Ep 2 – 14 Sep 2016 – ..so, new iPhones you say!
…or the one where, Kingsley fails to make a burger…
Location: Nando’s, The Brunswick Centre, Bloomsbury, WC1N 1AE
Order: 1 x Chicken Butterfly + Creamy Mash + Salad, 1 x Chicken Butterfly Burger + Coleslaw + Corn on the cob
Review: 4/5
Comment: You know what you’re getting an Nando’s. Still, having to get up to order always niggles. Why on Earth you’d put a burger lid and bury it beneath salad next to the pattie is beyond me though!
