Nando’s has quietly hiked the prices of some of its most popular chicken dishes by up to 8%.
Some of the price increases include 55p added to the cost of a whole chicken, while a half chicken and two sides has gone up by 70p.
The cost of ten chicken wings with two sides has risen to £15.45 from £14.95, and a houmous with peri-peri drizzle has gone up from £3.95 to £4.25.
Nando’s said the increases come after it suffered “the most challenging year” in its history following the Covid pandemic.
The chicken chain suffered a £242million pre-tax loss in the year to February 2021 after its restaurants were forced to close for months at a time due to lockdown measures.
The previous year saw Nando’s hit with a £99million loss.
Nando’s is reported to have introduced the new prices over the last few months.
A spokesman told The Sun it was down to “the continued rise in the cost of ingredients and the difficult trading environment caused by Covid”.
