How to use a Nando's Gift Card

The Nando's Gift Card is for spending in Nando's restaurants in the UK. That means an official Nando's location, where you sit down and order official menu items like a quarter chicken, a wrap, or a burger with some of those famous Nando’s sides and a bottomless drink. If you’re not sure which Nando’s restaurant is closest to you, Nando's lists every restaurant location on its official website. Find Nando's restaurants near your home, work, or wherever you're going to be over the weekend.

Even though you can’t book a table in Nando’s, we always recommend picking a specific restaurant location before you set off. If you’re going out on a weekend in a busy area, it’s also a good idea to have a backup location, especially if you're planning a dinner with friends or a meal with the family.

No. The Nando's Gift Card can’t be used online. Nando’s Gift Cards are set up to be redeemed at the till when dining in person at Nando’s restaurants. The gift card won’t be accepted as payment when you order Nando’s online, for either delivery or collection. If you plan to order Nando’s for collection or delivery, have a different payment method ready. This is a gift card that encourages your recipient to get out and enjoy a fun dining experience.

If you’d prefer to give a gift that can be used to order food online, our collection of restaurant and bar gift cards includes gift cards from all of the popular food delivery apps.

Using a Nando’s gift card is just like ordering a meal as usual. Here's how it works.

• Find a restaurant. Use the location finder tool to find the Nando's restaurant you want to visit.
• Order your food. Pick your main, your spice level, and your sides as you normally would.
• Tell the staff you're paying with a gift card. When it’s time to pay the bill, let a member of staff know you’d like to pay with a gift card.
• Show your Nando’s gift card. The staff will scan the barcode or enter the gift card number from the delivery email of your e-gift card.
• Pay any difference. The gift card’s value will be applied to your bill. If there’s any difference between the gift card balance and the bill amount, you can pay the rest using another payment method.

That's all there is to it. 

Before you head out to Nando’s, you’ll need to have a few things on hand to be able to pay with a Nando’s Gift Card:

• your Nando's Gift Card, like the delivery email that contains your e-gift card details
• another payment method, in case your bill comes to more than the balance on your gift

One final reminder that the Nando’s Gift Card can only be used to pay in person at a Nando's restaurant. The gift card can't be used to place online orders.

Are you looking to buy a gift card for someone else rather than yourself? If you know that your recipient is a genuine fan of a place, they will appreciate a gift card for a specific restaurant. But if you're not sure where they like to eat, a choice gift card like the Restaurant Gift Card or The Dining Out Gift Card leaves the choice of restaurant to them.
