Nando's Wolverhampton - Queen Street

Right in the heart of the city centre on Queen Street, you'll find this particularly well-run branch of the Portuguese chicken chain that's become as British as Sunday roast. The staff here seem to genuinely care about getting your butterfly chicken properly cooked, and the peri-peri chips arrive hot rather than lukewarm – which frankly puts it ahead of half the Nando's locations across the West Midlands. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between family meals and post-work catch-ups, with enough noise to cover your conversation but not so much that you're shouting over screaming kids. Yes, it's still Nando's with all the usual trappings, but this Queen Street spot consistently delivers what you're craving without the usual chain restaurant disappointments.
