls together the campus community and gave me plenty of opportunity to engage in interesting conversations with friends old and new. Never a dull moment here. Anything you order will definitely fill you up, usually with leftovers in the morning as a reminder of your bad life choices. Obviously, the chicken is a customer favorite, but my American appetite craves for kebabs whenever the chance arises. Service is as friendly as you'd expect at 1AM on weekends (I'm certainly surprised with how well they deal with rowdy 18yr-olds). I've actually had their food at a reasonable hour and can confirm that it's still as fried, coma-inducing, and averagely delicious as you remember. Thanks for the good times, Rooster House, those yellow styrofoam boxes will sure be missed.

So decided to drive into Coventry City as that's where the closest Nando's was to be found and luckily got a table right before the dinner rush started. My brother & I decided to split the "Full platter" which consisted of a whole chicken & 4 regular sides for £20.95 (there was actually a choice - you could get 4 regular sides or 2 super size sides). The regular size sides we got were: 1) Chips - meh, absolutely paled in comparison to the Peri-peri chips 2) Peri-peri chips - I had forgotten how delicious this seasoning was. Really perked up the taste of the fries 3) Spicy rice - excellent taste and actually wasn't that spicy, so glad about that 4) Supergrain - this was a salad consisting of quinoa, just lots of different kinds of beans, kale and an avocado buttermilk dressing. It overall tasted okay, but I wasn't feeling it. I think a tart dressing rather than the creamy one might add some more oomph. The chicken itself was glorious! It had that true crispy charcoal taste and was delicious. The skin was crispness personified! So food-wise its absolutely 4/5 stars. But it's 3 stars overall in the review, because of the indifferent service and dirty loo facilities. The service wasn't that great as had to ask multiple times for plates. The women's loo stalls were so tight, it verged on the uncomfortable. Plus the state of the loos itself was an absolute shambles - very dirty and with a wet floor. I'd come back here for the food, but stay away from the toilets. Yelp 150/ 2019

This pocket-sized takeaway is located opposite the back entrance to New Street Station. With meal deals covering your meat, potato and pop needs the only thing you'll require is 10 minutes to wait for your food - you'd rather have a freshly cooked burger wouldn't you? I have to admit I've only been here in a 'merry' capacity, shall we say, and I've never gone in alone. Though the guys working here are friendly enough the word grease comes to mind - and not of the burger variety. I've seen the flirting and ogling of girls get a bit too sleazy at times. This aside, the food is tasty and well-cooked. The mix and match menu has everything fast foody you can think of on offer, plus more! On Fridays and Saturdays they are open until 4am so if you do miss the last train and end up having a few more pints bear this place in mind. Anything with chips to end your night can't be bad.

It normally comes full of salad with the chicken being freshly carved in front of you. However, I was really disappointed by this one as the chicken was taken out of a pot which was stored in the front heater (where they keep the battered sausages). The chicken didn't taste fresh nor was there much of it. I think it's safe to say that the chips had sat there for a long time too as they tasted soggy and pretty rank. Surprisingly, I didn't finish my food and ended up chucking it in a bin on the way home. Not impressed

If you want something a bit more substantial then, yes, the menu gives you everything you want in a local chippy.

But if you're like me, always feeling naughty, then combine your chippy fix with a quick pint at the local pub a few doors down.

This was not stated in any policy on the website or app. When I explained my situation, the driver hung up on me. I sent a text requesting a refund but received no response. When I contacted customer service, I spoke with Ashe, who informed me that Big John has a verbal policy in place that drivers cannot go upstairs or enter the building. However, this policy was not stated on the website or app. After placing another order for cash delivery, I was informed by Ashe that the driver would not come upstairs. Despite explaining that I have a disability that makes it difficult for me to go downstairs, Ashe gave me a five-minute ultimatum and threatened to blacklist me. This behaviour constitutes a breach of the 2010 Act on Harassment/victimization. As a customer with a disability, I feel that I was not treated with the same consideration as able-bodied customers. Ash was very clear that failure to come downstairs would result in being blacklisted. This made me feel victimized and pressured, especially as the driver only gave me two minutes to get downstairs, which was virtually impossible due to my disability. Despite explaining my situation, the driver continued to call me multiple times, putting a lot of pressure on me. This mistreatment has led me to seek legal advice. Unfortunately, I was unable to make it downstairs in the given time frame, as I was struggling with the stairs. I regret to inform you that the food I received was lukewarm and not hot, which made it almost cold. I was disappointed with the experience and felt mistreated.
