Nando's in Hove

[Zukey Seagull]

Horrible or average? Make your mind up

Well it is horrible

Is there a 'Las Iguanas' (Mexican) in the Brighton area? The one in MK does half price cocktails from 4-7 every day! Always a clever first point of call b4 a night out, as the bar bit is separate..

Las Iguanas, now if ever there was a bang average restaurant award this would be reigning champion. Always end up there for family functions and parties etc, shockingly average food for the price and rather tight portions.

I'd love to boycott all the stores at the Goldstone but there's nothing there I would go to anyway. Now if a Wetherspoons were to open then all boycotts would be out the window. Meanwhile, on principle, never have and never will step foot on the Goldstone.

This. I really like it, and whenever I've been (quite a lot) I've had a really good meal. Cheap as it's always under a tenner, and does the job. Maybe it's because I really like chicken?

:thumbup:

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

not a place you sit to think "yeah, i'm a high flyer".

?? Do you do this often?

It's not triple the price of KFC though. KFC costs about £5-£6 per person, whereas Nando's is £9-£11. For that, you get to sit down in respectable surroundings, eat from a plate rather than a bucket and enjoy chicken that is at least half-respectable.

I'm not a massive fan of Nando's or a regular customer, but people who compare it to KFC are missing the point. I think most of the reason for its success is that it sits between KFC and a proper restaurant, allowing people without too much cash to have a restaurant experience and reasonable food while spending only £20ish for two people rather than £30-£35 at a generic chain restaurant.

Spot on.

Agree with you on that one! The service is shite too (though possibly just the Brighton one?).

Don't see why people have a problem with Nando's. It's freshly cooked food, not fried, relatively healthy, etc. and I'm always absolutely stuffed upon leaving (small portions my arse).

It's also NOTHING LIKE KFC. I really don't see the comparison.

It's being built next to Burger King - see the link below for what it's meant to look like

I don't enjoy a meal out unless i'm having some sort of existential epiphany or crisis.

They make it look almost pleasant. You can sit outside and stare at rows and rows of cars.

To be fair I've only ever been to the Brighton restaurant so it might not be as poor at others. Probably wouldn't chance it though

 

[Grassman]

If you like small portions of very overpriced junk food and non existent table service it's the place for you.

Brilliant. Not just me who thinks that, then.

 

[pishhead]

As I said brilliant pr people in charge. It's a fast food restaurant in everything but name. You order at the counter get your own drinks (if you're having sift drinks) granted the food is brought to you but apart from that it is a self service restaurant. I doth my cap to them.

 

[GoingUp]

I dont get it

 

[Philzo-93]

My uni have their own version of Nandos called Frango's very nice and half the price of the one in Colchester!

'Puss' is another name for a cat I believe. Flying puss?

someone said it was junk food, i wonder if they've actuall been. though the service is neligable, they bring out your food at thats it. i like Nando's except one major point, its not good value, far too easy to spend over £10. can go to thai, chinese pubs and get more for less.

Oh, I thought you where calling me a super pussy or something

Alas wasn't my comment initially, just thought it quite amusing when I saw it before so I remembered what the idea was.

We had the Stephen Biko Burger Bar.
