A chicken restaurant has closed for a refurbishment.

Nando’s in Earl Street, Maidstone, is temporarily shut whilst the work takes place.

The South African chain specialises in Portuguese flame-grilled peri-peri-style chicken.

Nando’s has more than 1,200 outlets across 30 countries.

On Google, it lists the branch as “temporarily closed” and its website says it has “closed to do some DIY”.

The next nearest is at South Aylesford Retail Park and Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre.

A Nando’s spokesperson said: “We’re currently having some minor works completed and are looking forward to reopening next week.”

KentOnline has asked what type of renovations are being carried out.
