Restaurants including Nando's & KFC affected

A shortage of chicken, which forced restaurants like Nando's and KFC to close or change their menu, is being blamed on Brexit.

The Head of the British Poultry Council says worker shortages are causing issues - as he calls on the UK government to fast-track visas for those entering the country, to work in the industry.

Restaurant chain, Nando's, says supply shortages are widespread across England, Wales and Scotland, but Irish stores are unaffected.

UK Ministers say they are exploring ways to help the sector recruit more domestic labour.
