Nando's Northampton - Market Square

Right in the heart of the town centre on Wood Hill, you'll find yourself in one of the busiest Nando's branches this side of Milton Keynes. The location is spot-on – smack bang between the market and the Grosvenor Centre, making it ideal for when you've been battling the Saturday crowds and need some proper grub. The usual Nando's formula works well here: decent peri-peri chicken, bottomless soft drinks, and that slightly chaotic but friendly service style. The butterfly chicken hits differently when you're proper hungry after traipsing around town, and the spicy rice actually has some kick to it. Sure, it's not going to win any awards for innovation, but when you want reliable chicken that won't break the bank, this does the job nicely. The place gets rammed at weekends and school holidays, so don't expect a quiet meal.
