Is Pedros the Same Company as Nando's?

Pedros Menu Platters and Prices in South Africa

Pedros menu platters are the biggest single orders on the menu, built for feeding a crowd rather than a couple of people. There are two of them, and that is worth knowing up front, because a lot of what gets searched as a Pedros platter is actually a family meal under a different name. This page covers both official platters in full, what is in each one, what they cost, and which family meals work better if a full platter is more than you need.

Pedros Menu Platters Menu and Prices

Pedros sells exactly two platters. Both are large sharing spreads, and both come loaded with more than just chicken.

PlatterPriceServes
Kids PlatterR389.993 to 4
Chicken PlatterR509.994 to 6

Pedros Chicken Platter, R509.99

The Chicken Platter is the largest order on the entire Pedros menu. It includes:

  • 2 full flame-grilled chickens
  • 10 wings
  • 8 cheesy jalapeño rissoles
  • 2 slaw wraps
  • 2 large wedges
  • 2 dips

Across four to six people that works out to roughly R85 to R127 each, which is reasonable for the volume of food involved. It is the order for a braai, a birthday, or any table where you want variety rather than everyone eating the same thing.

Pedros Kids Platter, R389.99

The name is misleading and worth flagging clearly. At R389.99 this is not a children’s meal, it is a large sharing platter with kid-friendly items on it. It includes:

  • 1 full flame-grilled chicken
  • 10 portions of Pedros Pops
  • 2 kids burgers
  • 2 wedges
  • 2 slaw wraps
  • 2 dips

If you are ordering for one child, you want a Kids Meal at R54.99 instead. The Kids Platter is for a kids’ party or a family table where the children are eating alongside adults.

Is There a Pedros Platter for 2?

No. Both Pedros platters are sized for three people or more, and the smaller of the two still costs R389.99. If you are feeding two people, a family meal is the right call and considerably cheaper.

Best Options for Two PeoplePriceWhat You Get
½ Viva MealR84.99Half chicken, chips, 2 rolls
Full Chicken & 4 RollsR139.99Full chicken, 4 rolls
Full Chicken PaellaR149.99Full chicken on spiced paella rice
Full Chicken & Large ChipsR149.99Full chicken, large chips
Viva MealR159.99Full chicken, large chips, 4 rolls
Full MealR199.99Full chicken, large chips, 4 rolls, salad, 1.5L drink

The Viva Meal at R159.99 is the pick here. It comfortably feeds two to three people and costs less than a third of the Chicken Platter.

Pedros Platter Box Prices

Pedros does not sell anything called a platter box. If that is what you are after, the combo range is the closest equivalent, and these are genuinely large orders that mix chicken with burgers, wraps and sides.

ComboPriceWhat You Get
Mini ComboR219.99Full chicken, large chips, 2 chicken burgers, garlic rolls
Maxi ComboR259.99Full chicken, 2 burgers, 2 garlic rolls, 2 Portuguese rolls, strips & rice
Mega MealR309.992 full chickens, 2 large sides, 8 rolls, 1.5L drink

The Mega Meal at R309.99 is the one to look at if the Chicken Platter feels like too much. You get two full chickens either way, and you save R200, though you lose the wings, rissoles and wraps that come with the platter.

Pedros Family Meals, the Cheaper Alternative

This is where most people searching for a Pedros platter should actually be looking. The family meal range covers thirteen options from under R80 up to R309.99, and it is the best value part of the whole menu.

Family MealPrice
Chicken Strips PaellaR79.99
Full Chicken & 4 RollsR139.99
Full Chicken PaellaR149.99
Full Chicken & Large ChipsR149.99
Viva MealR159.99
New Loaded Full Chicken PaellaR159.99
Viva Meal + 4 Garlic RollsR169.99
Ola MealR169.99
New Fiesta MealR179.99
Full MealR199.99
Full Meal + 4 Garlic RollsR209.99
Mini ComboR219.99
Maxi ComboR259.99
Mega MealR309.99

Two worth singling out. The Ola Meal at R169.99 gives you half basting and half sprinkle chicken, so the table gets both flavours rather than committing to one. The New Fiesta Meal at R179.99 comes as saucy sprinkle chicken cut into ten pieces with large chips, two rolls and a 1.5L drink, which makes it easier to share than a whole bird.

Which Pedros Platter or Meal Is Best Value

Working it out per person changes the picture considerably.

OrderPriceServesPer Person
Viva MealR159.992 to 3R53 to R80
Full MealR199.992 to 3R67 to R100
Mega MealR309.994 to 5R62 to R78
Chicken PlatterR509.994 to 6R85 to R127
Kids PlatterR389.993 to 4R97 to R130

The Viva Meal is the best value order on the Pedros menu, at as little as R53 a head. The Mega Meal is the best value for a larger group, feeding four to five for R62 to R78 each while still giving you two full chickens.

The platters cost more per person, and that is the trade-off. You are paying for variety, wings, rissoles, wraps and dips alongside the chicken, rather than the cheapest possible way to fill people up.

What Can You Get at Pedros for R100?

R100 goes further at Pedros than at most chains. There is no single R100 item, but several combinations land close to it.

Option Under R100Price
½ Chicken Meal (half chicken, chips, roll, drink)R89.99
Double Up, Chips & 300ml Buddy (two burgers)R89.99
½ Chicken PaellaR79.99
½ Viva MealR84.99
Three separate R29.99 meals (Strips & Chips, Strips & Rice, Livers & Roll)R89.97
¼ Chicken Meal plus 4 WingsR99.98

The best use of R100 for one person is the ½ Chicken Meal at R89.99, which gives you half a chicken, chips, a roll and a drink with change left over. If you are feeding two people on a strict R100, three of the R29.99 single meals is the most food you will get.

Pedros Specials Right Now

Pedros does not run fixed daily specials the way some chains do. Its promotional activity comes through limited-time menu additions instead, and the current promo range is the Loaded Paellas.

Current PromoPrice
New Loaded Quarter Chicken PaellaR59.99
New Loaded Chicken Strips PaellaR89.99
New Loaded Half Chicken PaellaR89.99
New Loaded Full Chicken PaellaR159.99

These come with flame-grilled chicken on rice with basting sauce, jalapeños and creamy peri mayo, in regular and jumbo sizes. Pedros also flags that regional and online pricing applies, so promotional availability can differ between branches and between walk-in and app ordering.

Is There a Pedros Menu PDF?

Pedros does not publish a downloadable menu PDF on its own website, though third party sites host their own versions. Worth being careful with those, since a PDF is a snapshot that goes stale the moment prices change, and Pedros updates its menu fairly often. The official Pedros site and app carry current pricing, and this page is kept updated against them.
