Updated 12 September 2026
The Daybreaker carries more protein than anything else in Nando's Breakfast Rolls section, at 43.3g for 1093 kcal. Updated 12 September 2026.
A juicy, flame-grilled chicken sausage stacked with a fried egg and two PERi-Salted hash browns. Served in our rustic Portuguese roll with Churrasco PERinaise and PERi-tomato relish.
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 The Daybreaker
How to order The Daybreaker at Nando's
Counter, kiosk and app all carry it. The Nando's app adds collection and delivery. It is filed under Breakfast Rolls. Availability is set per branch, so a smaller site may not carry it at all.
Nando's The Daybreaker price in 2026
There is no verified Nando's The Daybreaker 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 7 of the 14 allergens UK law requires to be listed for this item: celery, cereals containing gluten, eggs, milk, mustard, soya and sulphites (sulphur dioxide). 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.
Saturated fat
12.7g of saturates is 64% 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.
A lighter choice in the same section
Sausage Fried Egg Roll sits in the same part of the menu at 652 kcal, which is 441 fewer than this. That swap is the single biggest change available inside this section, and it needs no substitution or special request at the counter.
Fibre
14.3g 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.
Pro Tips for Ordering The Daybreaker
Breakfast timing
Breakfast items come off the menu at a set time, which varies by branch rather than nationally. The only way to be sure is to get there before the changeover, and the app shows the current menu for the branch you have selected.
Salt worth knowing about
At 6.1g of salt it accounts for 102% of the 6g daily maximum the NHS recommends for adults, most 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 1093 kcal means here
1093 kcal is well above the Breakfast Rolls average. That is most of a day's energy for a smaller adult in one item, so treat the rest of the order accordingly. 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.
