Is another great British tradition on the wane.
I can remember when younger looking forward to stopping in them on route to a match or work.
On my travels now its sad to see how dated they are and many are being sold....because the food is dire and i gave one ago near Warwick got my food and after i mouthfull gave it back and went...it was terrible made worse by the fact the three woman who worked there couldnt understand English and were not keen to give me my money back.
Little Chef RIP!!!

good, it's shit.

The olympic breakfast was the only decent thing there.

I thought they went bust ages ago.

Happy Eater is another one.
Also im suprised Wimpy is still going, fuck me thats shit, Its funny though, that when i went to Zimbabwe a few years back its the main restaurant everywhere.

Problably cost you $3,000,000,000,000 for a burger now though.

  Little Thief should be avoided if at all possible....as should all such multi chains.

  I'm disappointed with you Leefer....I had you down as a man with encyclopaedic knowledge of truck stops and greasy spoons...

  I used to know a few decent ones myself....but just don't put in the road miles anymore.

£8 for a fry up that takes 20mins to turn up! Sod that, Tesco everytime :eatkf:

Happy Eater pancakes were fucking amazing.

Ha this reminds me of this clip

Anyone remember the cafe on manny road

sorry I don't get it? what?

rolling on (the) floor laughing

I love roadside cafes, they are pretty similar all around the country, but what great characters inside, the smell of the grease just about overpowers the continual  odour of the farting.
My God its British.

got ya! nice.

There used to be this ace cafe in watford only tiny and I promise you the cook was jabba the hut's brother. A bacaon sarnies cooked in lard tasted divine only £1 lush. The bloke who owned it jabba died at 35 lived the cafe live to the max rip

Best "caff" I ever went to was an old converted British Rail carriage in Kensington just off the main High Street, which all of the local cabbies used.

I used to walk past it on the way to work in the morning and it was fucking treeeeeeeemendous.  The owner had a wonky eye and he directed his posse of Eastern Europeans and Turks like a conductor behind the hot plate.  Effing and blinding away they weren’t allowed to stand still for a second.

Full of proper old school characters and the bacon rolls were sublime.

I'd love to know if it's still there.

i liked the selly sausage in birmingham, until they redid it and ponced it up.

 I used to like the Zambesi Cafe in Sparkbrook....don't think it's there now.

good curry round that way though.

The cafe in Manny road was Nottons,its now Sharlands roofers,was a top cafe....went there often before the matches years ago.

I remember as a kid on "divorce weekends" going to a little chef on away days and not thinking it was very nice.

For the names alone, Wimpy was superior...

Bender in a Bun

The mouth-watering all-pork Wimpy bender

Wimpy is fucking cack.

Ive said it before and ill say it again!

Of course it was! But the names they gave the food were sometimes hilarious.

Nottons was great

My old dear worked in Nottons when she were a lass... bit before my time.

The Wimpey Half Pounder was delicious!

So where the shakes at Little Chef.

Mind you, we didn't have much to compare them with at the time..........

Favourite hang-out of the town players of the sixties after training - Summerbee and Hunt ruled the roost!!

I was not even thought of in the sixties

Bushey told me it was a pity you were ever thought of!!

Is that where you take Birdy on dates now instead of the Little Chef in Burnley???

Jubilee pancakes and thats it..

Hillside Cafe at Codford on the A36 between Warminster and Salisbury was my local......get that black pudding down ya!

Little Chefs are that pricey anymore, pretty good value and you get plenty of food. 

I did a best mans speech based solely around the contents of a little chef menu, went down a storm, just wish i could remember any of it.
