‘Bring it back’ cry Nando’s customers after the chain ditches iconic menu item in big shake-up

NANDO'S fans are calling for an iconic menu item to be brought back for good after it was axed from all of its restaurants.

The chain, which has 482 branches in the UK and Ireland, has revamped its menu, adding a host of new items for summer.

Among the new additions is the Fully Loaded Wrap, Spicy Rice Bowl and PERi-Chicken Gravy.

Nando's has also added A £3 bottomless soft swirl ice cream in all of its restaurants for the first time.

But to make way for the sweet treat, Nando's confirmed that it has axed its bottomless frozen yogurt from the menu.

The iconic desert has been a staple of the menu for years, with some describing it as their "favourite dish" on social media - and they aren't ready to let it go.

Writing on Instagram, one customer said: "I hate the soft serve, it's got a sour aftertaste. Weirdly, I loved the frozen yogurt."

Another wrote: "No thank you. Bring back frozen yogurt."

While some were mourning the loss of an old favourite, others expressed their excitement over the new bottomless soft swirl.

One user wrote: "Nando's has won my heart over their bottomless soft serve for their new summer menu."

Another said: "Wow, tempted to go back to Nando’s now."

And a third cried: "Whaaaat? Bottomless gelato? Nice!"

For £3, customers can get unlimited vanilla ice cream made with Jersey's cow milk in a waffle cone or a tub.

The ice cream has 215 calories per serving, compared with around 70 for the same amount of frozen yogurt.

It comes after Nando's sent fans into a frenzy by confirming that it was bringing bacfk peri-peri gravy for £1.75 a jug.

The chicken gravy first launched on a trial basis in 2018 and was last seen on menus in 2022.

Nando's added fully-loaded chips to menus UK-wide last June, posting the news in a cryptic video on X.

It also added two cocktails to menus which, of course, came with a classic Nando's twist.

How to save on eating out

Eating out can burn a hole in your budget, but there are a few tricks to get a meal for less.

Mystery diners can get a free meal in exchange for giving feedback on their experience.

There are a number of firms that recruit people to dine and review.

You need to sign up to one that will give you a location and a brief on what to asses on the visit.

Try Hgem, which works with restaurants including Dishoom, Flat Iron and Brewdog.

Normally, you pay for the food and then get reimbursed for your visit. Apply at mysterydining.net.

Service Scan works with fast food outlets as well as top-end gourmet establishments. See service-scan.com.

You can get cut-price food by sampling menus from trainee chefs.

Catering colleges often have restaurants with delicious meals that are whipped up by students.

They are usually only open in term time and you will have to dig around to find your nearest venue.

For example, The Stables Restaurant is part of Oaklands College in Hertfordshire.

Or you could try the Scholars Restaurant at City of Glasgow College.

During the holidays, numerous chains run kids-eat-free or cheap offers that cut the cost of going out as a family.
