    First posting, so apologies if I have put this in the wrong place. :rolleyes:

    There are a number of Nando's in the Birmingham area. To my knowledge they ALL give a 20% discount (certainly the ones I use) to any member of the NHS or Emergency Services..Police, Fire, Ambulance. Like the loyalty card, they dont openly advertise it, but if you show your ID card, they slice a whopping 20% of the whole bill which makes a big difference to the total :beer: I am not sure whether this is a local thing or nationwide. If you are in the above professions, it is certainly worth asking when you go.(dont forget your card).

    Sorry if this is not a saving tip for everyone, but hopefully I have saved some colleagues some money.

    Cheers.



    However, in recent months, they are getting cheeky and will only discount a portion of the bill for the 'NHS' member only and not for the whole of the order.... especially |Broad Street.

    When I went my friend tried to get my card stamped after me as we paid seperately. The woman asked her manager but she said only 1 stamp per visit. This was in Guildford :(.

    I noticed this too..
    I only received a discount on my half chicken, not the olives, garlic bread, or the drink, or the dessert. I queried it, and she said "you only received discount for your meal"... apparently the other items I listed aren't part of my meal - lol.

    I wonder if someone takes the lady who served me out for 'a meal' and then refuses to get her a starter / sides / dessert or even a drink, she'd think that was a bit funny!
  • As with any company, the Nando's stamps are already priced into the meal.

    I end up spending 20+ on the meal regardless of the stamps (yes, I've gone through several full chicken cards) for 2 people, because if you take side dishes, drinks etc. it'll quickly add up.

    If you think about it, 1 olive and a beer = 1/2 chicken

    Ok, I'm REALLY confused about this.

    Could somebody sensible help clear this up for me please?

    The rules say you spend over £5 or whatever to get the stamp, which is fine, I get that part. But it says the stamps for your free 1/4 and 1/2 chicken must be used on the day you get them. How does this work thoughif you have to buy stuff to get the stamp in the first place?

    So I have 5 stamps, my next stamp, number 6, is the free 1/2 chicken stamp. So I have to go to Nandos for a meal to get my next stamp, but I can only use it on that day. So what do I do? Buy like my side dishes (chips & spicy rice, gotta be) and my drink, use those to get the stamp, and then claim my free chicken at the till all on the same visit?

    And when I get my number 10 stamp I can just walk in another day and get a free whole chicken? Or does that have to be used on the same day too? As far as I know stamp number 10 doesn't require a purchase. So how can you get that stamp, yet use it on the same day?

    Surely I am WAY overcomplicating this. Could somebody just talk me through it REALLY simply?
    This is WAY more fun than monopoly.

    Hi you've actually answered your own question - truly it's quite simple. When you redeem your 1/2 chicken stamp be sure to buy two side dishes and a drink = this comes to over £5 and with it you will get a FREE 1/2 chicken and a stamp of course.

    The only time you don't have to spend anything is when you redeem your final stamp for a whole FREE chicken. (So in reality you don't get a 10th stamp as they take the card away from you at this point).

    Lol you've actually managed to confuse me now - I had to get my own card out to check but if you look at square 10 it's completely GREEN so there is no room to place a stamp.

    Hope that makes sense.
