Nando’s popular chicken dishes cost 8% more after Covid challenges - see full menu changes

Nando’s has increased the prices of some of its most popular chicken dishes by up to 8%.

More than 10 menu items are now more expensive, with 55p added to the cost of a whole chicken and 70p to the price of a half chicken and two sides.

The chicken chain said its price rises come follow the “most challenging year” in its history due to the Covid pandemic.

Why has Nando’s increased its prices?

Many of its restaurants were forced to close for months at a time due to lockdown measures, which caused huge losses for the chain.

In 2020 Nando’s was hit with a £99n million loss because of ongoing restrictions.

A spokesman told The Sun the price increases are due to “the continued rise in the cost of ingredients and the difficult trading environment caused by Covid”.
