Nando's - Colchester Description
With quality food, friendly staff, quick service and excellent value for money, Nando's is a great place to eat. Don't expect identikit, pre-fab restaurant interiors which are usually a staple of the larger chains; each restaurant is tailored to its local surroundings and customers, offering up a unique restaurant experience to go with the equally unique taste of legendary, Portuguese, Peri-Peri chicken.
Your peri-peri chicken, when the chips are down so to speak, is a fresh A grade chicken that has never seen the inside of a freezer, but having made the supreme sacrifice is butterfly-cut, marinated for 24 hours in a secret brew called - you've guessed - peri-peri, and is then cooked to your choice over an open flame.
There are, of course, many variations on this broad theme, numerous plays on words such as Nando's experi-perience, peri-peri good reasons why you should eat at a Nando's, and all one hopes is that for their sake chicken never goes out of fashion. New Nando's are opening all the time, peri-peri quickly in fact, the spicy dips become hotter and more daring, and the full platter offers a whole chicken, large chips or spicy rice and Nando's salad or coleslaw.
Since chickens are vegetarian it seems logical you can order veggie or bean burgers and patties, and still feel the heat from the peppers. All in all I would hotly recommend Nando's for those occasions when you have a large following of permanently hungry children, or adults even, to keep happy - the only thing taken really seriously is the quality of those peri-peri good chickens.
Nando's is a place for bright people who love to laugh and love to eat, and is guaranteed to spice up your taste buds. Their fun approach to life means that when you visit Nando's you can fully relax without the airs and graces associated with more starchy dining out.

Angelica (5 June 2008)
We visited Nando’s last Sunday and my partner ordered our meal, including a children’s veggie burger at £3.99. The waiter, who apparently seemed confused and vague, made the mistake of putting it through as an adult meal and asking my partner what salad he wanted on the side. Prompted by the waiter, my partner assumed that you get a salad with the child's meal and requested the Caesar salad as indicated by the waiter. He paid the waiter and brought the receipt back to me. I noticed the mistake in good time before our meal arrived and straightaway alerted the staff, who brought the manager to the front desk. I said I would like the order changed and the Caesar salad removed. I politely said I wanted to pay £3.99 for my child's meal, not £9.10. In normal circumstances, the staff should simply apologise, change the meal and refund the difference. However, the manager insisted rudely that this would not be possible and my money would not be refunded as the salad had already been made. Bear in mind that all this took place well before the meals were bought to us. It was a horrible and uncomfortable experience and I did not want to cause a scene in the front of the restaurant as it was my partner’s birthday and our young daughter was hungry.
During the meal, which was not great, we were asked by three separate waiters if everything was okay and on all three occasions I said I was unhappy with having to pay for the staff's mistake and nothing was done about it. Strangely, we were also asked by the waiter who had served my partner and made the offending mistake in the first place. In my experience of both eating out and of working in customer services and restaurants, this falls considerably way below reasonable customer expectations. To be ripped off and treated with such rudeness is unacceptable. It ruined the last night of our visit to Colchester. The meal came to £32.35, which I think was a total waste of money as we had a horrible time due to the staff.
