Nando’s has launched a new spring menu and there’s a lot more on offer than peri-peri chicken.
The brand new menu, set to launch on Tuesday May 17, introduces a new range of healthy food choices, drinks and even a dessert.
The new menu items include Nando’s Fino Platter, a sharing platter for two, which features a whole peri-peri spatchcock chicken served on a tray with sweet potato wedges, coleslaw and a supergrain side.
The platter, which includes a side of chargrilled vegetables and peri-buttered corn, costs £23.95.
The spring menu also features a supergrain salad with ingredients including grains, greens and beans and trendy healthy food like edamame, quinoa, kale, avocado and an avocado buttermilk dressing.
Before the introduction of the supergrain salad, vegetarians had to make special requests for dishes which were not featured on the menu.
The salad comes with the option of chicken on top for an added cost.
Nando’s has introduced a peri-peri pomegranate dressing, which it describes as a sweet and tangy blend with a hint of chilli.
Other new menu items include salted caramel and peri-peri chocolate brownies for £2.45.
Nando’s has reimaged sangria as a Vinho Spritzer made with either white, rose or red wine at £9.95 a carafe.
Nando’s has become one of the most popular fast-food restaurants in the world with a celebrity following including Kanye West, Robert Pattinson and Ed Sheeran. It has more than 1000 restaurants across 23 countries.
But it was recently criticised for serving meals which contained more calories and sugar than food at KFC.
The Tricks of the Restaurant Trade programme, which aired on Channel 4 in January, has revealed that a KFC Toasted Twister wrap contains 480 calories and 4.7g of sugar, compared with 594 calories and 16.2g sugar in the Nando’s chicken wrap.
“All our chicken is British, meets Red Tractor standards, and is grilled, never fried. Nutritional information for all our meals can be found on our website,” Nando’s said at the time.
