Nando's

About

Nando’s are excited to have opened in the newly redeveloped Dolphin Square, Weston-super-Mare, next to the entrance to the brand new Cineworld cinema.

Since opening, it has already become one of the most popular restaurants in the town, where you can enjoy the famous Peri Peri spiced foods that started life in Southern Africa in 1987.

Filled with vibrant colours, incredible patterns and interesting mixes of old and new, this new African design pays homage to our roots in a fresh, exciting way that’s packed with heat and a lot of jeart!

It’s one where Nando’s and farmers are growing for good. It all started when we decided that rather than outsource the supply of our chillies, we would get in touch with small-scale farmers in Southern Africa to grow them for us. We’re no farming experts, so regional Farming Organisations run the project on our behalf; teaching, empowering and giving farmers access to finance, materials and seedlings as they go along. We meanwhile guarantee that we’ll buy the farmers’ crops at a fair price (that’s determined before the growing season even starts).

Thanks to the hard work and dedication of our partners and 1,400 farmers, this initiative is growing from strength to strength and every Nando’s PERi-PERi sauce, basting or marinade contains chillies that come from the PERi-Farms in Mozambique, Malawi, Zimbabwe and South Africa. It’s something we’re proud of. What warms our hearts even more is the difference this has made to people’s lives. Having a stable income has given PERi-farmers and their families greater access to education, healthcare, water, energy and housing. So the next time you taste our PERi-PERi, taste real happiness. Because that’s exactly what it has helped create.
