Colchester - Ryan Review

Additional comments: The Nando's in Colchester is located just off the High Street - a minute walk from the Odeon cinema and is also close to the heart of the town centre shopping, so anytime of the day you can expect it to be busy. It's also not very big inside at all so expect to wait for a table. I was in a group of four and had a 20 minute wait to be seated - which was fine for me! It was about 7pm, so more than expected really.

We parked on the edge of the town centre and walked in - maybe a 10-15 minute walk from the car park, but it was a much more reasonable price than parking anywhere within the town centre.

Walking around the town centre, you get a feel for just how long some of the buildings have been around. Not quite from Boadicea's time - but certainly a while. As a result, there isn't much room for to expand shop fronts and all of the first/second floors above shop fronts cannot be altered - meaning blink... and you'll miss your lovely Nando's! Inside was up to the usual standard though. Nothing spectacular (as there isn't a massive amount of wall space) but the usual hung paintings.

Once we were seated, there was about a 5 minute queue to order followed by a 10 minute wait for the food - so no problems there. The food was as you'd expect - enough marinade to give a peri-peri fix, but as for the table sauce... no Extra Extra Hot in sight!
