Nando’s is yet to say what will replace each item on the menu specifically, but promised customers new “seasonal sides” which will be offered over the course of the year.

Nando’s
Nando’s is a South African restaurant chain that serves a mix of Portuguese-style cuisine.
The company was founded in Johannesburg in 1987 by Fernando Duarte and Robert Brozin, and named after Duarte’s son. After success running three stores in South Africa and one in Portugal, the pair sold the company in 1992 by Capricorn Ventures.
There are now more than 1,000 Nando’s restaurants across the world.

In 2014, The Guardian reported that Nando’s UK was using a “elaborate offshore web of companies” on Jersey to reduce its tax bill.
The paper claimed that Dick Enthoven, the South African owner of Nando’s UK arm, also uses multiple offshore techniques to reduce the company’s UK corporation tax bill by “up to a third”.
The scheme allegedly makes use of companies based in Malta, Guernsey and the Netherlands.
