Third Glasgow Nando's in just 24 hours forced to shut due to chicken shortage

A third Nando's in Glasgow has closed its doors temporarily amid a 'shortage of chicken'.

The branch at Braehead Shopping Centre is the third in Glasgow to close in just 24 hours.

The popular Peri-Peri chicken chain told Glasgow Live yesterday - Tuesday August 17 - that it is "experiencing disruption across its supply chain" due to staff shortages across the food industry.

The Portuguese inspired fast food restaurant - renowned for its chicken wraps, burgers and pittas - has had to close branches across the UK due to a shortage of deliveries.

Nando's has sent 70 staff to try and aid its suppliers, who are currently hit by a shortage of workers.

Nando's sites in both Glasgow's West End and at XSite Braehead are also closed.

It is unclear when the three branches in Glasgow will reopen.

A Nando's spokesperson told Glasgow Live yesterday: "Due to staff shortages, the UK food industry has been experiencing disruption across the supply chain and a number of our restaurants across England, Scotland and Wales have been impacted.

"From today, Nando’s will be lending some of our brilliant team members to support key suppliers and get things moving again. We hope this will have a positive impact on affected restaurants, so please bear with us as we do everything we can to get that PERi-PERi chicken back where it belongs – on your plates.

"We will still be open for Eat-in and Collect in the UK, just check your local restaurant page to make sure it’s open before you visit."
