How can I delete my Nando's Account?

Log into your Nando's account on the app or web, head to **'manage my account'** and choose **delete account**. All applicable data is removed within **30 days**. Heads up: you'll lose any saved loyalty Rewards and unredeemed Chillies, and those can't be restored — so spend any Green/Orange/Red Rewards before you delete. If the in-app option fails, email customers@nandos.co.uk requesting account deletion under UK GDPR.

Can I cancel my Nando's order after placing it?

Only if the restaurant hasn't received the order yet. Per Nando's terms: *'No refund will be permissible if the attempt to cancel is made after the restaurant has received the Order.'* In practice that's a window of seconds to a minute or two. Call the restaurant directly — the central email is too slow. If you cancel in time but the payment has already been taken, Nando's will refund within 10 working days.

What happens if I don't collect my Nando's order?

If you don't collect a Collection order within **30 minutes** of your indicative collection time, it's disposed of and you don't get a refund. For Delivery orders, if you (or your authorised representative) aren't there to take delivery within **5 minutes** of the Deliveroo driver arriving, the delivery is aborted and no refund is issued. Always go to the right restaurant and keep your phone on.

How do I complain about a Nando's order or visit?

Two routes. **Same-day issues** (cold food, missing items, poor service): speak to the Manager on Duty in-restaurant or by phone — they have authority to refund or replace. **Anything older or unresolved**: email **customers@nandos.co.uk** with your order number, the restaurant, photos and the resolution you want. Expect a 3–4 day reply. The escalation route on Trustpilot is a written complaint quoting a reference number; if Nando's still refuses a refund for unfit food, raise a chargeback with your bank.

Will I lose my Chillies and Rewards if I cancel my account?

Yes. Nando's warns directly: *'you will lose any saved loyalty rewards.'* Once deletion is selected, unused Chillies, unredeemed Green/Orange/Red Rewards and your Nando's Card history can't be recovered. Rewards already expire after **1 year** anyway, but deletion wipes them instantly. Tip: redeem your highest-tier Reward on a final visit before pressing delete.

Is there a cancellation fee for Nando's?

No — Nando's isn't a subscription service, so there's no fee to cancel a Rewards account or stop using the app. The only money at stake is the cost of an in-flight order: if the restaurant has already received it, you forfeit the order value with no refund. Delivery and service charges on Deliveroo-fulfilled orders are non-refundable once the order is accepted unless the full order is cancelled by Nando's.

How do I unsubscribe from Nando's marketing emails?

Click the **unsubscribe link** at the bottom of any Nando's marketing email, or log in and toggle email preferences in your Nando's account. This stops marketing but keeps your Rewards account active. To stop transactional messages too, you'll need to delete the account entirely from 'manage my account'. Under UK GDPR you can also email dataprotection@nandos.co.uk to exercise your right to object to marketing.

Can I get a refund if my Nando's delivery never arrived?

Yes — a non-delivered order is a failure to fulfil, and Nando's terms say they'll refund the value of unfulfilled Products plus delivery and service charges. Email **customers@nandos.co.uk** the same day with your order number, delivery address and a screenshot of the Deliveroo tracking. Trustpilot reviewers report pushback (Nando's blaming the 'delivery pin'), so if they refuse, raise a chargeback with your card issuer — non-delivery is a clean dispute.

Does Nando's refund cold or wrong food?

It should. UK Consumer Rights Act 2015 (and equivalents in the EU/US) require food to be of satisfactory quality. Nando's terms acknowledge *'You have legal rights in relation to Products that are not as described and/or not of satisfactory quality.'* Speak to the Manager on Duty while you're still in the restaurant — they're empowered to refund or replace immediately. For delivery, photograph the food, contact the restaurant first, then escalate to customers@nandos.co.uk if ignored.

Can I cancel a Nando's gift card or get my money back?

Nando's gift cards aren't generally refundable once issued, in line with most UK retailer gift-card policies. If the card hasn't been activated or used, contact **customers@nandos.co.uk** within 14 days of purchase and cite UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 (distance selling 14-day cooling-off) for online purchases. For a faulty or non-working card, you're entitled to a replacement or refund — keep the original purchase receipt.

Nando's customer service phone number UK

Nando's UK head office is reachable on **+44 203 974 2182**, but for individual order issues the help centre directs you to **call the specific restaurant** — find the number via nandos.co.uk/restaurants. The general customer support email is **customers@nandos.co.uk**, and data-protection requests go to **dataprotection@nandos.co.uk**. Email replies take 3–4 working days, so phone the restaurant for anything time-sensitive.

Hi Nando's team,

I'm writing to request the immediate cancellation of my subscription tied to this account, effective today.

Under applicable consumer-protection law (UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, EU Directive 2011/83/EU, or the FTC's Click-to-Cancel rule depending on your jurisdiction), I'm entitled to terminate this continuous service contract through the same channel it was formed in — please confirm by reply that no further charges will be made.

If your policy permits, I'd also appreciate a pro-rata refund for any unused portion of the current billing period.

Best,
[your name]

Wait for confirmation
Wait 24 hours. If there's no response, send a polite one-line follow-up referencing the original request.

Nando's’s refund policy

Nando's only allows you to cancel an online order before the restaurant receives it — once it hits the kitchen, no refund is owed under the terms. If items are missing, cold, wrong or unfit, you can still claim: call the restaurant's Manager on Duty for same-day issues, or email customers@nandos.co.uk for older orders. Approved refunds are processed within 10 working days. Collection orders not picked up within 30 minutes, and delivery orders refused within 5 minutes of the driver arriving, are forfeited with no refund.

“You may request that your Order is cancelled or changed after it has been submitted, but this will only be possible before the applicable restaurant has received the Order. No refund will be permissible if the attempt to cancel is made after the restaurant has received the Order. We will process refunds within ten (10) working days.”

What doesn’t work for cancelling Nando's

Based on 2 sources — Reddit, app reviews, and direct testing. Skip these and save yourself the loop.

✕ Trying to cancel a delivery order after the kitchen has accepted it — Terms state no refund is permissible once the restaurant has received the order — preparation has already begun.
✕ Asking for a refund because you didn't collect within 30 minutes — Uncollected collection orders are disposed of with no refund.
✕ Refusing the Deliveroo driver / not being in when they arrive — If you don't take delivery within 5 minutes of the driver's arrival the order is aborted and not refunded.
✕ Emailing customers@nandos.co.uk to place or amend an order — The customer-service inbox is not used to order food and replies take 3–4 days — too slow for live orders.
✕ Expecting unused Chillies or Rewards back after deleting your account — Nando's warns you will lose any saved loyalty rewards on deletion and they cannot be recovered.

How Nando's will try to keep you

Nando's may respond with a retention offer — a discount, a free month, or a downgrade to a cheaper tier. Don't engage with the counteroffer. Restate that you want a full cancellation and cite the consumer law again if they push back.

They’ll say: “Restaurant manager offers a free side or voucher instead of refunding to card”
You say: Politely decline the voucher and ask for the refund to the original payment method — under UK Consumer Rights Act 2015 food that's not of satisfactory quality must be refunded in cash, not store credit.
They’ll say: “Support deflects you to Deliveroo because the order was delivered”
You say: Nando's terms confirm Nando's acts as agent and processes refunds; insist they handle it and quote the 10-working-day refund window from their own T&Cs.
They’ll say: “Complaint dismissed as 'miscommunication' after head-office review (per Trustpilot pattern)”
You say: Escalate in writing to customers@nandos.co.uk with a complaint reference, photos, and a clear remedy ask. If still refused, raise a chargeback with your card issuer (Section 75 covers credit-card purchases over £100, including split bills).
They’ll say: “Being told unused Chillies can't be moved when you delete your account”
You say: Redeem any in-window Rewards before you hit delete — they expire 12 months after issue anyway, and deletion forfeits them instantly.

Your rights when cancelling

Consumer law varies by where you live. The strongest hook for your country is the one to lead with when you contact the company — pick the one that applies and quote it in your email.

United States

FTC Click-to-Cancel Rule (2024+)
Cancel must be as easy as sign-up.
The Federal Trade Commission’s Click-to-Cancel rule requires Nando's to make cancelling at least as simple as signing up — same channel, same number of clicks. If they buried the cancel button or forced a phone call, they’re in violation; report to reportfraud.ftc.gov.
California ARL (auto-renewal law)
Renewal must be cancellable online.
California Business & Professions Code §17602 forces any company billing California residents on auto-renewal to provide an online cancel mechanism. Lawsuits have been won on this; companies often refund quickly when it’s cited.
Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act (ROSCA)
Negative-option billing must be clearly disclosed.
Federal law (15 U.S.C. §8401) requires Nando's to clearly disclose any negative-option / auto-renewal terms before charging. Buried terms = potential federal violation. Report to the FTC alongside any FTC complaint.

United Kingdom

Consumer Rights Act 2015
Services must be as described.
If Nando's’s service was misrepresented or didn’t deliver what was promised, you have a statutory right to remedy (repair, refund, or price reduction) regardless of their terms.

European Union

Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU
14-day right of withdrawal across all EU states.
EU-wide statutory right to withdraw from any distance-sold contract within 14 days. Mirrored into local law in every member state. Nando's must honour it regardless of where they’re headquartered.
Digital Content Directive (EU) 2019/770
Refund rights for digital content failures.
Specific to digital subscriptions — gives you the right to a price reduction or contract termination when Nando's’s digital service is not as advertised, with no time limit beyond the contract period.

Worldwide

Card-issuer chargeback
Your bank can reverse the charge.
Visa, Mastercard, and Amex all run chargeback schemes — “goods/services not as described” or “subscription not cancelled” are valid reason codes everywhere they operate. Your bank handles the dispute; Nando's has ~45 days to defend.
