Nando's Menu

Nando's quietly added a weekday lunch section to the menu called The Lunch Fix, available from 10am to 3pm. It's a smaller, faster format with three options: The Big Caesar (649 kcal), the Sol Bowl built on legendary Spicy Rice with Charred Corn and Coleslaw, and the Hearty Bowl made with warm mixed grains and Rainbow Slaw. All three let you add protein (pulled chicken, wings, halloumi sticks or PERi-Plant Strips) so it's not just a salad situation. Good value, not widely advertised.

The starters section runs a "Dare to Share" deal where you pick any three from the list. Right now that includes Halloumi Sticks with either Chilli Jam or PERi-Honey (both serve 2), Houmous with PERi-PERi Drizzle served with warm pitta triangles, Sweet Potato Wedges with Garlic PERinaise, Cheesy Garlic Pitta with melted cheddar and spring onions, Spicy Mixed Olives, and PERi-PERi Nuts loaded with almonds, cashews and macadamia. Worth noting: 10p from every Sweet Potato Wedges plate goes toward fighting malaria in Southern Africa.

This is the section the whole restaurant is built around. Every cut is marinated in PERi-PERi and flame-grilled to order, then finished in whichever spice level you choose. Your options on the current Nando's menu are the Quarter Chicken (breast or leg, 289 kcal), Half Chicken (breast and leg on the bone, 579 kcal), Whole Chicken (serves 2-3, 1159 kcal), Chicken Butterfly (two breasts, 332 kcal), and 4 Boneless Chicken Thighs (706 kcal). Wings come in threes, fives and tens, plus the Wing Roulette where 10 wings arrive in different random spice levels, making it genuinely unpredictable.

The Nando's menu carries five burgers right now. The Butterfly Burger is two chicken breasts with PERi-Tomato relish and their new PERi-House Sauce in a rustic Portuguese roll. The Sunset Burger uses two thighs or a breast with cheddar, red pepper chutney and Lemon & Herb mayo, described on the site as "messy." The Garlic Churrasco Burger is served in a Garlic Bread bun with Churrasco PERinaise and pickled onions. If you're in Scotland, The Robbo is a limited-time Butterfly in a Garlic Bread bun with cheddar and PERi-House Sauce. Wraps and pittas carry the same chicken options in single or double portions.

Three options sit in this section. The Spicy Rice Bowl (600 kcal) is plant-based, featuring legendary Spicy Rice with Tenderstem broccoli, Rainbow Slaw, pickled cauliflower and houmous with PERi-PERi seeds. The Mediterranean Salad (360 kcal) brings feta, semi-dried tomatoes, olives, cucumber and pickled onions dressed in Rozendal vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. The Caesar Salad (473 kcal) is crunchy cos lettuce with creamy dressing, Italian hard cheese and herby croutons. All three work with added protein from the Extras section.

Five platters are currently listed. The Full Platter is a Whole Chicken with two large or four regular sides (a meal for two). The Boneless Platter pairs a Chicken Butterfly with 4 Boneless Thighs and sides. The All-in Platter adds two bottomless soft drinks to the Whole Chicken and sides deal. The Family Platter goes big with two Whole Chickens and five large sides, serving four to six. The XL Wing Platter brings 15 Chicken Wings with two large or four regular sides. All platters let you mix spice levels across the chicken.

The Nando's veggie menu has four distinct items in 2026. The Big Cheese is a halloumi burger with red pepper and pineapple salsa, avocado and Churrasco PERinaise in a Portuguese roll. The Great Imitator Wrap is brand new and uses their new PERi-Plant Fillet, grilled in your chosen spice, and Nando's flags that allergens have changed on this one so worth checking. Then there are three Beanie variations: the Beanie Burger, Beanie Wrap and Beanie Pitta, all built on the same patty of chickpeas, sweetcorn, lentils, peas, pumpkin seeds and cheddar cheese.

The Nandinos menu is for kids under 10 and follows a set structure: pick a main, pick a flavour, pick two sides, then choose a dessert or drink. Mains are Nandino Burger, Chicken Breast, Mac & Cheese, 3 Chicken Wings and Little Pitta. Nando's specifically recommends PERi-Tamer for kids who aren't sure what spice to pick, as it's sweet, BBQ-style and has barely any heat. Sides for kids include Chips, Corn on the Cob, Cucumber Sticks and Spicy Rice. Dessert is the Bottomless Soft Swirl Tub, a vanilla ice cream made with Jersey cow's milk that gets unlimited refills.

Sides are where regular Nando's customers have opinions. The current list includes PERi-Salted Chips, plain Chips, Spicy Rice, Coleslaw, Rainbow Slaw, Corn on the Cob (with butter), Creamy Mash, Garlic Bread, PERi-Mac & Cheese (with a crunchy garlicky PERi crumb), Hearty Grains, Tenderstem Broccoli in garlic and lemon oil, Macho Peas with mint and chilli, Portuguese Tomato Salad, and Charred Corn in a creamy garlicky sauce. The newest addition is Rostinas, which are crunchy potatoes with smoked paprika, Garlic Aioli and PERi-PERi Drizzle on the side. The Fully Loaded Chips (sharing side) tops PERi-Salted Chips with pulled chicken, cheddar, spring onions and PERi-Tamer sauce.

The Dips and Extras section is where you customise. PERinaise is Nando's mayo made with egg and celery, and the website adds "(Please double check the allergens as our PERinaise bottles have slightly different ingredients)" which is an honest flag. Garlic PERinaise is plant-based with no listed allergens. Other extras include Grilled Halloumi Cheese, 2 Boneless Chicken Thighs, a Grilled Chicken Breast, Cheddar Cheese, Grilled Pineapple, half an Avocado, PERi-PERi Drizzle (a smoky spiced oil), Beanie Patty, the new PERi-Plant Fillet, and PERi-Chicken Gravy. The Herby Pickle Bowl at 33 kcal is plant-based and criminally overlooked.

Dessert options are simple but good: the classic Pastel de Nata custard tart (dusted with cinnamon at just 224 kcal), a rich Choc-a-Lot Cake served with vanilla ice cream, and the bottomless vanilla Soft Swirl made from Jersey cow's milk. The tarts are baked fresh, the cake is rich and indulgent, and the soft serve comes with unlimited refills. It's a sweet ending that keeps things simple without overcomplicating the menu.

Soft drinks at Nando's are bottomless, offering unlimited refills throughout your entire meal. The range covers Pepsi, Pepsi Max, 7UP Free, Tango Orange, Robinsons, still or sparkling water, and Bottomless Lemonade. For alcohol, Nando's serves bottled and draft lager, cider, and a concise wine list. Hot drinks include coffee, tea, and hot chocolate, making it a list that covers every table comfortably.

Bring the legendary Nando's flavor to your kitchen. The Cook at Home range features official retail products including the famous PERi-PERi drizzle sauces, creamy PERinaise bottles, dry spice rubs, and liquid marinades. Perfect for replicating flame-grilled magic on chicken, veggies, and home-cooked meals.
