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 f
king 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?

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.
