York - City Centre

I had double chicken in a pitta with medium sauce chips and garlic bread the chicken was warm at best the chips and garlic bread were same very poor not what I expected.I had to go find a member of staff to take my order we were sat what felt like ages waiting another couple saw what I did and they did the same and they were there before us all in all felt let down.

A wonderfully located Nando’s in the centre of York - you can’t help but notice the wonderful chapel situated opposite. It’s like a boutique, with a small area downstairs and upstairs. We were made to wait for 5 mins before we were seated but the member of staff made it very enjoyable. When we were seated we headed straight for the till, I had a butterfly with rice and peri chips. The food came out in around 5-10 minutes.

I stood at the till and had to wait for the team member to finish my drink before she acknowledged me. Then was told it would be another 10 minutes despite ordering online at 7pm to collect at 7.45. Very rude, and one of the chefs also was very abrupt and said "it's ok, you can park outside if you need to wait..."

We was greet at the door by a very friendly guy and we was quickly shown to our seats. Elle, served us at the till and was really friendly, polite and even advised us on what spice to get.

Called into this store on the way north, right in the city centre on a pedestrianised street it was difficult to find parking but opted to park in the multi storey above the Copper gate shopping centre.

Arrived York City centre outlet with Gerre, an outlet I have visited many many times before. Entered, and were shown to a table.

The staff were pretty friendly, even engaging in some banter when we arrived. Ordering process was fairly simple and as expected.

I tried the sweet potato wedges for the first time - very nice but wasn't a fan of the seeds that came with it. Very friendly staff and efficient service. A very decent Nandos experience!

Another visit to the York outlet in as many months, this time on a bank holiday Sunday. What a mistake that was!

It's been a while since a trip to Nandos, so whilst on a day trip in York, a visit to the city centre outlet was specifically made.

A lovely day of sightseeing came to a close with another Nando's visit in the fine company of Marco. This was an important visit as it was my 136th different Nando's visit bringing me level with James and this sure was a memorable visit.

i like this nando's, although be aware it can get VERY busy during the tourist season as it is the only branch!!

another tip would be to be aware that the spice levels of the peri peri sauce always seem to be hotter here, so if you usually go for extra hot, i would bump down to hot (trust me, i learnt the hard way and burnt my innards for a whole 24hrs! ouchy!)

make sure you pick up a wristband for free entry into the local nightclub! ;-)

Shoved near food hatch. No decoration apart from staff photos. Food was ok but they should have opened upstairs instead of cramming us downstairs.

Just down the road from the Jorvik Viking Centre is this pretty modern Nando's (inside). With it being in York City Centre, parking can be at premium depending on where you park. I paid £5.40 for 3 hours at Union Terrace car park - and other car parks, such as the one at the foot of Clifford's Tower, will be more. Great parking locations though, just a few minutes to wherever you need to be in York.

Every time I have been to this nandos the service has been excellent and never had to wait too long for food... Bar rush hour which is expected
