Shame, fond memories of Little Chef.  Was always the start of our holidays (always camping when I was little), always stopped there on way...

Alas, I guess most families eat where kids want to, ie MacDonalds shite :(

Call me old fashioned, but I quite like eating off a plate with a knife and fork.

Even recently, Little Chef was more pleasant that McD. With McD, you're sat in carpark waiting for Mrs TheBoy's fish to be cooked, and its full of chavs in Saxos, too oppsing lazy to walk to a oppsing bin  >:(

I TOTALLY agree with the most Jaime. Especially the barsteward kids in saxo's bit. Also the eating with knife and fork bit. I'm a bit old fashioned in those areas too. And I'm only 22 :)

BUT.. Fair shout.. in my experience, little chef were crap :D

Had got expensive for what they offered. At the end of the day, they started out (and remained) a 'greasy spoon' place. And the marketing was rubbish, hence they were always empty and MacDonalds aways packed...   ...KFC have got their marketing together now - look how they are getting busier...

I haven't used one for a while. If we do it is normally the Burger King section as they seem to be better run with nicer food than normal BKs.

However I do get fed up with MWAY indentikit services

Steady! They may sue you for slander to pay off their debts! ;D

Or is it Slander if it is true?

Their coffee really was poor
