Down in Devon for the weekend, so made sure I stopped in on this Nando's. It's on the Drake Circus retail park in the new Barcode Centre. The Barcode has its own parking and is fairly pricey, priced at £2.80/2hrs, £4/3hrs, £5/4hrs, £6/5hrs, £7/6hrs and £12/24hrs - with an evening rate of £2 for arrivals after 5pm. There's also a Cineworld in the Barcode. It's just over half a mile walk from Plymouth train station too.

Arrived here as soon as it opened at 11am on a Saturday. It's still pretty new, so was clean and very bright. Lots of large canvas paintings suspended on poles in the middle of the restaurant. There are two very large half-booths at the very back in red leather. Toilets at the back tiled in black and white.

There was no wait for the food at all and it came in under 5 minutes... seeing as we were the only ones in there. I went for the Mozam wrap and was a bit disappointed with it. The chicken was quite dry and there was too much black garlic sauce on - far more than when I have had it previously. It overpowered the peri flavour. Chips and rice were an average sized portion (especially the chips) - but were both piping hot.

Staff were fine and doing as expected.
