The Big Cheese
The Big Cheese is one of Nando’s most popular vegetarian burgers. It’s rich, cheesy and full of big flavour. If you love halloumi and want a hearty bite, this burger delivers every time. It’s built around a thick slice of grilled halloumi. It’s smoky, salty and soft inside. The burger is layered with red pepper and pineapple salsa, fresh sliced avocado, Churrasco PERinaise, and a rustic Portuguese roll. The mix of creamy, tangy and sweet flavours makes this burger stand out. It uses halloumi and Churrasco PERinaise but contains no meat. It’s one of Nando’s most satisfying vegetarian burgers.

Watch-outs
Healthier Eats Score
A 0-100 comparison score across calories, protein, fibre, sugar, salt and saturated fat. This is a comparison score, not medical advice.
How this score is calculated
Each meal is scored 0-100 by combining six per-100g style nutrient sub-scores into a weighted average, then rounding. Higher is better.
- Protein - 20%
- Salt - 18%
- Calories - 15%
- Fibre - 15% (skipped if not published; score then capped at 80)
- Saturated fat - 15%
- Sugar - 12%
- Calories: ≤300 kcal = 100, ≤500 = 90, ≤600 = 80, ≤750 = 60, ≤900 = 35, else 15
- Protein: 60% from grams (30g+ = 100) + 40% from % of energy from protein (20%+ = 100)
- Fibre: ≥8g = 100, ≥6g = 85, ≥4g = 60, ≥2g = 35, else 10
- Sugar: ≤5g = 100, ≤10g = 80, ≤15g = 55, ≤25g = 25, else 0
- Salt: ≤1.5g = 100, ≤2.0g = 80, ≤2.4g = 60, ≤3g = 40, ≤4g = 15, else 0
- Saturated fat: ≤3g = 100, ≤5g = 75, ≤7g = 40, ≤10g = 15, else 0
A single major watch-out limits the final score: salt >1.5g caps at 82, salt ≥3g or sat fat ≥6g caps at 78, kcal ≥900 caps at 70, salt ≥4g or sat fat ≥10g caps at 65.
