1. There are around 1000 KFC restaurants in the UK and Ireland, and around 200 in the UK currently serve halal food.
2. Around 80 Nando's restaurants in the UK serve 100% halal chicken. Their website explains it thus.
"In these restaurants, we only serve chicken that's certified halal. And as we don’t handle any pork ingredients, there’s no chance of cross-contamination
It’s also important that the chickens we use for our halal products get the same high standard of welfare as the rest of our chickens. Our UK suppliers follow the Red Tractor Farm Assurance Standards. And we’ve partnered with organisations like Compassion in World Farming to make sure we continue to improve the wellbeing of all our animals.
Why do we serve halal chicken?
We want to make sure everyone can have our PERi-PERi chicken. So we'll decide if a restaurant will serve halal chicken based on things like:
- Local population - Future openings in the area - Distance to the nearest halal Nando's"

"No animal should be subject to death, for human purposes" would have been the correct sentence to go with. The stuff around "animal welfare" is noise to make meat eaters feel better about themselves. Factory farms in the UK are bleak despite how much we crow about our welfare standards, even what constitutes free range isn't great, certainly not much of an existence for the animals. Animals getting stunned is not all that pleasant either, the whole slaughter process - whether it's done "better" or not - is grim. If people really care about animal welfare, don't eat meat, dairy, or eggs.
Yeah, you really would like ITFC to come up with a statement along the lines of,

How many veggie or vegan options are available at PR on matchdays?
People could simply choose not to eat meat there, not gonna kill them to go without it for 3 hours is it ...
ITFC/catering partners would soon get fed up with having to take the meat home and/or binning it.
It’s just red meat for racists and the thick - he’s a complete sh1tstirring bigot that fella. There’s not a nice way to slaughter an animal and halal is no worse than other methods. I notice these people never worry about kosher slaughter either.
Surely the issue here is whether people (particularly those that cannot eat it) are told that it is Halal.
This story isn't about Kosher food, if it was being served at the club without people knowing then the issue would be the same.
I can’t remember ever being told the provenance of any meat products at a football ground. Surely under whatever approach an animal is slaughtered there will be some religious group who can’t eat it. Yet it only ever seems to crop up as a problem when it’s halal, for obvious reasons.

I worked for a predominantly Jewish firm of solicitors and remember being told that observant Jews wouldn't eat even in a kosher restaurant.
From recollection, it was something to do with not be able to trust that things were done properly.

Is this another Israel v Hamas thread but using meat production as a proxy? Clever stuff.
I have to say, irrespective of the likely motivations of some people commenting / complaining, it is egregious that in 2025, we have laws that require basic animal welfare standards to defer to religous doctrines.
There is no logical excuse for ritual slaughter of the type described by the RSPCA in the article without (at the very least) stunning. We should not be allowing religions to call their own shots on this, anymore than they should call their own shots on child welfare protection (im looking at you CofE) or, come to that, genital mutilation of children.
