Wednesday 22nd October 2014

Chesterfield residents and visitors are in for a tasty treat as Nando’s, home of legendary Portuguese flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken, opened to the public today, Wednesday 22nd October 2014.



Located in Alma Leisure Park on the former Blockbusters retail site, the restaurant stays true to Nando's unique Afro-Portuguese roots with a stunning design seating up to 128 guests.



The opening has also created 30 new jobs for the local area, ranging from cashiers and grillers to assistant managers.

Packed with flavour and great variety, the new restaurant is just a stone's throw away from the cinema and will provide the perfect pre or post film refreshment for students, families and locals.

19 year old Nando's 'superfan', Jared Shooter, was given the opportunity of a lifetime after winning a Facebook competition to open the new Chesterfield restaurant.

Jared is adding to his list of Nando's achievements, having finished second place at last year's 'Nando's Comedian of the Year'.  As well as cutting the all-important ribbon, Jared is the very first customer to sample the infamous flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken.



Manager Craig Clare (above left!) spoke to the Chesterfield Post on his thoughts on today's grand opening here...

Andy Crook, Nando's Regional Managing Director said: "Chesterfield is clearly hungry for chicken, so we're delighted to be finally opening a restaurant in the area to satisfy people's cravings."


Chester Mouse joins in the fun as NMando's raise £622 for the Spireites' Community Trust

50% of the funds raised on the 'dry run' days at Nando's are going to the Chesterfield FC Community Trust which amounts to a total of £622.00.
