Nando's

[srb]

Not been either, although for some it is akin to a house of worship given how much they bang on about it. Would give it a go but not exactly on my bucket list

I rather like Nandos. It's not claiming to be Michelin food, just chicken cooked reasonably well with some chilli sauce. I like chicken, I like chilli sauce, so I like Nando's. I can't recall ever having thought it was amazing, but it is pretty tasty.

I suppose it depends what you're comparing it to. If you compare it to a proper restaurant (or about half of the food at Glasto) then it's rather lacklustre, but compared Frankie+Benny's or virtually any other large chain 'restaurant', it's bloody delicious.

EDIT: To clarify, I've never met anyone that bangs on about it, but I do go quite often. To put it in televisual terms, it's more like late Star Trek than (New) Battlestar Galactica, something that I watch a lot, but would never think of trying to convert anyone to.

EDIT EDIT: I like chips too.

Nando's is one of those black and white things that is either cool to love or cool to hate, much like Starbucks and Pret A Manger. I don't really understand the hate. It's not the best, but it will do when you're in a rush because you pay up front and you don't have to wait around, especially if you want a takeaway at lunch. But there are much better Piri Piri joints out there, like The Chicken Shop:

Plus one here. If da kids are gonna spend all their pocket money on eating out, it’s probably better them eating this than your KFC/Maccys/BK fare.

Nal needs to give his head a shake with his ‘The Wire is overrated post’ as well.

I can't understand any hatred or love for the place. I've been a few times and it was probably the most ok food place I've been. Nothing amazing granted but it's chicken chips and rice, who doesn't like that.

[Harry3]

Incredibly overpriced, tiny portions of very average chicken

I've never paid for a Nando's, but I did get a free £25 to spend there. All I'd say is that it's enjoyable, but as far as chicken, chips and rice goes, fairly average.

[Waapster]

No. Go to Reading.

[carlosj]

I now want to go to Maureen's in Leeds. Jerk chicken, curried goat, beats a salad sandwich for lunch.

[Spindles]

Wrigley, if your partying is anything like your trolling, you'll be in bed by 6pm every night.

Bring back Tommmy. Even Roses4Baggy had better trolling game than this sucker.

This.

Tommmy was at least funny and had a hint of originality about him. This is just dull. Youth of today, innit?

[The Nal]

Trolling on Glastonbury forums isn't as good as it used to be.

[bennyboi]

Nandos is way over rated and I'm a chicken fanatic.

Is there any major chains that sell at glasto?

[willutalk]

Fuck off to commercialism like Nando's. Reading can turn its self into a shopping centre with 'crap bands playing their crap songs' if it wants to do so, but Glastonbury will thankfully/hopefully not do the same! Couldn't bear the though of it.

Glasto promotes proper food stands with entrepreneurialism. It allows quality small food traders to get out onto the market. Not for worldwide established brands like Nando's to rip off the festival punter whilst unfortunately suffocate the trader to low profits. Infact if Nando's did come to Glastonbury I hope that the people would actually have sence to avoid it. I think the people at Reading would be gullible teenagers attracted to the hellish magnet.

Just not for me at all.

The most overrated food joint on earth. Next to Pret a mange or whatever it's called. Nandos is just chicken. With a simple sauce marinating it. And average chips.
