Nando's opening in Whitewater in time for Christmas

Nando’s, home of the legendary flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken, is set to turn up the heat in Co. Kildare when it opens its doors on Wednesday.

The new 108-seat restaurant at Whitewater Shopping Centre will bring 28 full and part-time jobs to the area, ranging from cashiers and grillers to managers.

Nando’s first Christmas menu will introduce two new tasty flame-grilled items - the PERi-Berry Burger and PERi-Orange wings.

Highlighting Nando’s South African roots, original art from emerging and established South African artists will feature throughout the restaurant in addition to striking design installations, high open raft timber ceilings and calabash style steal seating pods.

“The team is really excited to be opening the doors to our new restaurant in Co. Kildare, said Alan Snyman, Regional MD of Nando’s.

"This vibrant location will be perfect for shoppers for a PERi-PERi pit-stop and is also in close proximity to the Curragh Racecourse for pre or post-race dining!”
