When we arrived all tables were taken and had a 20 minute wait. Once we got seated by our lovely server we ordered food, which you can do via app or till. Food took less than 10 minutes, very quick and perfectly cooked. Great place for a quick bite to eat of pretty decent food.
I like coming to the Nandos at Tollgate mainly because there is parking. The atmosphere is nice and the staff are polite. Food is always nice, hence being a Nandos fan.
Last time I went, I ordered the new fully loaded fries, which says it can feed 2-3 people. Well, it fed just me. Maybe I was really hungry, lol. But the portion doesn't look that big to feed 3 people. Oh, and I wish there was more cheese in the full loaded fries.

Great Nandos which is out of town so no horrible car park fees.
Very busy weekends so plan to wait for a table! Why would you not wait when the service on multiple occasions has been 5 star. Attentive staff who are always welcoming and checking on you.
Love this place long may the high service standards remain!!
Ordered via the App, collecting a huge meal for a family of five. Restaurant was super busy when I arrived just before my collection slot. Filled with trepidation of a potential delay or inaccurate delivery. Shouldn't have worried - delivery was bang on time and the order fulfilled perfectly!! Scrumptious!!!
Great restaurant as there is parking outside (limited to 3 hours) situated just off the a12 in a retail park. The staff were very polite and helpful plus who can go wrong with a “cheeky nandos” . Restaurant and toilet always clean and tidy.
Sadly my usual great experience wasn't equalled this visit. The chicken breast pitta didn't have a whole breast...just bits of chicken that didn't make a breast. The meat was dry and overcooked. The service was slow and people who came in well after us were served first. We had to chase our dinner. No apology. Noone in the staff smiled and it wasn't even that busy. Such a shame. I did communicate my dissatisfaction but noone spoke to me or tried to sort the issue. I won't be going to the Stanway branch again.
Food and service excellent. But oh the screaming and badly behaved children with ineffective do nothing pathetic mothers was horrendous. I felt sorry for the staff who had to clear up the mess left by these feral folks.
Service was a little slow, but food was as expected. Restaurant was busy and music seemed loud for an afternoon, more what you would expect in the evening.
As you'll probably know I'm a girl that loves her food.....
Read my many reviews & this fact is clearly true!
So here we are at Nandos Tollgate (it's not too far from the mega huge Sainsbury's)
I've been here a number of times to collect food, I've never dined in (as yet).
The restaurant is well thought out with the open kitchen one end as you enter & the bar is on the right hand side with the rest of the space given over to tables.
It is quite big as it goes.
The food is as ever very very good.
I do highly recommend it.
I always have the same things,
Starter; Halloumi with sweet chilli dip
Sunset burger with lemon
Nandos garlic bread & fries on the side
I share the food as it's too much for me on my own, whilst I love my food I don't have a huge appetite.
So I usually take a little of everything & I'm happy as a piggie in his sty!!
We all have our own favourites....
Enjoy!!

I always enjoy a trip to Nandos. Hadn't been to this restaurant yet and the layout was lovely. I think they've put a great system in place to abide by the coronavirus measures. I ordered the chicken wrap with lettuce, I felt that the lettuce outweighed the chicken so it really took away from the flavour. Other than that, great customer service, food was lovely and staff were kind and helpful.
