Nando's Stockport

You know what you're getting at this Peel Centre spot, and sometimes that's exactly what you want. The familiar red booths and Portuguese-inspired artwork feel reassuring after a shopping session at the retail park, and the staff here actually seem to care about getting your order right - not always a given at chain restaurants. The chicken's consistently juicy, the chips are properly seasoned, and they're generous with the sauces when you ask. It's nothing revolutionary, but when you're craving that distinctive peri-peri kick without battling Manchester traffic, this Stockport branch delivers. The location makes it perfect for families doing the weekend shop, and the late hours mean it's there when you need a decent meal after everything else on Great Portwood Street has shut up shop.
