That isn't an English menu, the prices are in R which I think is South African Rand and not Pounds. It was more to illustrate the type of food available.
Yeh pretty much -
Cheers bruv.
My apologies no it isn't a type of food there, it is naughty in the terms of being indulgent or impulsive and is more of a turn of phrase that is often used in "lad culture" over here, which is sort of like a parallel to a "frat bro" in US culture. Think obnoxious, loud sometimes aggressive groups of guys.
Cheeky in this sense was in the past more often used in terms of alcoholic beverages so often people would use it to say things like "Do you fancy getting a cheeky pint after work". More modern usage it is often used to refer to food as well as drink and in the case of "cheeky nandos" will quite often be used by aforementioned "lads" when they have already had a few drinks and want to go and indulge in some chicken before going out and getting shit faced for the night.
Tldr: It is a turn of phrase used to mean indulging in an impulsive meal from the restaurant chain "Nandos"
Hit me up fam, I'll do you a solid.
Translation:
It is hard to explain my friend.
It is as if one day you'll be with your friends, browsing in JD Sports (sports shop) and you fancy a curry from the "curry club" menu at Wetherspoons (a nationwide chain of drinking establishments that serve "pub" style food).
However your friend who is male, called Callum, who is also an absolute legend and the epitome of banter (friendly and humerous conversation of a non-serious manner) will say "Brethren (an old fashioned way of referring to a friend you consider a brother) let's have a naughty Nandos (a chain restaurant that specialises in Peri Peri style chicken) instead"
Consequently you will think "Most excellent, let's go there and excel at the process of ordering and eating food"
If you haven't read it check out The Regulators too, it is a sort of tie in book to Desperation.

I heard there was a comic book but I hadn't checked it out, do you not think it is worth it?
I too also always wondered what happened at Jericho Hill.
If you like post apocalyptic settings then you may like "Cell", I've hears that people didn't think that much of it but I think it is really good so maybe check it out if you want that kind of setting again :)
I really find it a tough choice when I comes to King as I really do love a lot of his books but if I had to choose 3 it would probably be
The Talisman
Black House
Desperation
In theory everyone around me does. I have refused to use whatsapp and fb messenger and the like for around 10 years now. As a result I don't have contact with the majority of people I used to call friends as they refused to use anything else.
Consequently my immediate family use it and a few friends that actually cared to stay in touch do.
I have a couple of hold outs who I have contact with but pretty much everyone I'm in regular contact are on signal now.
"In a world where a footballer often goes down in a heap after the slightest of nudges"
I can't stand football but have you ever tried getting hit from any angle when you are full out sprinting? You will also be "going down in a heap".
What about fighters of all levels taking hits constantly but having the mental and physical endurance to keep going on?
Ultra runners who carry on despite breaks, sprains, blistering etc and that is usually for their own personal goals not a "contract"
This whole article smacks of "look how much better and more resilient we are than other sports" energy.
Every sport has injuries that happen and consequent shows of both mental and physical fortitude from the athletes participating if you want to get into a dick swinging contest, cyclists aren't the only ones that push through those kinds of things.
They do have to show massive patience to put up with an absolutely petty and pathetic governing body though.
