Two Glasgow Nando's forced to close over food shortages

A number of Nando's restaurants across the UK have been forced to shut up shop temporarily due to a lack of food amid a shortage of deliveries - including two in Glasgow.

The Portuguese inspired chicken chain has sent 70 staff to try and aid its suppliers, who are currently hit by a shortage of workers.

The result has been some branches of the chain, which also sells macho peas, mash, fries and more, being forced to shut.

Nando's PR confirmed to Glasgow Live this afternoon that two sites in the city have been forced to suspend trading as part of the closures - Glasgow XSITE and Glasgow West End.

It is unclear when the two branches will reopen.

A Nando's spokesperson said: "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."

How to check if your Nando's is open

If you want to check if your local Nando's is open, you can look it up on the restaurant's website .

If the branch you're interested in has opening hours listed, it's open - if not then it's shut.
