Nando's has revealed the opening date for its newest branch.

Signs for the restaurant in London Road, Brighton, first appeared back in March.

Now posters on the window saying the restaurant will be “opening soon” have been removed and the storefront looks ready to welcome customers.

The branch is part of a complex of new shops beneath a student accommodation block.

It is next to the new pudding restaurant, Heavenly Desserts, which opened in February, and a new Starbucks also opened nearby in March.

The latest Nando's will be the fourth in the city - the others are in Duke Street in Brighton, Brighton Marina and the Goldstone Retail Park in Hove.

The chain, which specialises in flame-grilled peri-peri style chicken, was founded in South Africa in 1987 and now has more than 1,200 outlets in 30 countries.

A spokeswoman for Nando's said: "We are excited to announce that we are coming to London Road, Brighton."

"Bringing all the peri-peri heat, we will be opening in soon."

The website for the London Road branch says "spice incoming" and reveals the opening date is June 12.
