Goodge Street - Marc Joss Review

The first ever Rate Your Nando's Contributor Dinner was held at this fine central London branch and it was the perfect chance to meet some fellow Nando's fans after almost 2 and a half years of Rate Your Nando's.
The last time I'd visited Goodge Street, some ugly scaffolding was almost camouflaging the branch but luckily now that has been removed and Nando's is far more visible.
Our table was ready for us and the party sat down after a quick drink across the road in a pub which shows football incidentally.
It was the first time I'd ever had 'Altogether Now'. My only issue with it was that more pitta would have been useful as both plates had excess houmous and red pepper dip leftover but no pitta! Everyone ordered their main courses after the starters and the 3 tills were used to maximum efficiency, great stuff. Food arrived swiftly for most members of the party apart from Dom's which was such a big order (half a chicken, double breast burger, large chips and halloumi) that it obviously took a while to get it together!
Unfortunately part of my chicken leg was slightly bloody which did put me off finishing it. The breast was great and the large peri chips (once again, too many for me to handle) had lots of peri salt on them.
Dinner was followed by the team's Nando's quiz which went down well as 3 pairs battled it out in dramatic fashion.
That gave everyone time to find room for dessert. The only problem was that choc-a-lot cake ran out (they had 3 left but 4 people wanted it) and there was no stock of another dessert so some second choices came into play. There was no clotted cream with the cakes which I saw as an improvement although it was evidently down to no stock rather than a change in the menu.
All in all, everyone left extremely satisfied and there were smiles all round.
Looking forward to the next RYN Contributor Dinner and thanks so much to Goodge Street Nando's (particularly to Minty and Lei) for all their help!
