Croydon - High Street

My mother and I had a wonderful end of the week dinner at Nando’s in Croydon the experience was so joyful & lovely & delicious!!!! Daria, Jordan, Bema & Carlos were extremely welcoming to my mother & I this made out experience 10 times better and because of them I will continue to go back to this Nando’s they deserve as much recognition as possible! Thank you so much to you four you guys are stars and angels!!

After driving to the Leisure Park Nando's and finding out the grills were broken, we headed back to the town centre for this Nando's. It was about as busy as expected, and we had to wait around 30 minutes for a table!

Food came reasonably quickly considering just how busy the restaurant was, and it wasn't bad at all.

The Nando's itself was nothing special, and could do with some investment.

The Croydon outlet is fairly good, and one that is easy to reach but also provides an excellent service.

We waited around 10 minutes for a table, in what appeared to be the most disorganised queueing system ever. However, that aside, we were shown to our table and then placed the order. This was quick and efficient, much what I like to see!

After Arsenal beat Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, I embarked on a Nandventure which involved a pleasant 2-mile walk into the heart ot Croydon for a new Nando's. This is the older of the 2 Croydon Nando's although it did have a refurb around 3 years ago.

So within 3 minutes of leaving the car park, I had a man start urinating at me in the street - another ask me for my ****ing money (he didn't get it) and also got to see a fight breakout on another street corner... ahhhh, we must be in Croydon proper. On this occasion I was glad I was in a Q-Park (Surrey Street) and was surprised it was reasoanably priced (£1.50/hr up to 6 hours).

Newly refurbished Croydon-high street nandos

I have currently once been twice since the new refurb, how ever this is my closest and most visited nandos I must have been there over 100+ times by now.

Busyness?
Generally it's a 10 minute wait for a table, I usually do go at peak times in the evenings around 7pm so I find it a reasonable wait no different than any other restaurant.
The new refurb means there is more space and you don't feel cramped

After a over night coach trip and a morning bumming round London I was in need of Nandos and Marc had suggested a visit to Croydon, not being from London I had no idea how far out Croydon is till I started to head there. An hour later after a long tube ride and a tram ride I arrived in the suburb of Croydon with my mate. The Nandos is on the main stretch under a cinema and as seem to be the trend at the moment had a queue heading to the door.
