A ten-year-old boy was kicked out of Nando’s while he was on a date with his girlfriend.

The poor boy had been trying to impress his gf with some Peri Peri chips and chicken wings at the Edinburgh branch when they were kicked out.

The young couple were said to be too young to eat alone at the restaurant and were promptly told to leave by waiters.

The boy’s sister saw the funny side however, sharing her brother’s disaster date on Twitter.


She wrote: ‘OMG I can’t! My wee brother is 10 years old and he took his wee ‘gf’ on a date to Nando’s and they didn’t let them sit in cause they had to be 13 so they made them eat a takeaway out side on a bench!! and he paid I cannnnntttttt.



‘Shame on Nando’s.’

The sister’s friends replied to the tweet, urging Nando’s to change their rules.

One person wrote: ‘Nando’s UK have a word’, while another wrote: ‘NAH I’m crying really tears what the hell.’

A spokesperson for Nando’s said they had to ask the boy to leave due to the alcohol license laws in place.

They said: ‘We know that nobody wants to go on a date with their parents in tow but unfortunately it’s a legal requirement of our alcohol license in Scotland that all under-13’s must be accompanied by an adult.

‘We hope that the date went well and we’re sorry if we cramped his style.’
