This popular fast food chain has reopened its doors

From Red Online

Not being able to access our usual fast food fixes during lockdown has been a challenge to say the least, despite many budding chefs successfully recreating their favourite dishes at home, sometimes only the real thing will do. Which is why the news that Nandos has reopened will be game-changer for many.

As of yesterday (May 26th), the grilled chicken chain reopened 54 of it's restaurants across the UK for delivery and collection only, with 40 more set to be announced today.

After successfully opening a few select stores for delivery a few weeks ago, as a trial run, it was decided that a reduced staff could return to nearly 100 of its restaurants in major cities such as Glasgow, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Birmingham, Coventry, Leicester, London and Belfast.

Staff must wear PPE gear, adhere to the strictest government-approved hygiene rules and practising social distancing at all times to ensure the safety of both staff and customers.

Nandos have stated that all orders must be placed online and that customers should only head to their local branch at their allotted pickup time; queuing inside and outside the restaurant is to be avoided.

The fast food chain has been closed since the beginning of the UK lockdown, but that hasn't stopped diehard fans from attempting to recreate their own peri-peri dishes at home, after Nandos released several of it's signature recipes online. But nothing quite beats the real deal, which is why this move will surely be welcome news to many.

Before you go racing to order for dinner tonight, check whether your favourite dishes are still on the menu, as they've had to reduce the food options in order to help the team maintain social distance in the kitchen and food prep areas.
