Bringing Laughter to Leicester…

Wednesday, February 1st, 2012

Here at Nando’s we’re always game for a laugh and to prove it, we’re giving you the chance to get your hands on the hottest tickets at the Leicester Comedy Festival.

On Tuesday 7th February, we’re putting on a Nando’s comedy gig, ‘The Other Side’ and we’ve got ten pairs of tickets (and of course loads of PERi-PERi) up for grabs for those up for a laugh.

Back for its second year, we’ve got four hilarious comedians lined up to storm the stage at the Nando’s Highcross restaurant. Chris Ramsey an Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee who you might’ve spotted on Celebrity Juice or 8 Out of 10 Cats, Jarred Christmas the Kiwi from 2011’s Celebrity Mastermind, Tom Davis whose characters have probably already made you laugh on Channel 4’s Morgana Show, and Paul McCaffrey who debuted his solo standup, ‘Saying Something Stupid’ at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

To get your hands on a pair of tickets, just make us laugh by adding the punch line to the following joke …we’ll pick the ten that have us creasing up to come along.

If you’re on Twitter, tweet your punch line to the following joke using the hashtag #NandosHaHa to see if you’ve got what it takes to make us laugh. Alternatively, head on over here to our competition entry page and make us do a little giggle with your punchline.

Barci walks into a bar . . .

Good luck!

Prize includes entry of the winner and one guest to ‘The Other Side’ Nando’s comedy night only. Competition entrants must be over 18. The doors open at 7.30pm and show starts at 8.30-10.30pm.

Nando’s Christmas Jumper Giveaway

Tuesday, December 20th, 2011

So, by now you should all be feeling festive. The tree is up, you’ve bought (almost) all your presents and your Christmas playlists are blasting out the stereo.

However, there’s one thing missing. A massive hole that needs filling with a bit more festivity – the ultimate celebration of Christmas in a single wool garment. Yep, you need a Nando’s Christmas Jumper.

As you know, these extremely limited edition jumpers are not for sale. But, because of the amount of love you’ve shown us (and there was a lot of it) we’ ve managed to get our hands on the very last one* to give away to one lucky Nando’s fan. Because, after all, it’s Christmas and we think you deserve it!

So, how do you get your hands on the last remaining Nando’s Christmas Jumper? Well, we’d like to see your finest festive photos, ones that make us laugh, smile or just feel all Christmassy.

So, tweet us your festive pics to @Nandos_official using the hashtag #NandosXmasjumper and if yours is our absolute favourite (usually the one that makes us do the biggest LOL), there’ll be a Nando’s Christmas Jumper on its way to you in time for Christmas. Oh and you’ll be the envy of the rest of the internet, well the Nando’s bit of it anyway.

*Jumper is a size medium and is literally the very last one available on this planet

PERi PERi Phurrrrr Ha-Ha-Ha!

Friday, December 16th, 2011

Back in October, we asked you what noise you make when you think of Nando’s. After three months searching, entries from Nando’s fans across the country (including Olly Murs, Rizzle Kicks and Rio Ferdinand) and thousands of votes at NandosNoise.com we can now crown the winner of the Ultimate Nando’s Noise competition!

You decided that Mitchell’s ‘PERi PERi Phurrrrr Ha-Ha-Ha!’ is the Ultimate Nando’s Noise, just beating finalists Sasha and Danai to win an amazing holiday to South Africa.

So, massive thanks to everyone that took part and voted, especially everyone who uploaded their own Nando’s Noise and of course our three shortlisted finalists who’ve all won themselves free Nando’s for a year!

Finding out about having his noise being voted the Ultimate Nando’s Noise, Mitchell said: “I am thrilled to be have won. From hearing the ads on the radio, I just had to enter, not only for the holiday but for the year’s supply of Nando’s. I will be celebrating my win with a medium half chicken and chips! Thanks to everyone that voted!”

So that’s a wrap. (ba-doom-tsssh) We hope you agree as we speak on behalf of the PERi nation that Mitchell captures that very moment that we all love when eating PERi-PERi chicken!

Stars Spice things up at the Nando’s Bullring

Friday, December 9th, 2011

This week we were in Birmingham to officially re-open the Nando’s Bullring restaurant. To help us celebrate; Olly Murs, Rizzle Kicks and Loick Essien popped along to entertain 200 lucky fans with an exclusive set, fuelled by Nando’s finest PERi-PERi chicken.

In between the wraps and wings, Rizzle Kicks and Loick Essien couldn’t help themselves with an improptu performance of the Justin Timberlake’s “Like I Love You” to get everyone warmed up and ready for the show.

Loick kicked things off with his favourite tracks, impressing the crowd with his vocal chords and singing his hit, “How We Roll”. Then he treated the crowd to his latest song “Me Without You” – which had everyone swaying and fully in the mood for some more tunes.

Rizzle Kicks were next to storm the stage and performed their hits including, “Down with the Trumpets”, even bringing their very own trumpet player along for the crowd to get down with.

Screams echoed through the Bullring when Olly took to the stage to perform his new number one single, “Dance with me Tonight”. Although remaining tight-lipped on who had his vote on X-Factor this weekend, Olly went on perform “Please don’t let me go”.

Leaving the crowd wanting more, Olly Murs and Rizzle Kicks ended the show with a rather tasty performance of “Heart Skips a Beat” then later stuck around to sign autographs and have their photos taken with fans.

Thanks everyone for joining us and make sure you let us know what you think of the bigger, better, Bullring restaurant if you pop in soon. Don’t worry if you missed out, stay tuned for some exclusive videos….

Vote Now! It’s time to choose the ULTIMATE NANDO’s NOISE

Friday, November 18th, 2011

We’ve heard your ooooohhhs and we’ve heard your brrwwaaakkk’s – it’s fair to say you know how to express your love for PERi-PERi chicken! But, as we continue to search for the Ultimate Nando’s Noise; the explosion of joy you make when you think of Nando’s, our three finalists have now been selected and it’s down to you to decide which one should become the Ultimate Nando’s Noise.

Entries flooded in from far and wide, all competing for the chance to bag free Nando’s for a year and visit our homeland- South Africa. Rio Ferdinand, Olly Murs, Jameela Jamil and Rizzle Kicks all submitted their noises and along with hundreds of other entries, we whittled it down to three.

It’s clear to see how much our fans love chicken and from all of us at Nando’s we thank you for your entries but after much consideration, let us introduce to you our three finalists who have each won free Nando’s for a year. It’s over to you now, which one should be the ULTIMATE NANDO’s NOISE and win a holiday to South Africa?

Danai Gombera is from Bedworth and his favourite Nando’s dish is of course . . . Nando’s PERi-PERi chicken. Danai is big on his music and loves everything from RnB through to Pop and Reggae. When he’s not listening to music, he’s checking out the latest gadgets or learning about new cultures

Mitchell Rowlandson is originally from the Lake District and settled in London so he could fulfill his PERi-PERi passion. When he’s not eating a Nando’s, he can be found playing the drums or having fun with his friends – like he was when he entered the competition after hearing the ads on the radio

Sasha Van Diepen is a student from Kent. When Sasha’s not munching on a lemon and herb PERi-PERi chicken burger, she’s taking part in anything music or drama related. Sasha hopes her noise will get everyone excited about PERi PERi chicken just as much as she does!

So now you know a bit more about our finalists, it’s down to you . . . we’re calling out to the Nando’s nation to tell us who you think has the Ultimate Nando’s noise and should win a trip to South Africa. Vote now for your favourite at www.nandosnoise.co.uk
