Believe it or not, dear Yelpers, I don't give fast food chains that much custom (these days at least). Of all the big high street names though, Nando's has to be my 'most-liked' as the food just tastes that bit more wholesome than the burgers and fried chicken you can get elsewhere.
So I shared my workmates' pleasant surprise when we heard that they were opening a new restaurant near the Lowry Outlet, and waited for its opening.
A birthday lunch of a colleague brought a group of us in here and we were glad we booked in advance as the place was really packed. Had we known we could have pre-ordered our meals before arrival we would have done, as we were told there would be a 25 minute wait for food and they weren't wrong.
A couple of trips to the soft drink vending machine later and the food started arriving, along with a sincere apology from the manager. They were newly opened, very busy and had two large groups who arrived very late, so we totally sympathised. The food we ordered was all very good, everyone had empty plates.
The interior is full of reclaimed wood, from the walls to the massive lamp shades. There seems to be a trend to use this in places these days which is great. Being brand new, the whole place was obviously shiny and clean.
Welcome to the neighbourhood, we've been chicken-deprived for too long. read more
