Nandos adds 6 items to new menu – but people are gobsmacked over the price
From next week, Nando's fans can get their hands on new menu items, including a burger and a tropical drink, and vote on a new sauce. However, not everyone is happy about the price of the new items
Nando's has dropped a fresh menu and six new options ahead of summer - but some Peri Peri chicken fans have been left complaining about the price. From Tuesday May 13, food fans will be able to get their hands on the treats, plus vote on a new sauce.
There is nothing like treating yourself when you have been super busy, or hanging out with friends or loved ones. Many people opt for Nando's - either eating in the restaurant, or ordering for a takeaway. The Nando's team are always changing up the menu. Back in March, the chicken chain has announced its new Extra Saucy Wings, which are made with its PERI-Flamer "secret" sauce.
Switching things up again, from next week fans can try a new burger made with grilled halloumi, red pepper and pineapple salsa, sliced avocado and Churrasco PERinaise - called The Big Cheese. It is served in a soft rustic Portuguese roll, made with Wildfarmed regenerative flour.
Serious halloumi fans will also love Halloumi Sticks with new dip, PERi-Honey. Nando's said: "It's the sweet wave you've been waiting for. Once you've tried it, you'll want it on everything." It is said to be good to pour on PERi-PERi chicken and drizzle on salad or chips.
New sides are joining the menu, including Summer Grains, mixed grains with green chickpeas and dried apricots in lemon and oil, drizzled with a creamy yoghurt dressing. Also joining the sides list is Charred Corn, smoky sweetcorn in a creamy, garlicky sauce topped with fresh spring onions and PERi-Salt.
Plus a new summer drink is being introduced, called the Tropical Quencher, for the "ultimate summer slurp".
From Smoky Churrasco and Garlic BBQ to most recently, Nando's x Fanta - Nando's is all about mixing up classic flavours or trying something totally new. And now, fans can vote on a new sauce until June 17. You can pitch a new flavour by using the QR code on the in-restaurant menu or heading to the Nando's menu.
After some food content creators shared their excitement about the announcement on social media, fans rushed to share their opinions. As @tripleeatsfood spoke about the new products, one individual said: "This sounds so awesome love Nando's."
Another TikToker @foodswithhasb also shared a video, which people reacted to. One individual said: "The peri honey is amazing. Haven't tried the burger yet."
Another added: "The new menu looks amazing! Can't wait to try some of these dishes." "The charred corn is so good," insisted one other.
While one other observed: "That Big Cheese burger looks so good minus the avocado."
However, others weren't as enthused about the new menu as they said it would 'put prices up'. One person speculated: "Prices going up again." While another added: This just means they're jacking up the prices again." A third chimed in: "But the price..."
Price list of new menu
Halloumi Sticks & Dip with PERi-Honey (serves 2) - £4.95
The Big Cheese - £9.25 / £15.50
Charred Corn - £5
Summer Grains - £4.25
PERi-Honey - £1.25
Tropical Quencher - £4.25.

‘Defending my spot' – Oban Elliott driven by fear of return to life before Dana White issued UFC deal ahead of Baku bout
The Welshman has gone a perfect 3-0 inside the octagon GANGSTER'S PARADISE 'Defending my spot' – Oban Elliott driven by fear of return to life before Dana White issued UFC deal ahead of Baku bout Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) OBAN ELLIOT may have established himself as a mainstay in the UFC, but the Welsh welterweight is refusing to rest on his laurels. 2024 was a year to remember for the pride of Wales, who fulfilled his lifelong dream of competing in the promised land of mixed martial arts. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 8 Life has been plain sailing for Welshman Oban Elliott since he won a UFC contract on the Contenders Series Credit: GETTY 8 The 27-year-old made his octagon bow last February and has been on a tear Credit: GETTY 8 The Welshman went a perfect 3-0 in the space of nine busy months Credit: GETTY 8 But he's refusing to rest on his laurels as he fears returning to the life he lived before making it to the big show Credit: GETTY And he entered the promotion with a bang, going a perfect 3-0 in just under nine life-changing months. Elliott, who is poised to make an assault on the top 15 this year, has come a long way from working night shift on the railways in Merthyr Tydfil and cleaning the grill at Nando's to pay the bills and supplement his training. His feet may be firmly in the UFC door, but the fear of one day having to return to the life he worked so hard to escape is as much his driving force as winning a world title. In an exclusive interview with SunSport, 'The Welsh Gangster' said: "I'm just so glad it worked out, man. I'm so glad. "And just for me, it just meant that much more, you know? To get here and do it. I didn't care for anything else, I didn't. "There was nothing else that interested me in life. And that's probably dark when you look like that, but it worked out. "When I got that UFC contract is when I relaxed and when I could smile without something in the back of my head saying, 'Yeah, but you're not there yet.' "And now I'm like, 'No, I'm here. I'm home. And just the fact that it all worked out, thank f***ing God. It just meant that much to me." JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS 8 Oban Elliott scored the biggest win of his career against Bassil Hafez at UFC 309 last November Credit: GETTY 8 The stunning stoppage at MSG is one of the proudest moments of Elliott's life to date Credit: GETTY The memory of working on the railways and at Nando's is still fresh for Elliott, who believes he already has a belt adorned on him as a result of all the blood, sweat and tears he's shed trying to achieve his dream. "To be settled in and to be living this life now, it's a new challenge in itself," Elliott candidly admitted. "Because now I just think about defending it." Brit UFC star Oban Elliot explains how working nightshift on railway tracks fortified his mindset He continued: "I'm just thinking about defending my spot. There's a belt over my shoulder and I'm defending my belt every fight. "Every training session, I'm defending my belt and that is it. "And maybe somewhere along the line, Dana is gonna wrap another one around me. But I will always have my one. "That's the way I see all of this. So it's just a case of defending this spot and defending this life that I now live." The highlight of Elliott's UFC career came at Madison Square Garden last November in the form of a beautifully set-up third-round knockout of Bassil Hafez. And that moment, which earned the 27-year-old a life-changing $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus, will likely only be topped when he becomes the undisputed king of the welterweights. "To get that knockout was just the best moment ever," Elliot said. "For me, everything that I wanted in life happened in that third round. "That little fake with my feet going outside of his right leg, throwing the shot and there he was, right in the middle of the Monster can. it's just a case of defending this spot and defending this life that I now live." Oban Elliot "And I look up. The cry was going nuts, the pose. 'Who's the man in New York City, brother?' "How lucky am I? That's how I feel. That is just unreal. Like, look at that. Jesus Christ, that happened to me. "I've heard people say, 'You work hard for this?' People work hard for things and they fall short of their dreams and it happens to people. "But in that moment, in the cage that night, all my hard work paid off. And I got that for the rest of my life. So I'm the proudest guy ever." Elliott's latest outing will take place this evening in a land far, far away from Merthyr Tydfil - Baku. Fellow Dana White's Contenders Series contract winner Seok-hyeon Ko stands between Elliott and a four-fight win streak. And if he notches it in similarly spectacular fashion as he did his last victory, it will put him on the precipice of tangling with the elite of the talent-rich 170lbs division. "This guy is a tough, tough man," Elliot said of the South Korean. " And he's coming to win. 8 Oban Elliott returns to the octagon on Saturday night for a showdown with South Korea's Seok-Hyeon Ko Credit: Getty 8 A win in the Baku bust-up will see Elliott move to a perfect 4-0 inside the octagon Credit: GETTY "And he is going to come to fight. Take the UFC out and take the nonsense out of all of it, this is a man versus a man who are going to fight to the death in the cage. "He has all my respect, all my attention and it's going to be a tough fight for both of us. "May we get out of their cage healthy, and the better man will win. "I think the better guy is me, so we'll see if I'm wrong." He added: "After this fight, [I want to get] two more [fights in] hopefully and keep my imaginary belt over my shoulder. "The belt that I had before I even put the gloves on - in my mind. "In my mind, I've been a champion long before any of this came to light in my life. "So I'm just [going to] keep defending my spot, keep making my family proud and keep doing my best. And if I'm doing that, I'm winning."

I went to Cannes Film Festival on a £30 daily budget — here's what happened
Cannes in May is a star-studded circus, stuffed to the gills with black-tie galas, red carpet premieres and yacht parties. The world-famous film festival is also the busiest two weeks of the year for a film journalist, rubbing elbows with celebrities but living a very different experience: lugging laptops across town, planning power naps and fretting over a rapidly dwindling bank balance. During the festival, working days often stretch longer than 16 hours — this is my third year in the trenches. I eat on the go, where and when I can. My priority is to catch as many screenings as possible during waking hours, but a close second is keeping costs low – around £30 per day – in a city known for glitz and glamour. Hollywood and the French Riviera are a decadent and elitist mix. This year's festival saw the likes of Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro, Dakota Johnson, Robert Pattinson, Denzel Washington, Rihanna, Leonardo DiCaprio and Paul Mescal roll in. I'm in a champagne city on a Fanta budget – but we do what we must. Fuel your wanderlust with our curated newsletter of travel deals, guides and inspiration. Sign up here. I start my journey on a sold-out easyJet flight from Gatwick to Nice, the closest major airport to Cannes. It goes without a hitch – we even arrive a little early. For the first time, the bus I need to catch for the remaining 33km perfectly syncs with my arrival. No chauffeured transfer for me – although working journalists do get a voucher covering the cost of this coach journey, so I'm not complaining. Once in Cannes, I travel almost everywhere on foot, except when I take the local bus to a cinema complex used for mop-up screenings – again, this is free for accredited press. We won't talk about what Uber or Bolt will charge you for the same journey if you misinterpret the timetable. The film festival largely takes place at the Palais des Festivals complex along the Cannes seafront, next to the harbour, where some 40,000 industry heads and press descend for two weeks each May. Tourist traps dot the strip, and often a panini from one of them is all I have time for. This sets me back €6.50 (£5.47), which isn't too offensive. However, if you go a few streets back from the Croisette, the bread is fresher, the ingredients are better quality, and the price is roughly the same. To keep costs down, I refuel with free beverages, including coffees and chilled soft drinks, available in the Palais. On several days, I pick up a free lunchtime Coke Zero from the journalists' rooftop terrace, even if I do have to make a special detour for it. When restaurants will easily charge you €5 (£4.21) for the same – and for mineral water when you definitely asked for tap – this and taking my bottle to the water fountains are my most reliable hacks. I had hoped to load up on the canapes served at parties, a tried-and-tested method for entertainment journalists trying to fit everything in on their beat (and also eat). This does not go to plan at one villa bash, where I grimace through some of the most flavourless food I've ever put in my mouth. So, well after midnight, I turn to the always-reliable, always-regrettable early morning fast food with friends. Even in Cannes. Parties do, however, always come through with free booze. However, on my first night, after a 4am start, I fork out for a glass of Taittinger at Italian Caffe on Bld Jean Hibert. Yes, this does fly in the face of 'budget', but it's also €10 (£8.42) a glass – something I've never seen in the UK, so we'll say it's a bargain if nothing else. And when I return to this restaurant towards the end of my stay, I downgrade to a glass of prosecco and save €4 (£3.37). For the majority of my trip to Cannes, I have access to a kitchenette in the studio where I stayed in Le Suquet, the old quarter and the far side of Cannes to the glitzy strip of luxury celebrity haunts like the Carlton Cannes and Hôtel Martinez. This means I can head to Aldi to pick up breakfast and snacks, like fruit, milk, cereal, crisps, to keep me going for the first few days. It is worth, unsurprisingly, also making room in your budget for bakeries in Cannes, specifically for pain au chocolat. They're not massively cheap at over €2 (£1.68), but they are worth it – plus, they're easy to scoff while standing in a queue for a screening. My final few nights are spent in an Ibis bang in the centre of Cannes, which is quiet and also serves a surprisingly varied breakfast buffet. The pastries included are bakery quality and set me up nicely to push through the final days of the festival. During the festival I have to accommodation hop, and meticulously plan the move within my tight schedule. Luckily, I can drop my luggage at the Ibis Cannes Centre before checking in. I reward myself with a €2.40 (£2.02) pain au chocolat on my way to the Palais for a press conference with Paul Mescal. After asking a question about his new film The History of Sound which goes viral, I plunge into work, only surfacing for lunch just before 4pm. This is one of those panini stand days, all I had time for, so another €7 (£5.89) down as I treat myself to a fancy ham with cheese and tomato. I still walk back to score my free canned drink, though. But here is where the wheels start to fall off. After heading back to the hotel, I find myself persuaded into a patisserie for an evening drink and éclair – powering up for some more work – ahead of dinner. This ends up happening after 10pm, and as I'm now in an unfamiliar part of Cannes, I just want somewhere open that looks good. That results in a €24 (£20.20) spaghetti alle vongole accompanied by an €8 (£6.73) glass of prosecco at Da Tina 33 Cannes. Total spend = €46.40 (£39.06). Regrets = zero. Cannes is never going to be a cheap destination. Its glamorous reputation precedes it, so my best advice is to spend that little bit of extra time walking further away from the Palais to seek out the best quality food and booze. Up Rue Saint-Antoine's cobblestones further into Le Suquet is a good place to start. More Trending A pizza from Tredici, for example, is worth stretching the budget for (from €14-32, £11.78-26.94) – and the best recommendations, from friends, are worth their weight in gold. Hotel costs soar during the festival – up to six times their usual price, I've noted – so if you're not interested in soaking up that cinematic atmosphere, steer clear and visit at another time of year. But if you want to revel in the A-list atmosphere, where anyone can walk past you (I accidentally almost collided with Harrison Ford and Phoebe Waller-Bridge one year), book early – pre-Christmas. And, of course, sniff out those €10 champagnes where you can. easyJet flies from London Gatwick to Nice up to seven days a week year- round, with prices starting from £34.99 pp (one-way, including taxes). Double rooms at ibis Cannes Centre start from £68 per night. Travellers booking now can enjoy 25% off stays with the Accor Summer Sale.

English beach bar that ‘feels like being in the Med' with Ibiza-style music nights
Plus, one of the UK's oldest beach bars to open new rooftop terrace in time for summer BEACH PLEASE English beach bar that 'feels like being in the Med' with Ibiza-style music nights Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A SERENE beach bar in Cornwall is said to 'feel like being in the Med' with some of the best sunsets in the country. The Rockpool in Gwithian, Cornwall is located just 300 metres from three miles of picturesque sand. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 The Rockpool is located in Gwithian, Cornwall Credit: Instagram 6 Gwithian Beach stretches three miles in total Credit: Alamy 6 The beach is a popular spot with surfers and families Credit: Alamy Serving up a range of different dishes from restaurant Lula, The Rockpool sits just off of Gwithian Beach, which is known for its vibrant sunsets and seals. One person who visited The Rockpool said: "Food, drink, atmosphere, music and staff were immense. "Thought I was in the Med momentarily! Really recommend, the prawn skewers were superb. Will definitely be going back…" The venue also hosts "Ibiza style sundowner sessions", according to it's Instagram - with acoustic, jazz and band music each Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evenings and all day on a Sunday, all summer. Many visitors note how the restaurant is the ideal spot for watching the sun set on the horizon. A visitor said: "I sat outside and had an amazing view of the sunset. Will definitely be back here. "Had some live music as well which is always a bonus. Definitely a cool chilled out place that is kid friendly." Popular dishes include the restaurants "roast on the coast" which has previously included slow-cooked harissa lamb, Peri Peri chicken, Cauliflower and leek gratin. On Lula's website, the menu is described as "a fresh fusion of Cornish, New Orleans creole and Floridian crab shack spice". There is also a range of different breakfast options and many dishes suitable for veggies and vegans. UK beach named one of the top 100 in the world On Gwithian Beach itself, there is golden sand and a consistent swell great for surfers and kite surfers. Surfers particularly enjoy the nearby 'Sheep Dips' - a large pool formed between two big rocks, that is quite deep in the middle. For little ones, there are also plenty of exploring opportunities with rock pools, dunes and dramatic cliffs. Lifeguards are on duty at the beach during peak season and there are a number of car parks, other cafes and amenities. Additionally, the beach is dog-friendly year round - as is The Rockpool. Off of the beach and 300 yards into the sea is Godrevy Island - which is home to a lighthouse that dates back to 1859. The parish town of Hayle is also a short 10-minute drive away, or if you are feeling adventurous, takes just over an hour to walk to from Gwithian. A top Haven holiday park with a seaside bar that 'feels like Ibiza' is also on one of UK's best beaches. Plus, one of the UK's oldest beach bars to open new rooftop terrace in time for summer. 6 The restaurant serves up a 'roast on the coast' Credit: Instagram 6 There is also live music at the venue Credit: Instagram
