NANDO’S has made a huge change to its sauces and fans say it’s a “sick upgrade”.
The home of Peri-Peri chicken is shaking up the way customers add their favourite sauces to their meals.

At the moment, customers have to grab each bottle of sauce from a designated counter and take it back to their table.
But Nando’s has started introducing sauce pumps at its restaurants, allowing fans to fill up a small tub of sauce to add to their chicken.
It looks pretty similar to a beer bump, but instead of dispensing booze, its filled with all your favourite Nanod’s sauces.
You can still chose from all the classics, including lemon and herb, wild herb and garlic, plus peri peri in mild, medium and hot.

Fans have taken to social media to share their excitement over the new sauce system, with one TikTok user calling it a “sick upgrade”.
Another Nando’s regular wrote “So glad because I always got embarrassed taking ten bottle to my table.”
And a third added: “Much better than those sticky bottles.”
At the moment, the pumps are only installed in four restaurants in and around London. They are as follows:

But Nando’s told The Sun it has plans to introduce the pumps at more restaurants in the future.
In the meantime, you will still be able to get your favourite sauces in bottles at all other branches of Nando’s.
The restaurant chain is no stranger to making changes at its restaurants.
In August, the restaurant chain added two new cocktails to its menu – the PERi-cante and the Sunset slushie.
It came after The Sun exclusively revealed that Nando’s has hiked the price on all of its bottomless soft drinks by 10p.
Bottomless Coke Zero, Diet Coke, Fanta Zero and Sprite Zero are all now priced at £3.50 compared to £3.40 before.
How else to save money at Nando’s
There are some nifty ways you can save money on your next visit to Nando’s.
If you’re a group that’s big enough, try buying a combined meal instead or ordering separately.
Research by moneysavingexpert.com found you can save up to £10 opting for platters rather than individual meals.
For example, if you’re ordering two whole chickens and five large sides, it’ll cost you £60.05 if you’re buying the items separately.
But if you go for the “Family Platter” instead, you’ll pay £49.95 – £10.10 less.
Meanwhile, if you’re a fan of Perinaise, you could save some cash by making your own.
A pot of the sauce costs £1.15 and is in essence just a mixture of mayonnaise and Peri Peri sauce.
But you can ask for a free portion of mayo at the counter and then stir in your Peri Peri sauce of choice from the condiments bar.
