THE city's only Nando's restaurant has closed for refurbishment.

A message on the front of the eatery, in Friar Street, Worcester, said the branch will reopen soon and directed customers to the nearest Nando's in Hereford.

A statement on the Nando's Facebook page says: "From the 16th July we are shutting for a refurbishment.

"We know this is upsetting for many but don’t panic, we will be back soon with a brand new, shiny restaurant! Look out for further updates on our page!

"For those who can’t wait this long for their Peri-Peri fix, Hereford, Cheltenham and Redditch are only a short hop away!"

Nando's has been approached for a comment.
