Nando’s has announced ‘controlled opening’ of 7 restaurants across the country, including 2 in Manchester.
The re-openings are part of an operation to help provide free hot meals to NHS staff.
The company will provide up to 1,700 free meals each day for key workers that are working near the 7 sites and additional meals to charities within the local communities.

The 2 sites in Manchester include Manchester Printworks and Fallowfield sites which will be making 250 meals per shift.
Kitchen staff at the re-opened sites will also be cooking for local charities inline with the company’s ‘No Chuckin’ our Chicken’ initiative which sees spare food at the end of the day being given away to those who need it most.
Charities include youth organisations, homelessness charities, refugee projects and women’s and family shelters.

The meals will be delivered directly to the key workers, being dropped at hospitals between 6-9pm each evening.
The staff at Nando’s will be abiding by strict social distancing rules while preparing food.
We’ll have to wait a little longer to get our peri-peri chicken fix when Nando’s restaurants open again following the lift of lockdown.
