Nando’s teases new menu item set to arrive next week - and fans are excited

Nando's will be launching a new menu item next week across all restaurants in the UK - and fans only have a few days to wait until launch day.

For years people have been calling on Nando's to stick something very particular on their menu and now their prayers seem to have been answered.

The peri-peri chicken chain shared the announcement in a cryptic video across its social media and asked followers to solve the riddle.

The video shows a "loading" message alongside images of three chillies which then reveal a close-up glimpse of the new item.

The caption of the post read: "F_ _ l _ L _ _ _ ed C _ _"

From this, we can make an educated guess that the new menu item will be Fully Loaded Chips.

People in the comments were very quick to guess the new item with many also taking speculating that Fully Loaded Chips were to join its menu.

Nando's has not yet confirmed what the actual item is - but it will be available across all Nando's sites from June 6 - so Tuesday next week.

If it is fully loaded chips - then it is not hard to guess what the dish will entail.

Fully loaded chips tend to come with some kind of meat and cheese coating along with a plethora of other bits on top like crispy onions, or bacon.

Nando's snapshot image shows what appears to be chips, and some spring onion and with this being Nando's, you could probably expect a gastronomical concoction of spicy sauce loaded atop it.

As of writing, Nando's has not confirmed what will be in the new dish and what the price of it will be.

Many used the announcement to call on Nando's to bring back some favourites with a popular suggestion being the Red Pepper Dip.

In a response to the cryptic post, one Twitter user said: "That doesn't spell RED PEPPER DIP though does it?!?".

Another said: "Weird way of spelling “Red Pepper Dip Is Back” whilst another added: "R_E_D P_E_P_P_E_R D_I_P".

Other Nando's fans called for the Ceasar salad to make a return.

One fan said: "Just bring back the Caesar salad!"

Another doubled down saying: "That's great but when is the Caesar salad coming back?"

Just this week, the peri peri chain made a joke of this trend and tweeted: "It’s always “bring back the ___” and never “hello, how are you?”
