Nando's reveals menu shake-up with three new additions
Customers had the chance to enter their recipe idea or vote for an old sauce from May 13 until June 17 by heading to the website or scanning the QR code on the in-restaurant menu. The public crowned Garlic BBQ the winner, and Nando's have now introduced the winner on the Peri-ometer in all UK and Ireland restaurants for the summer.
Garlic BBQ received thousands of votes, with diners keen to taste the smoky sauce once again. Close runners up included Mango & Lime in second place followed by Smoky Churrasco in third. At the same time, the restaurant has also introduced a new item, the Super Caesar Wrap, which includes Caesar salad, pulled chicken, croutons, lettuce, pickles, and dressing.
There's also a new addition for young visitors, with Nando's now offering a new and improved Nandino Burger with grilled chicken. It comes after Nando's revealed one of its secret menu orders - and made it a permanent feature for all to access. The Peri-Peri chicken restaurant unveiled a new way for UK fans to devour its famous wings, which was, up until now, a secret item.
The latest offering, Extra Saucy Wings, is cooked with Peri-Flamer, a sauce that was previously only available to those who knew to ask for it. Peri-Flamer offers sweet, smoky, and spicy flavors, and according to Nando's, the sauce has built up a cult-following in recent years, despite not being listed on the menu. The restaurant chain, which hails from South Africa, has now introduced Extra Saucy Wings on the menu, allowing fans to enjoy the new Peri-Flamer addition.
Customers can order three, five, or ten, flame-grilled chicken wings covered in the new sauce and finished off with a drizzle of creamy yogurt dressing. Nando's are also giving customers the chance to claim Extra Saucy Wings for free on Nando's Rewards. Extra Saucy Wings launched in all UK and Ireland stores earlier this year, and are available for dining in, collection, and delivery.
Nando's answered the prayers of their diehard fans just a few months before with the return of a much-loved sauce . A trip to the Peri-Peri chicken restaurant isn't complete without lashings of its famous sauce. But for the past five years, Nando's aficionados have complained that their favourite creamy option isn't available. However, the chain revealed that from 4 February, locations in the UK and Ireland relaunched the Creamy Salad Dressing.
The rich and garlicky sauce is said to be a match with most items on the menu, including Peri-Salted chips and spicy rice. The change comes after Nando's faced backlash for removing the sauce from restaurants in 2021, with upset fans protesting the decision - and even making a Change.org petition to bring it back . Nando's is well known for its Peri-Peri chicken and sauces with varying spice levels, which range from Lemon & Herb, Medium, Hot, and Extra Hot, plus others. The chain previously brought back guest spices like Mango & Lime for a limited time, but the return of Creamy Salad Dressing is a permanent change.
It comes after Bukayo Saka brought his ferocity and flair from football into the kitchen - by launching his very own Nando's sauce. The Arsenal star teamed up with the restaurant chain to produce the 'Peri-Peri Saka Sauce' with his most-loved flavors in March last year. The 23-year-old opted for smoky BBQ and tomato alongside the restaurant's Peri-Peri sauce. Accessible but daring with a medium heat, it is also packed with garlic and smoked paprika. Saka said: 'The sauce mixes sweet, spiciness and smokiness. 'I love it and can't wait for everyone to try it. I've been going to Nando's since I was little so to have my own Peri-Peri sauce in every restaurant in the country is quite mad!
'My family's really important to me so I wanted to make sure they liked it, too. As soon as my Dad said he was a fan, I knew it was the one.' It was available in every restaurant around the UK and Ireland for a limited period of time. A brief film produced by Nando's showed the 23-year-old helping out in the kitchen as chefs concocted his dream sauce. The winger linked up with an Arsenal chef to put it all together, bringing the chemistry that is coursing through the Emirates into the kitchen. Even the bottle received unique attention. Reuben Dangoor, the man who designed the artwork wrapping around the Emirates Stadium, brought Saka's vision to life with a vibrant bottle.

Dejon and Meg break silence after Love Island axe and reveal plan to ‘prove everyone wrong'
DESPITE being the only pair in an official relationship, Love Island's Dejon Noel-Williams and Meg Moore found themselves brutally dumped at the end of last night's instalment. The former islanders returned to cast their votes about which couple was the least compatible between Dejon and Meg and Ty Isherwood and Angel Swift. 4 4 After receiving the most votes, the OG pair were forced to pack their bags and leave the villa – just a day before the all-important final. Now that they're out, the two have broken their silence and revealed their plan to 'prove everyone wrong'. When asked what was next for the pair, Meg, who recently sparked outrage, responded: 'Proving to everyone we are actually going to stay together! Spending time together and introducing one another to family and friends.' Dejon echoed these sentiments by adding: 'I definitely want to have a conversation with her family, get to know them and have her meet my family so they can see the real us. 'A lot of the Islanders saw how genuine we were and I have no doubt it will be like that with our families. 'After that hopefully we can move in together as I can't imagine not living with her.' Dejon and Meg, who hit the rocks this week, have been the subject of plenty of criticism from their fellow islanders and viewers alike, with many questioning if Dejon was playing a game. The two paired up from day one but found themselves at loggerheads due to Dejon's flirty antics with numerous bombshells. In last night's episode, Maya Jama returned to the villa and revealed one couple would be dumped from the island and the decision was in the hand of some familiar faces. One by one the ex-Islanders had their say, leaving the couples at risk less than impressed by their comments. Love Island OG's Meg and Dejon DUMPED by returning islanders After much back and forth, Meg and Dejon received 10 votes, while Angel and Ty received 8 votes. Fans were left elated at home as they flocked to X to share their excitement about Dejon and Meg leaving the ITV2 show. One viewer wrote: 'The timing for Megan and Dejon being dumped is so perfect.' Another person gushed: 'Finally Meg and Dejon are gone, I prayed for times like this! And that was such an epic way to dump them too, love a good revenge vote.' Somebody else expressed: 'Meg and Dejon finally off my screen and out of the villa! I love to see it.' A fourth commented: 'It's been a long time coming, thank you ex-islanders for getting rid of Meg and Dejon.' While a fifth added: 'Meg and Dejon being dumped makes me feel like I'm going to have a great week.' The savage dumping means there are four couples that are vying to win the series – Jamie and Yasmin, Cach and Toni, Harry and Shakira and Ty and Angel. Maya will return to the villa in Majorca one last time to reveal the outcome of the public's vote, with one pair being crowned champions of series 12 and walking away with £50,000. 4 4

John Torode's wife Lisa Faulkner reveals she is back to work filming after ITV stood by her husband following his BBC axing
Lisa Faulkner revealed she was on the way to film something first thing this morning as she got back to work following her husband's BBC axing scandal. Her husband John, 60, was fired from MasterChef after 20 years following an allegation of racism last month, after he revealed he was the subject of a claim that was upheld as part of an inquiry into his co-star Gregg Wallace. Following his unceremonious departure from the broadcaster it was revealed by the Daily Mail that ITV, where John also fronts TV shows, were backing him. While she did not confirm which show she was working on, Lisa shared a picture from the back of a car on Monday morning and said she was heading to work. Lisa Faulkner co-hosts the ITV show John & Lisa's Weekend Kitchen with her husband as well as working as a contributor on Lorraine. Sources at ITV recently told us that it will continue to broadcast the tenth series of John and Lisa's Weekend Kitchen rather than pulling it from the schedule. ITV are standing by under fire John Torode , despite his BBC axing from MasterChef following an allegation of racism The much-loved cookery show, which launched in 2019, features Lisa and John, 59, as they showcase their favourite recipes. An ITV source said: 'There is no change to the ITV schedule and John and Lisa's Weekends will be broadcast as usual and will continue to air for the next three weeks.' There are also plans for the broadcaster to welcome John back later in the year with John & Lisa's Christmas Kitchen in December. The Australian chef was dramatically axed from MasterChef - hours after the BBC's director general refused to back him over an allegation of racism. The corporation said the host's contract would not be renewed after a report found he had used an 'extremely offensive racist term' during drinks after filming the show. The complaint against John was revealed in the report into co-presenter Gregg Wallace's inappropriate behaviour. Gregg, 60, was sacked after dozens of complaints against him were upheld. John identified himself on Monday as an unnamed person in the report who was accused of using 'racist language'. However, the presenter said 'he had absolutely no recollection' of the incident and did 'not believe that it happened'. But in a statement yesterday, the BBC said: 'This allegation - which involves an extremely offensive racist term being used in the workplace - was investigated and substantiated by the independent investigation led by the law firm Lewis Silkin. 'The BBC takes this upheld finding extremely seriously. 'We will not tolerate racist language of any kind and we told Banijay UK, the makers of MasterChef, that action must be taken. John Torode's contract on MasterChef will not be renewed.' Hours before the announcement, BBC director general Tim Davie had refused to back John and said he expected 'action to be taken' over the allegation. He delivered the remarks as the BBC released its annual report - an occasion overshadowed by controversies for the second year in a row. Last year's was published amid the fallout over news presenter Huw Edwards who pleaded guilty to possessing indecent images of children. Asked about the Torode racism row, Tim Davie said: 'The BBC in some ways are quite simple on this - if someone is found to not live up to our values we expect the independent company, Banijay in this case, to take action and report back to us on what they have done. 'These are not BBC employees, but we absolutely expect action to be taken.' Tim added: 'I think a great programme that's loved by audiences is much bigger than individuals. 'It absolutely can survive and prosper, but we've got to make ing drinks sure we're in the right place in ness terms of the culture of the show.' It had been alleged by a source close to John that he had used an inappropriate racial term during drinks after filming. The witness claimed he had apologised immediately and 'was mortified' and he 'didn't use the term as a slur'. No one complained at the time but the incident was brought up during the inquiry into Gregg, they said. On Monday, John said he had 'absolutely no recollection' of the incident and was 'shocked and saddened' by the allegation. 'I would never wish to cause anyone offence,' he added. Responding to his sacking, John, who is married to actress and former Celebrity MasterChef contestant Lisa Faulkner, said: 'I'd hoped that I'd have some say in my exit from a show I've worked on since its relaunch in 2005, but events in the last few says seem to have prevented that.' He said he 'had loved every minute' working on the show but it was 'time to pass the cutlery to someone else'. 'Life is everchanging and ever moving and sometimes personal happiness and fulfilment lay elsewhere,' he added.
