It is a very interesting program but they seem to be taking the piss out of Heston, knicking his ideas...using him purely as an advertising campaign for Little Chef....in the same situation I would have walked away.
Very interested in tonights finale.

that menu looks just the thing to bring them up to date - The services oop North (Cumbria, Tebay) are a great example of getting it right and they've been doing it forever!

Best breakfast in Britain can be found at Tebay services!!! Get up at 6 ish, when driving up to Scotland, but stop just before you reach the promised land, for a beautiful brekkie!!! Fantastic. |

Northern brekkies are great, especially if they have haggis available too, although the one I had in Glasgow (which had no haggis) was awful. |

I've got a theory that the manager dude isn't really the head of little chef at all, he's just some homeless man pretending. The real board of little chef have no idea that Heston is there sorting out one of their restaurants.

i stopped at some services in france once, and they had this huge cooked ham with dijon sauce which they just cut asmany slices off as you wanted, served up with choice of veg and a lovely potato gratin - got the impression that the chef got up at 4, went to the local (EU subsidised) market, bought the produce he fancied having a go at that day, cooked it up and just charged 6 quid for it. bloody lovely, although the french wouldn't expect anything less, and if you tried it over here people wouldn't buy it unless it was wrapped in pastry and served with oven chips.

French service stations are fantastic. As long as you go to a big enough station you can always get a decent meal and it's usually reasonably priced too, love those places!

You have to pay some old lady to have a piss though...
German service stations are brilliant. Again, you have to pay to use the toilets, but you get a voucher with a barcode that can then be redeemed to the same value for any food/drink. Some of the toilets even clean themselves (seat and all!) once you're done.... mental.
