Nando’s closes restaurant for Jack Grealish — and even made him his own menu
JACK Grealish took over a Nando’s – and the restaurant even made him a personalised menu.
The England and Manchester City ace received special treatment as he met up with pals including his former Aston Villa teammate John McGinn.
Nando’s bosses closed their eaterie to make way for the high-profile guests – leaving hungry locals baffled.
And chicken chain managers even cooked up a special menu for one of their favourite customers – titled ‘Grealish’s Festive Grub’.
Jack’s special itemised card looked like the standard Nando’s menu but had footie-themed headings including ‘kick off’, ‘reach to tackle’, ‘full time’ and ‘off-sides’.
And listed were the £100million man’s favourite grub – including chicken thighs and a garlic churrasco burger
Invited guests to the Christmas knees-up couldn’t resist sharing snaps on social media.
One picture showed the table groaning with huge platters of chips and chunky grilled halloumi with chilli jam.
Bottles of Portuguese lager Sagres were seen scattered around the food, alongside orange juice and a pineapple and mango drink.
Three Lions favourite Jack, famed for his low socks and massive calves, has often told of his love of Nando’s.
And he happily posed for snaps outside the restaurant yesterday.
Frustrated diners locked out of their favourite food venue, in Shirley, near Birmingham, had their spirits raised when guests including Jack and his Scottish pal McGinn stopped to pose for snaps.
Jack, in a white t-shirt and white zipped top, happily smiled for the camera.
Meanwhile the 29-year-old Villa man posed in a black jumper and blue anorak after Monday night’s bash.
Last month Jack and his City and Norwegian striker pal Erling Haaland revealed each other’s favourite grub.
The England ace said the goal machine – famed for an unusual diet consisting of cow’s heart and liver – also likes focaccia bread and his own pasta, which has a creamy tomato sauce.
Jack, 28, admitted he “does eat a lot of bad stuff”, as Erling revealed his mate loves nothing more than “Nando’s, McDonald’s and pizza”.
The wing wizard, who signed for treble winners City from Villa in 2021, joked: “He’s just made me sound like the fattest footballer in the Prem!”
Nando’s was contacted for comment.
