What a great combination Free Nando’s and Free tickets to the theatre. Nando’s is a great option for pre-theatre or pre-cinema. Tuck into a fine feast and relax knowing that you won’t be waiting for the bill just as you need to make a dash for your seats. We thought you might like a night out? How about a free meal at any Nando’s for two then tickets for both of you to see Sucker Punch at the Royal Court Theatre in Sloane Square. The nearest Nando’s restaurant is in Victoria Cardinal Place or Wilton Road (just a short tube ride away).

Sucker Punch is a brand new show opening on 11^th June. In the red corner: Leon Davidson – Black British champ or Uncle Tom? In the blue corner: Troy Augustus– American powerhouse or naïve cash cow? Two former friends step into the ring and face up to who they are. Roy Williams’ play Sucker Punch looks back on what it was like to be young and black in the 80s and asks if the right battles have been fought, let alone won.

To win this brilliant prize, simply post your comment answering – Which Nando’s Peri Peri sauce packs the biggest punch? Which is the hottest Peri Peri sauce?

We’re very proud of our new addition to the family! Our restaurant on York Way in Kings Cross opened last Wednesday and has been an amazing success. Gabor is the Patrao (Patrao is what we call our managers, it’s Portuguese for head of the family!) and he is truely at the helm of that great ship, steering her onto the seas of York Way. We thought we’d share some pics of the beauty that is Nando’s in Kings Cross. Have you been? Are you going? Please share your thoughts and comments here!

Did you hear that flapping noise? Sorry, only us spreading our wings!! We’re all pretty excited as we have a brand new restaurant opening this week (Wednesday 21^st April) just around the corner from Kings Cross station – on York Way. It’s a stunning restaurant, we hope we can welcome you to chow down on some chicken soon! It’s going to be pretty handy if you’re nipping off up north on the train or if you’ve got time to come in and relax with us.

We now have 22 restaurants in central London, a pretty impressive count I’m sure you’ll agree. We’re near several stations – Victoria (Cardinal Place and Wilton Road), Euston (right outside the station), Kings Cross (York Way) , London Bridge (Clink St) and Liverpool Street (Spitalfields) – a take away from Nando’s could be the perfect travel companion to join you on your next train journey. Fancy a pre-theatre Nando’s? We have restaurants in Piccadilly (Glasshouse St), Soho (Frith St), Covent Garden (Chandos Place) and Holborn (Southampton Place). Also if you’re on a shopping extravaganza at Westfield, a quick bite to eat in Nando’s is a perfect retail therapy break.

So, we just thought we’d share with you our newest restaurant to open and remind you that wherever and whenever you need us we’ll be there!

Crazy Nando’s Fans ‘You Me At Six’ have been indulging their love of the mighty Peri Peri chicken at Nando’s in Brixton before their gig at Brixton Academy.

The guys are big Nando’s fans, so much so that their tour manager Rob Highcroft has had the Nando’s cockerel tattooed on his finger – check out this picture! That’s dedication for you!

We’re delighted that they’re such big fans and wish them lots of luck with their tour – check out what they’re up to here http://www.youmeatsix.co.uk/

Well, we’ve always known it, but we’re still pretty chuffed it has to said! We’ve been voted Number One in the Sunday Times Best Big Company to work for awards! The award means a lot to us because it recognises the inspiration and encouragement that everyone who works at Nando’s experiences.

A few of our colleagues went along on Thursday 25^th February to the awards ceremony in Battersea Park. It was a great evening and everyone from Nando’s was made to feel very welcome. Apparently lots of people approached the team during the evening proudly showing their Nando’s loyalty cards! The announcement of our win was kept quiet until Sunday (7^th March) because that was when it was featured in the Sunday Times. However, one of our MD’s managed to take one of the posters announcing our win underneath his jacket and back through Waterloo station – it’s about 3ft !!

We thought we’d share a few of our pictures. We’re really proud of this award, it means an awful lot to us.

Remember Gremlins? Brilliant wasn’t it – might have been a while ago, but it’s still great. Anyway, the guy who played Billy (Zach Galligan) is appearing in a new film called Cut, which is the world’s first single continuous shot Horror/Thriller Feature Film. Zach is over in the UK at the moment for the premier and we were lucky enough to have a chat with him before he got stuck into some Peri Peri chicken at Nando’s in Notting Hill.

So then, we’ve read in the news today that this is meant to be the most depressing day of the year! Apparently the lack of Christmas festivities, knowledge that we’ve all broken our New Years Resolutions and still a few days till pay day means that we’re at rock bottom!!

It’s easy to say isn’t it, but maybe we should be looking further afield around the world to see people who are really hitting rock bottom, surviving an earthquake and living in devastation is something we can’t even comtemplate. We’d like to encourage you to look at the link above for a bit of fun, howeverwe think that really the link below would probably be time better spent. Not meaning to preach, just thought we’d share!

OK – we know you love them! We know you love to smother them in butter and sink your teeth into their tasty flesh, but I’m afraid I have bad news – we’re running short on Corn on the Cob at the moment! We have pretty high standards for our corn – yellow, corny etc, etc (similar to our standards for our blog, humm…) but our usual source has unexpectedly dwindled. Fear not though it’ll only be for a couple of weeks and then our top quality delicious Corn on the Cob will be back on the menu! Sorry for any disappointment, in the meantime you could try another of our delicious side dishes – creamy potato mash is grrreeeat, as is the sweet potato mash. Incidentally have you tried the Macho Peas yet – they are really, really good, unexpected flavour combination with chilli and mint – taste sensation!!!

Apologies again for the lack of corn – we’ll have them back as soon as possible, we didn’t want to serve you any manky inferior ones so we’re going to hold out for the good stuff!!
