Nando's, the popular high street restaurant chain, has announced a major refresh to its menu for the summer season, effective from today across all its UK and Ireland locations. The most anticipated change sees the return of the 'Butterfly Burger', a dish that has garnered a significant following among its customers since its previous availability. This comeback is part of an eight-item menu expansion designed to offer new and exciting options for diners.
The Butterfly Burger, priced at approximately £9.25 for the burger alone, features a flame-grilled butterfly-cut chicken breast served in a Portuguese roll with lettuce, tomato, and Peri-Peri mayonnaise. Its return has been met with enthusiasm across social media platforms, with many customers expressing their delight at the reintroduction of what they consider a classic Nando's item.
Beyond the burger, the summer menu introduces a range of other additions. These include the new Caesar Salad (£8.25), offering a lighter option with chicken, croutons, and a creamy dressing. For those looking for a more indulgent side, the Fully Loaded Chips (£4.50) have been added, topped with Peri-Peri sauce and various seasonings. A limited-edition Peri-Peri sauce, called 'Smoky Chili Jam', is also available for a short period, priced at £1.25 for a dip pot.
Sweet tooths are catered for with a new dessert option: the Donut with a dip (£3.75). This allows customers to choose from a variety of sauces to accompany their donut. These new items aim to provide a broader selection for Nando's patrons, complementing their existing range of Peri-Peri chicken dishes and sides. The company often refreshes its menu to keep offerings current and respond to customer feedback.
The introduction of these items reflects a common strategy among restaurant chains to revitalise their appeal, particularly as consumers seek new experiences and value during the summer months. While Nando's has not specified an end date for these new additions, limited-edition items and seasonal offerings are typically available for a defined period, subject to popularity and stock.
Consumers should note that prices may vary slightly by location, and it's always advisable to check the menu at their local Nando's. Under UK consumer law, customers are entitled to clear pricing and accurate descriptions of food items, which Nando's, as a reputable establishment, adheres to. Availability is nationwide across the UK and Ireland from today.
