Warm mixed grains with green chickpeas, butternut squash and dried cranberries, tossed in lemon and oil and drizzled with our creamy dressing.
The price is missing here for a reason. Nando's does not publish one we could check, and a guess dressed as a figure is worse than an honest gap.
Allergens Nando's declares
Shared kitchens mean cross-contamination is possible. Ask in the restaurant if an allergy is severe.

Everything You Need to Know About Nando's Hearty Grains
How to order Hearty Grains at Nando's
You can order Hearty Grains at the counter, at a Nando's kiosk, or in the Nando's app for collection or delivery. It is filed under Sides. Not every branch stocks it, and the app is honest about that before you pay.
Nando's Hearty Grains price in 2026
There is no verified Nando's Hearty Grains price for 2026. Nando's prices per branch and publishes no national list for it, so the accurate figure is the one your own branch shows in 2026. Any site quoting a single exact national price for this item is guessing, and we would rather show the gap.
A lighter choice in the same section
Corn on the Cob sits in the same part of the menu at 142 kcal, which is 103 fewer than this for £4.25. That swap is the single biggest change available inside this section, and it needs no substitution or special request at the counter.
Finding it near you
We list 488 Nando's branches across 4 of the four UK nations, with the London W postcode area holding the most at 17. Menus vary by site, so a listing here is national rather than a promise about your nearest one. The Nando's app confirms it in seconds.
Salt worth knowing about
At 1.3g of salt it accounts for 22% of the 6g daily maximum the NHS recommends for adults, a noticeable share of a day in one item. Salt in restaurant food is fixed in the recipe, so the only control you have is what else goes alongside it.
What 245 kcal means here
245 kcal is well below the Sides average. That is a normal single course for most people, and it leaves room for a side. The 2,000 kcal figure printed on UK menus is a reference intake for an average adult, not a target, and it is the number these percentages are worked against.
Pro Tips for Ordering Hearty Grains
The side is where a meal grows
Sides are priced low enough to feel incidental and carry enough energy to change a meal's total. The smaller size, or one shared between two people, keeps the main choice intact. Nando's lists sides separately from meals for exactly this reason.
Allergens declared
Nando's declares 1 of the 14 allergens UK law requires to be listed for this item: cereals containing gluten. A declaration covers the recipe and not the kitchen, and every one of these chains prepares food in shared fryers and on shared surfaces. For a severe allergy the only reliable check is asking staff on the day.
Fibre
6.3g of fibre is a genuinely useful amount against the 30g a day UK adults are advised to get and mostly do not. Very little on a fast food menu contributes here, so it is worth noting when something does.
