One of Watford’s Nando’s cooks is a finalist in a search to find the chain’s best griller.
Kieran Penhallow is a griller at Nando’s Watford High Street and could be named the best in the company if he triumphs in the Nando’s Grillers’ Challenge 2024.
The international competition takes place every year to celebrate and test Nando’s most skilled employees on their technical skill, passion, and knowledge.
- Does Watford have Nando's best griller in the world?
- Nando's plans approved - Woodside location to open in 2024
- Nando's and Cassiobury Park café among Watford public notices
UK and Ireland operations director Garry Duncan said: “Congratulations to Kieran and the other UK and Ireland finalists.
“Reaching this final is a huge achievement and something to be very proud of. The skill level and passion shown from all our competitors has been incredible.”
Every country that has a Nando’s branch is holding its own competition before sending winners to travel to the international final in Botswana later this year.
The six UK and Ireland finalists have already faced heats across 480 restaurants, 30 quarter-final heats, and six semi-finals to reach the final stage, which will be held in Birmingham on July 2.
Bishnu Ghimire from the same Watford location made the UK and Ireland final in last year’s competition, which was ultimately won by a griller from Dudley.
