Nando's Mansfield

You know the drill with Nando's, but there's something about grabbing a table at the Mansfield Leisure Park spot that just works. It's the kind of place where you can rock up with mates after a shift, order a quarter or half chicken with proper char on the skin, and spend less than £15. The formula is reassuringly familiar—pick your peri-peri heat level, load up on those rice and bean sides, and watch people actually enjoy their food without pretension. It's busy most evenings, which tells you something about how locals feel about it.
