Nandos £5.95 chicken burger meal ‘trick’

Deals/ 173 Comments/

Ok, ok – this isn’t a ‘trick’ as such, but I was genuinely impressed when I saw TikToker Max Balegde’s £6 Nando’s dinner, I just had to share it with you.

By the way, if you’re on TikTok, check out Max’s channel – he’s actually hilarious.

I find Nandos really expensive for what it is, so I don’t go too often – but I know people are absolutely obsessed with the food chain.

Oh, slightly off-topic but if you have two minutes for a laugh – remember when a thief used my Deliveroo account to order a load of Nandos? The drama! I had their address and phone number.

Nando’s £6 Children’s Chicken Burger Meal

A standard chicken burger is £6.95, 1 side (chips) £9.50, and the 2nd side (rice) £11.50. BUT – As you can see in the video, Max ordered a Children’s meal (also known as the Nandinos menu!), which costs £5.95 – but looks like amazing value if you aren’t super hungry.

Slight curveball – Max confusingly says that his meal cost £6.50, but I looked at the Nandos menu and it says £5.95 – so maybe it’s slightly more expensive in some restaurants? Anyone got a clue?

He points out that you get a full fillet of chicken in the burger (looks like you only get the choice of lemon and herb, but there are hotter sauces for free around the restuarants to you can use to spice it up), a decent-sized amount of chips and a portion of rice which is “pretty much” the same size as the standard size portion. Bargain.

So yeah, thought this might be useful to some of you.

Tell me, what level of spice do you put on your Nandos? I’m hot, hot, hot all the way. I’m not happy unless my eyes are watering!

    Hi all! Does anyone have experience installing the 1998 honda accord coilovers? I saw it in an advertisement, I want to try to install it but I’m afraid it won’t have the same effect

    This Nando’s ‘trick’ with Max Balegde sounds brilliant! I totally agree Nando’s can be pricey, so finding a cheaper way to enjoy it is amazing. That Deliveroo story sounds wild, I can’t believe that happened! Definitely checking out Max’s TikTok too..

    I remember this hack doing the rounds on TikTok back in 2022, though I think some staff members were getting a bit funny about people ordering off-menu like that. Max Balegde always comes up with these clever little money savers. Has anyone tried this recently and actually been charged the £5.95, or has Nando’s quietly clamped down on it? Cursive Generator

    I remember seeing Max Balegde’s TikTok and thinking the same thing about Nando’s being overpriced for what you actually get. Combining the sides like that to bring it down to £5.95 instead of £11 is honestly the kind of ordering strategy more people should know about. The Deliveroo thief story gave me a proper laugh too.

    I always thought Nando’s was overpriced for what you get, so seeing this £5.95 combo is genuinely useful. It’s funny how it came from a TikTok video by Max Balegde — social media actually comes through with decent tips sometimes. Might have to give this a go next time I’m craving a chicken burger.

    I genuinely think Nando’s is overpriced too, so seeing this £5.95 combo from Max Balegde’s TikTok caught my attention. Getting a burger, chips and rice for basically half the normal £11 price is a solid find. Lotty’s posts always seem to dig up these random little deals that actually work. Anime In Order

    Ha, I always forget the Nandinos menu even exists – the portion is genuinely plenty if you just want a quick lunch rather than a full blowout. I’ve started logging small food spends like this in a simple spending dashboard and it’s mad how those 3 or 4 pound ‘little’ savings stack up over a month. Now I’m tempted to work out whether the kids’ meal actually beats a supermarket meal deal.

    The gap between the £5.95 Nandinos price you found on the menu and Max’s £6.50 in the video is the most useful detail here. Flagging that discrepancy and asking readers to confirm it, rather than presenting one figure as fixed, is a sensible way to handle possible regional pricing differences. The standard burger and side prices also make the value comparison easy to follow.

    Calling it a ‘trick’ and then admitting up front that it isn’t one is a refreshing bit of honesty, and it makes the Nandinos menu detail land better. Worth noting too that the children’s burger still uses a full fillet of chicken, with chips and rice alongside, and the hotter sauces are free to add in the restaurant.

    Framing the £5.95 Nandinos meal around appetite rather than as a loophole is a fairer read than the headline’s ‘trick’ — it notes the chips and rice, but also that it only suits you if you aren’t very hungry. Pairing the embedded May 2022 tweet with a direct check of the Nando’s menu also makes clear where each figure comes from.

    Tried this the other week and the 5.95 burger meal really does hit the spot, great value. I have been on a bit of a cheap-eats kick lately and honestly the simple stuff beats the fancy places every time. Small wins like this add up faster than people think.

    The aside flagged as slightly off-topic, about a thief using your food-delivery account to order a pile of chicken, is a genuinely odd detour, but it gives the post a voice that a bare price breakdown would not. The main section stays clearly separate, so the £5.95 children’s meal and the standard burger prices are easy to tell apart without the anecdote muddying them.
