Do Nando's serve spirits?

[Yaayuh!]

I've never been to a Nando's, do you really pay for the food before it's served?

Indeed, lack of table service is a pet hate. But it's fast-food, that's how they work

Yes, a fermented liquid is then further processed to make the drink, much like wine and beer - but none the less the ingredients are fermented - so "fermented crap" as you put it covers spirits.

It's incomparable on a chemical level, you are extracting pure alcohol, you could even use synthetically produced alcohol when making spirits and not alcohol produced by fermentation. You have a product that is very distinct from wine and beer.

I think I've been twice. Once a long time ago, and once more recently because we needed food before the cinema and thought it'd be a good idea. It's dreadful. Just loud and overly busy... twinned with bang average food. Is there nowhere better you could opt for?! Perhaps you're the one organising this and don't realise it's rubbish as you've never been.

I'm not organising it, I only just found out about it today. As you can imagine I would not organise an event at a venue that does not cater to everyone by not serving spirits!

As odd as it feels saying this: asim does have a point.

I mean it's Nando's! It is barely a step up from McDonalds - not really something that people tend to plan far in advance thus the expression 'cheeky Nando's'. I've generally been to one in the past on say a Friday lunchtime or maybe as a quick meal with colleagues when working late and it's always been on a whim.

I'm not sure that spending 20-30mins in the place necessitates bringing a hip flask any more than say a trip to pizza express, GBK or itsu. They're quick, cheap food options - you can easily go to a bar before or after.

I also felt dirty when realising I agreed with Asim.

Wine is very distinctive from beer as is whisky for example, all of them have an initial process of fermentation.
If you simply can't drink "fermented crap" youve just ruled out spirits too, all trying to sound like you're really cool. You chose your words, not me, i was just pointing out that fermented crap forms the basis of most spirits as well as beer, it's not as if spirit producers are producing synthetic alcohol these days for anything other than gimmicks....
But you're obviously a cut above the average plebs drinking their fermented crap eh?! (And eating nandos!)
I'd be much more worried about how the chicken in nandos is produced than i would be about the fermentation process on their drinks...

Nope. Hip flask out in Nando's = bell-end.

You must be one of those strong characters that cares what people think about them.

They sell savanna. All you need.

Thanks for the compliment; however I don't care what people think, so I haven't derived any pleasure from your kind words.
