There’s a Wimpy at Milford on the Stafford side of Cannock Chase.
Take away only but always busy.

I don't miss their properly stupid fking teapots though. I was a rep on the road through the eighties and would be in a Little Chef several times a week, I don't recall ever having a teapot that didn't dribble and piss all over the table upon pouring. An Early Starter and a fking puddle! Every fking time! The fking things are still out there too, in other establishments. Why? For the love of God, Why?
BHS cafe teapots were the same.tedmus said:

I'm browsing on Deliveroo now, seriously contemplating putting in a Wimpy order.
I did that just a few days ago! Well, it was Just Eat, actually. Definitely brings back some fond memories, although mine was cold by the time it showed up. Got a bit dried out when I heated it up a bit.The Wimpy on Lord Street in Southport was a regular Saturday lunch treat from the age of about twelve through to my mid twenties when it closed - I went through different phases, but definitely remember the egg burger being one of my favourites.
I also visited the one in Dorking when I lived over that way a few years back and was shocked to find one here in Basingstoke when we moved here but it doesn't seem quite the same, somehow - maybe I've been spoilt by too many proper American fast food burgers since then.

The last one I ate in was in Stowmarket about four years ago. It was so-so but I still try another if the opportunity arises.
you didn't... it closed 4 years even before that!He is also opening another soon in one of the ex bank outlets. This time, an Italian restaurant instead of pizza, kebab or chippy !
Not bad from a chap that was his Dads laccy !
There's a Wimpy near us which is really good. No the cheapest takeaway/fast food option, but we love it.

Just outside Shugborough, so all you National Trust members can go there instead of their overpriced café!
ETA: they just announced they're staying open for takeaway after Thursday, too!

I went to the one in Southend back in 2017, we had (my friend and I) quarter pounder with bacon/cheese, large chips and a large coke x 2.
It was average and overpriced around £16.
The best Wimpy's I had were the smaller restaurants (like a cafe) usually only one cook, two in Islington Chapel Market and Upper Street, other one in Battersea Clapham Junction in the 1980's.

I went to one last year out of curiosity. Had a half-pounder with chips. It was identical to the kebab shop burger and chips, which is not a bad thing but way more expensive than a kebab shop it was incidentally run by Turkish people.
Was it Shrewsbury by any chance?I have a huge appreciation for a tea pot that pours properly, it makes me as happy and as content as one that doesn't makes me unhappy and grumbly, and I will complain to the proprietor, who had better be damned well apologetic and contrite or I can seriously spit my dummy out, beyond reason. It's something I have zero tolerance for. Little Chef, this is your legacy.
