About Nando's UK & IRE
It all started in 1987, in a suburb of Johannesburg called Rosettenville. A man named Fernando Duarte invited Robbie Brozin to a humble eatery to try some mouth watering PERi-PERi chicken. The rest, as they say, is history. Five years later, Nando’s landed in the UK. When it did, we made a decision: to put as much passion into our people, as we do our chicken. That’s because, as extraordinary as it may sound, chicken alone doesn’t make us who we are. It’s the people that make the chicken.
