This Nandos could definitely do with a refurb - it is in the old style, and still has the classic sticky wooden tables which have gone from most of the London branches nowadays!

The 97th Nando’s to open in the UK lead me to Bath, a city I had never before visited, but had always been curious about. On a sunny Saturday morning, nine of us in total travelled to Bath from different locations, myself by car from Wales. Bath now have two Nando’s restaurants, this first one being in the town centre, about a 5 to 10 minute walk from the station on James Street (the newer Nando’s is pretty much in the station itself).

This is a great place to go to before an evening out in town or a movie at the cinema. It's easy to access via bus or you can park in the nearby Sainsbury's car park. The restaurant is fairly large and rarely too busy so it's always easy to get a seat without a wait. The time it takes for food to come out is a little longer than expected given how quiet it normally is, however the food always tastes great - 5 chicken wings and spicy rice!

James Street Nando's is in the heart of Bath in the same building as an Odeon cinema (£9 normal adult ticket), some other eateries and a pub. As you go in, you can see a Nando's menu on the ground floor which tempts you to make your way up to the top floor where Nando's is located. I arrived with SVC after the drive over from London and we embarked on our mission to conquer Bath Nando's over 3 days.

I really enjoyed my visit to James Street Nando's. Parking was easy, it was easy to purchase a copy of OK magazine nearby and by the time I returned from the shop, my food was already on the table. The staff were very polite and pleased to see my dining partner. The restaurant itself is very nice with a large, glass window, cool art and nice music played. I liked it!

There is probably Parking much closer But I parked up where the sat nav took me which was not where the nandos was. This gave me free parking after six pm and a walk in the rain.

This Nando's is located above a Wetherspoon pub and housed within the same complex as an Odeon cinema - and, judging from this Tuesday evening, is certainly the place of choice for all cinema-goers.

It's in the City Centre, so follow the signs to this and Southgate parking an you'll be fine. If you arrive after 6pm, as I did, you'll pay £1.50 up to 8pm, when the parking is then free right up to 8am - so very reasonable. Southgate is a five minute walk away.
