Wrong advertising

AI Highlights
  • - The big breakfast is advertised to include a drink and coffee.
  • - Coffee or orange juice isn't included and extra charges aren't disclosed.

The big breakfast is over advertised with a drink and a cup of coffee you get everything else but no coffee or no orange juice. Youll have to pay for it that is not said in your literature on your menu so it leads customers to believe that that is included to be told that you have to buy that extra.

I brought a product directly from the Co-op that, after use, I noticed that the seal had been tampered with. I contacted Co-op, who then advised me to contact the number on the bottle, but there wasn't any number. I was frustrated as I've dragged around the houses trying to get someone to speak to.

Preferred solution: I need the item examined and an investigation carried out.

User's recommendation: None at this point.

About a specific store

You advertise that you employ 16-year-olds. Why is it that your manager in Bentleybridge, Wolverhampton, refuses to employ 16-year-old school leavers?

Nandos UK - Food was terriable

I ordered my wrap full of pepper chicken. I was told it was plain chicken.

I don't eat pepper or salt. It was awful. I didn't eat it. I spoke to a manager; she didn't offer a refund.

Just a plain wrap with pieces of chicken covered in pepper. I was told it was a fillet.

I want my money back. I will add a photo.

Nandos UK - I ordered a plain chicken wrap I was charged £8.50

I wasn't told when I ordered it would be small pieces of chicken full of pepper in a dry wrap. I brought it to the attention of the staff manager, who never offered a refund.

I didn't eat the food; it was awful.

No refund was offered, no 'sorry,' nothing. Just give me your email, and I will send a complaint for you.

Don't ask for delivery,these delivery drivers are useless

Original review Jun 28, 2025
I ordered a meal Saturday evening for my wife and myself,to the cost of just under £50.00 and was advised it would be delivered in approx 40 to50 minutes,after 55minutes I had a message on my phone saying delivered and enjoy.Let me say now it was not delivered and I have proof of that by the way of camera recording. I then made a phone call to find out and report not delivered the man that came on the phone was foreign and very hard to understand.I told him I have not recieved my order,his reply was to say my money would be refunded,I told him I did not want a refund that I wanted my order,he flatly refused,I told him I wanted to speak to someone higher,another man came on the phone with a heavier acsent the the last one,I got absolutely know where,all I wanted what I had ordered,he said the delivery biker could not find us we have had deliveries from you before,poor excuse,proberly round the corner eating our meal.My wife,daughter,grandson frequently go to Nandos but know more.this was disgraceful,this experience will be going on social media,come back to me if you dare, Mr R G Upton.

User's recommendation: Dont bother with Nandos go to KFC at least you get a good deal

Failure to refund me after serving sour food

AI Highlights
  • - On 27 July, the avocado tasted sharp and sour.
  • - Deliveroo and Nando's blamed each other for the refund; no refund was issued.

I have ordered from Nando's repeatedly in the past and their meals have always been delicious. That was until 27th July, when I ordered a half avocado with my meal.

It tasted sharp and bitter; looking into it, I realised that meant the avocado had gone off, turned sour. First thing I did was ask Deliveroo, who delivered the order, for a refund. I thought they could refund me, then talk to Nando's. Apparently, Deliveroo couldn't do anything; Nando's was responsible l, they said.

I contacted Nando's by filling in their form; I received no reply. I called them on 30th July because I thought it would help move things along. The manager in the branch where I live, who had made the mistake, said it was not up to Nando's, but Deliveroo. I called Deliveroo, who said no, it is up to Nando's.

So I called Nando's again and the manager said once more that they couldn't refund me. One of them was obviously lying, but which one? I discovered afterwards that the restaurant is held accountable for erroneous food. Well, you might wonder why I made such a stink about a measly not even £3, but it's the principle; what if I had food poisoning?

And if it's petty of me to demand a refund of just under £3, then what does that make the company that is too tight to repay it to me?

Either way, I am done with Deliveroo and I am done with Nando's. In the immortal words of the late George Kennedy, you can both go *** a duck.

User's recommendation: Watch out if you receive bad food and try to get a refund - they have been impossible with me and made me chase my tail

Very poor feedback! Awful, poorly cooked.

Cold food. Slow service. Multiple meals on hotplate were waiting while staff chatted. Chicken was cooked, but the leg had no meat and the bone was black.

Inedible cold food. Cold chips. There's nothing more I can say. How do you expect me to write 100 symbols?

AI Highlights
  • - Visited York Road; discount denied due to girlfriend's sacking; manager Chris Freeman spoke in front of customers; we left and may pursue further.
Updated by user Oct 22, 2024

We went for a family *** your new doncaster branch..My sons girlfriend had previously worked there..From the second we walked in we were glared at and staff were whispering. Awful atmosphere.

My nephew worked there and said we could get discount. However the manager came out just as we were given it and said we couldn't have it as my sons girlfriend had been sacked and started discussing it in front of customers. I had offered to pay in full but once he started l said we would eatvelsewhere. He was awful infact his behaviour was inappropriate and bullying.

My sons girlfriend is so quiet and polite she was upset.

I later rung and asked for his name to report the incident . Chris Freeman..We have also been advised to look at taking the matter further as his behaviour was inappropriate.

Original review Oct 21, 2024
We went for a meal at the new branch on york road. My sons girlfriend had previously worked there but let go.

My sons cousin worked there and said we could have discount.
From the second we walked through the door we were glared at. My son went to place our order and was just about to pay when the manager l believe called Chris Freeman came over and informed one of the staff we couldn't have discount as my sons girlfriend had been sacked.
My son called me over and l offered to pay for the meal in full. My son and his girlfriend were extremely upset by the behaviour of Chris on the front where customers were. I told them we would eat elsewhere and we left..We were glared at and whispered about from start to finish.

It was an awful atmosphere.
My sons girlfriend has since started a job elsewhere and up until this incident no longer working for you had not been a problem.
Your manager behaved in an unprofessional manner becoming of a child highly inappropriate for someone in his position Perhaps he would benefit from retraining and a course in customer service.
As a regular customer of Nandos Meadowhall you have now not only list yourselves one customer as no doubt you will be aware word of mouth is a great tool as is the media.
This is not about discount as l already mentioned l offered to pay in full.

It is about the young man's unprofessional bullying behaviour in front of other customers. Sadly l have no intention in eating with you at any of your restaurants in the future as l do not like bullying behaviour and currently considering whether to take the matter further
Maybe your customer service needs improving with certain individuals.
Kind Regards

User's recommendation: Don't eat here awful management and customer sevice

Nandos UK - Food poisoning

Hi, I have visited your Nandos store today in burton with my husband and we have spent £44 on two meals and a couple of sides. We have come away after having lunch here and weve come away both feeling dreadful.

This is the only meal we have eaten today, Ive got home and I have not stopped being violently sick. My husband is exactly the same and Im pretty sure weve have got food poisoning from this meal.

I have a raging on and off temperature, aswell as being sick, abdominal cramps and on the toilet for the last 2 hours. I am not one to complain but I dont expect to spent this amount of money on a meal to spend the rest of my day seriously ill.
