Portuguese-style peri-peri purveyors Nando’s have opened their newest restaurant in New Malden’s high street.

Chicken and chips fanciers have waited patiently since rumours first surfaced in July the chain was planning a new site in the borough.

The restaurant, just off the Fountain roundabout, opened at 11.30am today.

Diners tweeted photos this afternoon showing it was already full.
