Customers can sign up for the Nando’s rewards card, which allows you to earn points, or chillies, which turn into “free peri-peri”.
And a select few can bag an even bigger bargain, for a limited time.
You can get a free quarter chicken or a starter – but you’ll need to be a student to be eligible.
The freebie is worth £4.75 – the price of a quarter chicken.
Or you could could chose to get starter of halloumi sticks and dip, humous with Peri drizzle or sweet potato wedges for £4.25
Diners will need to prove they are a student who has just received the results of their A-Levels, GCSEs or equivalents (BTEC, Scotland Highers, or National 5’s).
To get the discount, you will need to visit a Nando’s restaurant, either to eat-in or walk-in collect for takeaway, and spend over £7 on food.
