First look as Rochdale's first ever Nando's restaurant gets ready to open

Nando's fans will soon be able to get their fix of peri-peri chicken at Greater Manchester's newest restaurant.

Rochdale will welcome its first Nando's restaurant this week.

The doors will open at the new Rochdale Riverside restaurant at 11.30am on Wednesday (December 1).

It's the latest addition to the £80 million Rochdale Riverside complex, which opened to the public in summer 2020.

The new Nando's restaurant has employed 38 members of staff from the local area ahead of its opening later this week.

Rochdale Council, head tenant for the Riverside site, has this morning shared photos of how the new Nando's will look.

In a post on Facebook, a spokesperson for Rochdale Council said: "The fabulous Nando's opens at Rochdale Riverside this week.

"The popular eatery, which has employed 38 team members from our borough, will be open every day from this Wednesday (December 1) from 11.30am to 10pm Rochdale town centre."

Nando's is famous for its peri-peri chicken - including wings, burgers and wraps - and has built up a huge following over the years.

The popular chain is currently offering a festive menu, with peri-peri gravy and a spiced clementine peri-peri baste.

Rochdale Riverside is host to big name retailers including M&S, Next and River Island - although the Covid pandemic has meant a more difficult start than anticipated for the complex, with the Reel Cinema's opening twice delayed before finally going ahead.

Rochdale Council is the head tenant for the Riverside complex on a 35-year lease, and has the option to buy it for £1 following that period.
