Major change to Nando's and Five Guys could be coming to part of UK that will have huge impact on experience

It's meant to encourage people to make healthy choices, but has gone down like a lead balloon

There could be some huge changes coming to your favourite fast food restaurants, and it's very worrying.

This could be our Armageddon, and that's me trying not to be too dramatic.

We all love our cheat or treat meals, feasting on some food that we know we're not supposed to because it tastes so damn good, well, our experience could be significantly altered soon, whether we like it or not.

Whether it be a reliable Nando's where you get your preferred amount and flavour of chicken, or go full American and hit Five Guys for a burger loaded with toppings, these restaurants come with perks that most others do not.

However, if you're in a certain part of the UK, you might want to look away now because some news has broke that could spell the end of a beloved aspect of fast food dining.

Those in Wales will not be happy to hear that new proposals from the Welsh government which are aiming to restrict 'promotions of foods high in fat, sugar and salt' could result in restaurants and cafes across the country banning free top ups.

With places such as Nando's and Five Guys renowned for their free refill policy after you purchase a drink, the change will be sure to impact their customers' overall experience.

Health secretary of Wales, Eluned Morgan, further added that the government aims to restrict retailers from putting offers on 'unhealthy' food in supermarkets.

"We are supporting people in Wales to make the healthy choice," the government stated.

A proposal in the new suggested guidelines also mentioned restricting retailers from putting 'unhealthy foods' in more desirable locations in shops, such as entrances, aisle ends and checkout areas.

Unsurprisingly, these new proposals weren't met with much excitement, especially given the ongoing cost of living crisis across the nation.

With people struggling to afford weekly shops as it is, UK resident Vishley Furtado, a 21-year-old student, voiced his frustrations in an interview with the BBC.

"A lot of things have gone up in price. You should eat healthier and they should promote that," he suggested.

"They should try to make healthier food more affordable."

Back in 2020, the UK government proposed to ban online adverts for fatty, sugary and salty food, though the plans were eventually scrapped.

One think tank called them 'insane', who pointed out that foods such as avocados, Marmite and mustard could be hit with these restrictions, as well as fish and chips, or curry.

LADbible has contacted Nando's and Five Guys for a comment.
