The Big Cheese sits 9th of 15 on price in Nando's Burgers, Pittas, Wraps section, at £9.25 and 748 kcal. Updated 12 September 2026.
Grilled halloumi topped with our red pepper and pineapple salsa, sliced avocado and Churrasco PERinaise. Served in our rustic Portuguese roll.
The £9.25 figure came from a third party listing rather than from Nando's, which means it may reflect a delivery menu. Delivery prices sit above in restaurant prices before any fee is added, so treat this as the ceiling rather than the till price.
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 Cheese
How to order The Big Cheese at Nando's
Counter, kiosk and app all carry it. The Nando's app adds collection and delivery. It is filed under Burgers, Pittas, Wraps. Not every branch stocks it, and the app is honest about that before you pay.
Nando's The Big Cheese price in 2026
The Nando's The Big Cheese price in 2026 is £9.25 on the figures we hold. The figure came from a third party listing rather than from Nando's, so read it as a ceiling. Within the Burgers, Pittas, Wraps section that puts it 9th of 15 on price. Expect more at airport, motorway and station branches than on a high street, and more again through a delivery app.
Protein for the calories
It gives 3.7g of protein per 100 kcal, against a menu average of 5.3g across everything we hold for Nando's. That is a weak ratio for this menu, which matters more than the raw protein figure when you are comparing two items of different sizes. On raw protein it ranks 11th of 15 in its section.
Salt worth knowing about
At 3.5g of salt it accounts for 58% of the 6g daily maximum the NHS recommends for adults, a large part 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.
Saturated fat
20.4g of saturates is 102% of the 20g reference intake. That figure is the one worth watching over a week rather than a meal, and it is the number that separates two items with similar calorie counts.
What 748 kcal means here
748 kcal is a little above the Burgers, Pittas, Wraps 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 Cheese
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.
A lighter choice in the same section
Beanie Wrap sits in the same part of the menu at 644 kcal, which is 104 fewer than this for £8.50. That swap is the single biggest change available inside this section, and it needs no substitution or special request at the counter.
Diet marking
Nando's marks this as vegetarian. That is the chain's own classification of the recipe rather than a statement about how it is cooked, and vegan marking in particular sits alongside shared equipment at most of these brands.
