The meal now costs £11.20, up from £8.25 in August 2021.

Nando’s pushed the price up in January 2022 to £8.75, in January 2023 to £9.95 and again last August to £10.50.

Regular diners are peri peri angry at the hikes.

One posted online: “The prices have sky-rocketed and portions have gotten smaller or stayed the same depending on which restaurant you go to.”

Another reckoned: “There is nothing cheeky in Nando’s anymore.”

And a third insisted: “Prices are far too high.

“It’s always best to make your own or go to a chip shop.”

Consumer champ Scott Dixon, from The Complaints Resolver website, said: “Consumers will see soaring prices as inexcusable.

“It’s expensive for what it is and people will wonder why they are expected to pay more for less when Nando’s are recording record profits.

“Nando’s may cite increased costs of ingredients, energy and wage bills to justify it, but they face a potential loss of support and loyalty from customers who only have so much disposable income.”

Nando’s, with 465 restaurants in the UK, said: “As with many businesses, we’ve been impacted by rises in the cost of ingredients and running our restaurants.

“We continue to work hard to absorb costs wherever we can.”
