Nando's Reading The Oracle Centre

Why is there no vinegar for chips? None at all in the restaurant, for a restaurant that regularly serves chips I feel this is a pretty basic request. I asked a member of staff and they said there was only balsamic vinegar. I pointed to the counter that had no vinegar, balsamic or otherwise (it wasn't busy, so I could see that no other tables were using any type of vinegar). When I pressed further I was offered balsamic vinegette salad dressing. Salad dressing to go on chips? Is this just a Reading thing? I am sure I have been able to have vinegar at other restaurants.

The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere and serves delicious food promptly. There is a wide variety of options available, all at a great value for the price.

The service manager at this restaurant was terrible and unhelpful. After ordering our food, we had to double-check and go back up to the counter to order again. We ended up waiting much longer than the people who were behind us, all because the manager couldn't get our order right, even after three attempts.

Delicious food, excellent service. Nando’s always a favourite. First time at the Reading branch. Had a great time and will be back.

Absolute chaos. Several empty tables but the waiting area was very busy. The person on the door was giving people very inconsistent expected waiting times We were promised 10 mins but after 20 and total chaos we had to leave
