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 The Big Caesar
How to order The Big Caesar at Nando's
The Big Caesar is available at the till, on the kiosk screens and through the Nando's app, for collection or for delivery. Before it goes in the basket you choose the spice level. It is filed under The Lunch Fix. Not every branch stocks it, and the app is honest about that before you pay.
Nando's The Big Caesar price in 2026
There is no verified Nando's The Big Caesar 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.
Allergens declared
Nando's declares 5 of the 14 allergens UK law requires to be listed for this item: cereals containing gluten, eggs, milk, mustard and soya. 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.
Protein for the calories
It gives 4.5g of protein per 100 kcal, against a menu average of 5.3g across everything we hold for Nando's. That is about average for this menu, which matters more than the raw protein figure when you are comparing two items of different sizes.
What 649 kcal means here
649 kcal is a little above the The Lunch Fix average. That is a full meal's worth on its own, before anything else goes on the tray. 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 The Big Caesar
Ordering it
The figure in the table is the standard build. Anything added at the counter sits on top of it, and anything left out comes off, which is a normal request at Nando's rather than an awkward one.
The options change the numbers
The choices attached to this item run from Lemon & Herb at 10 kcal to On its own at 649 kcal, a spread of 639 kcal. The low end of that range is the biggest change available on this order.
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.
