Having only ever been to Nandos twice before IN MY WHOLE LIFE (can you believe it!), after my last Nandos experience I was keen to go back. My first experience was not so great but that's mostly because I now know I didn't order the best thing on the menu (for me).
Was down in jolly Kings Lynn visiting my family and we decided on a wee evening jaunt to Nandos for a number of reasons: 1) I *really* wanted to go back again after my last yummy experience, B) They're reasonably priced, and F) we needed somewhere 'baby friendly' as my niece is a mere 8 months old and could, at any given time, go 'off on one'. *gulp* So Nandos fitted the bill. Yus.
The Kings Lynn Nandos used to be a big fancy bank and instead of Weatherspoons snatching it up good ol' Nandos did. Especially considering in Kings Lynn there's already 2 W'spoons, not that I'm complaining :) Because of the vast bankiness of this Nandos it feels light and airy and spacious too. There's even a 'special' booth (besides me, ho ho!) within this Nandos that was once the bank's vault so it's all secret and cosy. I imagine that's where the Banker from Deal or No(el) Deal sits, peri-peri sauce all over his gub, corn on the cob in one hand, telephone in other. Nice.
We were greeted and seated straight away and they chose us a good table away from all the romantic, smooching couples/teenagers. They don't wanna see no crying baby! Good call Nandos people. They asked if we were familiar with the Nandos set-up and I said I was but my Mum & Sister weren't so au fait so the nice waitress explained how dat shiz works. After deciding what we all wanted myself & The Boy went up to order and pay then helped ourselves to cutlery and sauces and the like. I think I picked up about 4 different sauces, NOM!
Our drinks came speedily and not long after so did the food. We all opted for the Butterfly chicken breast with 2 sides. This is THE best. So blinkin' tasty and I'm also a huge fan of their chips and spicy rice. Yum. Everyone was very pleased with their meals and all plates were cleared. Even baby was happy :) Success!
Whenever I'm next down in Kings Lynn I will most definitely come here again. Even the guys and girls bringing our drinks/food and clearing our plates away were very friendly and even forgave me when I said something very cheesy as he was bringing our meals over; he was asking who was having all the various marinades and then said 'Who's hot?' To which I replied 'Me! I'm hot...ha ha!' whilst wiggling my eyebrows in a comedy manner to him...*cringe* Oh dear.
Now when can I go again?...
P.s. I've just noticed on their website that Nandos offer a 20% discount for anyone in the NHS, Emergency Services or Military. BONUS! read more
