Wendy's fast-food chain has been opening more restaurants across the UK since it returned in 2021, with their latest in Camden Town.

Opened on 28 June, the new branch of the iconic burger joint features all the menu favourites - including Dave's Single and the Baconator.

But if you were hoping to try something a little different, then we've got you covered.

Louisa Joerg, the International Brand Manager for Marketing at Wendy's, has shared some of her favourite secret menu hacks for the fast-food chain - and we gave some of them a go to see how they tasted.

Let's just say we weren't disappointed.

The menu at Wendy's is intended to be fully customisable so when it comes to secret menu items, you could pretty much create what you want.

Louisa's top tip was to swap out anything that comes with grilled chicken and add spicy chicken instead - this could be in burgers or salads.

She suggested we try this with the Caesar Chicken Salad and honestly it was a great shout. The spicy chicken provided a nice kick to the rest of the dish, which otherwise would have been lacking.

Spicy chicken was also recommended paired with the Sour cream and chives potato and added to the Avocado Club as it provides "good juxtaposition" of flavour.

Additionally, you can add chicken to your Dave's Single or Double burger to create the 'ultimate' meat feast burger, or if you'd prefer something cheesier you can whip up a Cheesy Cheddar burger.

For the latter, you would simply need to order a double stack with cheese and then ask for cheese sauce to be added.

Other top tips include buying a Vanilla Frosty (a cross between ice cream and a milkshake) and adding a big scoop into a cup of Coke to create a Coke Float.

Again this was another fun idea and we loved trying this out. The Coke float felt so retro and was something a little different - though it did look a little gross when the Frosty melted.

You can also add the Frosty into an Espresso to make yourself an affogato.

And not so much a secret as people have been dunking chips in McDonald's milkshakes for as long as we can remember - but staff at Wendy's encourage you to dip your fries into a Chocolate Frosty and they even claim it works with chicken nuggets as well.
