Nando's on Blackpool Road in Preston is located as part of the Deepdale Shopping Park, a short distance away from the city centre, right by the football stadium that Preston North Ends calls home. It's pretty much your typical Nando's, with this location serving halal chicken. As with any Nando's in general, you can order via the Nando's app / QR code at your table, or if you prefer the personal touch there is always the option of ordering at the counter. If like me, you have an allergy, you will need to order at the counter with a manager to ensure the request is sanctioned correctly. I did find the food expensive for what it is, as of March 2024, my meal came to £15, which I find to be a little expensive for fast casual, and that doesn't include extras such as drinks and Perinaise. The prices also seem to be rising out of control too, even in the current climate they seem to be putting their prices up every couple of months, much more frequently than rivals. They also don't offer regular mayonnaise despite being a chicken restaurant, so you'll have to choose between their vegan alternative or pay extra for their Peri-naise (mayonnaise mixed with peri-peri sauce). My meal as a whole came to £16 with tap water, they would only allow me to have a small glass of the water too, so I annoyingly had to keep going back to the water fountain for more during my meal. This particular location is reasonably good, I was able to get a table and was served quite quickly despite visiting on a busy Saturday. The staff seemed friendly enough although service seemed more fast-paced as they had to deal with the crowds. There were a lot of tables in the restaurant, some seemed a little close together and difficult to pass through, but they did a good job getting food out considering this. My food was OK, although I've certainly had better at other Nando's locations. The chips were piping hot, but the rest of my meal was warm. The portion size of the chicken and the fries was good, although they seemed to be ungenerous with the peri-salt on the chips, and I had to request extra. I also noticed the portion of spicy rice was less than normal, and felt flattened down to look like there was more than there was. 3* - Many positives for sure, but also many areas for improvement. read more
