You know I get the feeling most of the staff would not really care if someone did get more than one. Very much a „Not paid enough to care“ situation
I often get half original, half diet so can I fill my glass twice? Thx
It’s definitely a weird line
On one hand, we have a tax payer funded healthcare service and if it’s being overloaded by people who have made bad choices (obesity) then we should expect there to be some legislation to try and tackle that.
On the other hand, my body my choice, and to sone degree, my business my choice. If I want to consume a few full fat cokes I should be able to, and if I want to be ahead of the competition by making my full fat cokes free refills, I should be able to.
I dunno where I stand on it
Edit : how about Nando’s gets a scale at the door for an optional BMI reading and those with a healthy BMI get free refills. High BMI or refuse to be weighed no free refills
Needs to be hell on over this, government over reach if we’ve ever seen it.
Meanwhile the unlimited ice cream remains unlimited
They can restrict it, but how are they going to police it when those drinks are self-serve? I’ve just seen a video on TikTok where someone showed this sign and proceeded to just pour himself another coke lol.
Also who has decided that aspartame is better than sugar because I know which one I’m drinking …
There is zero chance this will actually be enforced
Amount of people that genuinely seem annoyed they cant have more than half a litre of full sugar coke with their meal for free is astonishing. But then thats what the media do now, make everyone try and be outraged at the smallest thing
Go outside, enjoy the fresh air and chill. Life is too short to be angry over this
At least I won’t feel like a chunp when I get the unlimited refill and forget to get it refilled.
The only way to prevent this would be to put full sugar Coca Cola on a separate machine that only the staff have access to behind the till. But as that would not be possible, a sign will suffice and people can decide for themselves what they want.
And anyway, full sugar Coca Cola is probably better for you than the diet/low sugar ones anyway.
I’m so furious I feel like back when we were FORCED to wear seatbelts! My freedom was taken away that day and it’s happening again. What next? Age restrictions on energy drinks? TV licences? Children not allowed to work in the mines because of ‘health’ concerns?!!
Country has gone to the dogs!
Nanny state? My nanny let me drink as much fizzy pop as I wanted.
That’s certainly one hell of a headline lmao

It is funny to me that we emphasize personal choice in 99.99% of cases, including our own health… except when it comes to food or drink.
There’s a fundamental disconnect there, that a refill is a step too far but so many issues, including suicide in the future at least for the terminally ill are yours to make.
It’d be one thing if the existing systems were set up to be predatory somehow, but if they aren’t then why should the government step in here but only here?
Nah they don’t care. Always get a water cup and fill it with sprite. Never had a issue
For what I care you can drink as much Coke as you want.
But don’t ask for Moinjaro’s injection finded via taxpayer’s money when your added weight makes your knees weak or gives you diabetes.
Don’t blame Nando’s, this is a new government policy.
I know for a fact the staff don’t care, do whatever you want
The fuck are you lot eating at Nando’s that needs more than one coke? Get some water for fucks sakes and piss off.
Now I will wait for supermarkets to restrict the amount of cans or bottles you can buy.
This will come. Mark my words.
even as a kid i preferred diet soda to regular. still do. regular coke is just too sugary and sickly. nando’s is a giant rip off anyway, so im not surprised they’re the first to pull this nonsense. but i also find it kind of funny. a real two finger salute to all the regular coke drinkers who have always ranted on about how diet soda is awful.
I thought you were paying for refillable cokes. I guess they didn’t adjust their pricing to accommodate.
Nando seems to be going through cash flow issues
Wouldn’t be surprised if the start closing more places
Obesity costs an insane amount of money. If we ban smoking why not this?
Police will be knocking on your door if you’re not in bed by 10pm next
It’s most likely Nandos most expensive on-tap drink, is regular coke, due to the sugar tax is & they don’t want people having more than one glass, sure that traces back to government slapping on the sugar tax but it’s hardly the government nannying… More Nandos wanting to keep costs minimal.
And people will ignore it regardless.
And yet, after leaving Nandos having only had one coke, I went and smashed 7 pints of Timothy Taylor Landlord Dark at 200+ cals a pint, had a Kabab, called the owner „Boss Man“ and went home.
Cals in food and drink are not the problem. Its peoples overall lifestyle, diets and activity levels. Im a fit and pretty lean person. I complete at competitions round the country. I still enjoy a night out like the one i described above, its just its not a regular thing. If i did that every night, it would be a problem.
Education, not prohibition, is the way forward.
Brits want Free Elf Cayre but low taxes
This is the cost lol
