Staff at a UK Nando’s were left stunned after superstar Beyonce placed an order worth nearly £2k ahead of a headline show at Murrayfield Stadium.
The award-winning singer, who is currently on her world tour, played a sell-out show in Edinburgh on Saturday (20 May). However, before hitting the stage she decided to treat her team – in classic UK fashion – to a giant order of Nando’s chicken and burgers.
A Beyonce fan account tweeted (then deleted) a photo of the gigantic order over the weekend, which totaled a massive £1,809.35.
The receipt was clearly marked ‘Beyonce’ and showed a huge order of 50 sunset burgers, 30 fino pittas, 30 butterfly burgers, 60 chicken pittas, 20 beanie burgers, and 10 chicken wings.

The total of the order came to £1,809.35. Images of the receipt shared online have caused some debate, with some fans praising her for completely getting the culture right whilst others criticised her staff for using her name to order their food.

One fan commented: “Beyoncé’s team using her actual name to order food is SO UNSERIOUS.”
Another said: “Beyonce going for a cheeky Nandos is sending me.”

A third commented: “Beyonce unhinging her jaw to devour her nandos order before her show.”
A fourth said: “she even got change” followed by four crying-laughing faces.
The megastar is currently on her Renaissance world tour, which sees her perform five UK dates in May.
However, a stop-off in Manchester is sadly not on the cards for fans this time around.
Having performed in Cardiff, Edinburgh and Sunderland, the Run The World star will finish up with two dates in London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium before jetting off to her next stop.

First Dates’ Merlin Griffiths has been given the ‘all clear’ from bowel cancer
Danny Jones
Merlin Griffiths has been given the ‘all clear’ from bowel cancer following his first-year scan. Things you absolutely LOVE to hear.
The beloved First Datesbartender was diagnosed with stage three bowel cancer back in 2021 and had undergone multiple surgeries since then, including a first robotic operation to remove a 4.5cm-wide tumour in April last year.
Now, after going along for multiple CT scans following his first full year of treatment, Merlin received the final results from his doctor who confirmed that he has been given the all-clear, sharing the email on his Instagram account.
As the email reads, his doctor informed him that “all looks good” and that “there are no signs of any reoccurrence” at this time.
Writing in the caption, the 48-year-old added: “Final Year 1 scan results are in, and it’s ALL CLEAR for now. Nice. Thank you #NHS #bowelcancerawareness.”
Merlin told his followers that he was “clear” of the disease last month following his initial scans, having continued to film First Dates and make other TV appearances throughout his 18-month cancer battle, but was only made certain after these final results. What a legend.
We’re so happy for you, Merlin, and we hope to see you back behind the bar and slinging drinks again soon.

Coronation Street legend Julie Goodyear, who famously played the iconic character Bet Lynch for over 25 years, has sadly been diagnosed with dementia.
Issuing a statement via ITV, her husband Scott Brand confirmed that they had been given the “heartbreaking diagnosis” this week.
Goodyear, 81, played the legendary Rovers Return pub landlord for over two decades across two different spells on the show, starting in 1966 before leaving the show for good in 1995.
Brand told the outlet on Wednesday: “Unfortunately, Julie has been suffering forgetfulness for some time and we have been seeking medical advice and assistance, but we now know that there is no hope of a reversal in the situation – and that her condition will get progressively, and perhaps speedily, worse.”

Julie Goodyear has been diagnosed with dementia at the age of 81.
He went on to say that he and Goodyear “have taken the decision to publicly announce the diagnosis as Julie still loves visiting friends and eating out”, noting that she inevitably gets recognised “and fans love to meet her – and she them – but she can get confused particularly if she is tired” and adding they “hope people will understand.”
The Manc soap star and household name is from Heywood in Rochdale and retired from acting in 2003 after making her final special appearance on the Coronation Street spin-off, After Hours.
