This Nando's is in the Castle Quay shopping centre in Banbury. It has a nice Waterside dining area and is a nice place to stop in especially if having a walk along the canal.

There is a Light cinema within Castle Quay. Parking at Castle Quay is free between 6pm and 7am, but outside of these hours it is priced at up to 1hr/£1.30, 1-2hrs/£2.10, 2-3hrs/£2.70, 3-4hrs/£3.40, 4-5hrs/£4.70, 5+hrs/£7.20, Sun/BHs (All Day)/£1.30. Banbury train station is less than half a mile walk away.

Arrived here about 8pm and it was still fairly mild so sat outside but there was also up to a 10 minute wait to be sat inside. It did mean I wasn't checked on once eating until right at the end of the meal. It was very busy and the food came in just under 20 minutes and it really wasn't worth the wait sadly. I went for the churrasco burger, chips and rice. The chips and rice were fine but the chicken was burnt to a crisp - really blackened. It also made it very dry, unsurprisingly.

It's a nice bright Nando's inside, with lots of the large Chinese-style lanterns for lightshades and lots of artwork on the walls.
