NANDO'S is now on the lookout for new staff members to work at its soon-to-open restaurant at Northgate Yard in Bridgwater.

The South African-Portuguese blended-inspired restaurant is expected to open its doors this summer. 

A Facebook post from Northgate Yard said: "Looking for a new job? Nando's are now hiring for their new restaurant in Northgate Yard!

"With front of house, cashier and kitchen roles available, both full time and part time, take a look to see if this might be something you fit the bill for."

Anyone interested in a job at the restaurant can apply online.

Nando’s, famous for its PERi-PERi chicken, has a wide range of food options and is popular with people of all ages.

Northgate Yard has also confirmed that local independent, La Kasia Tapas & Cocktail, will be taking a unit at the new flagship leisure and entertainment venue.

La Kasia, which comes from successful local restaurateur Erdal Sahin, will serve a selection of Mediterranean dishes and cocktails.

When the announcement was made, Cllr Duncan McGinty, who led Sedgemoor District Council, said: “We’re so excited to welcome both Nando’s and La Kasia to Northgate Yard.

“It is hugely exciting to see Northgate Yard continue to develop. There is further interest in the remaining two units, and we hope that, following the announcement of Nando’s and La Kasia, we will secure a number of offers.”

Erdal Sahin, who also owns The Green Olive and Wild Rocket in Bridgwater, said: “We love bringing delicious food to the people of Bridgwater and beyond, and are really excited to be part of Northgate Yard.

“Our food is made with natural, fresh ingredients that we source locally. We’ll be offering food throughout the day and evening, whether it’s for a pre-cinema or bowling bite to eat, or leisurely gatherings with friends and family.”

Northgate Yard officially opened in October 2022, with the launch of a state-of-the-art 7-screen cinema from Scott Cinemas.
