Nando's has announced the launch of brand new food additions.
The restaurant has added its first ever plant-based meat alternative, called the Great Imitator, to menus, as well as a new side and a delicious dip.
The menu shake-up could be the chain's most exciting yet with the introduction of the Great Imitator.
Nando's has created the meat alternative to taste, look and smell just like its famous PERi-PERi chicken breast fillet.
According to Manchester Evening News it's made with PERi-PERi-infused Pea Protein, and is part of the restaurant chain's focus on positive change and sustainability drive across the business.
Director of Vegan Corporate Projects, PETA, Dawn Carr, said: "PETA is delighted to have played a part in Nando's journey to putting this delicious plant-based chicken on the table.
"Nando's can't guarantee zero risk of cross-contamination, so it's not calling it vegan, but as all the ingredients in the burger and pitta versions are completely animal-free – right down to the mayo – we say these are an excellent choice for vegans, vegetarians, meat-reducers, and chickens. Cluck yes!"
Also landing on the menu this week is the Sweet Potato Wedges with Garlic PERinaise, which is now available as a condiment, along with PERi BBQ for fans of PERi Tamer.
It comes as McDonald's also added autumnal offerings to its menu this week.
Customers can now choose from six new items, including the Spicy Quarter Pounder with Cheese which some customers have complained is too hot to handle.
