to think that Little Chef...

[SparkyMcSparrowLaidMiniEggs]

...is not a great place for a planned Easter lunch out?

Tis what my MIL suggested

I used to like it when I was a kid, it was part of the holiday. Some are better than others. If it's the only convenient option I will go, but I'd never 'plan' to go and certainly not for 'a meal out'

Sorry: [bugrin]

How awesome is that? [busmile]

Bloody hell, how expensive!

I love little chef breakfasts .

It's shite but for some reason the kids always want to go there (i totally did my heels in where possible) but one night, like a previous poster we stopped in a travelodge on the way to our holiday and again the only place to eat at that time was little chef. I had some excuse for chicken (it could possibly have been a rubber chicken?) and DH had some pie which was practically empty. When he complained to the manager he said 'we cant help that sir we dont cook them we just warm them up..' Niiiiiiccce advertisement for your extremley overpriced products there...

Expensive? Compared to what?

Compared to a made from scratch home cooked meal from the lovely little pub down the road.

We drive from south-east England to north-west Wales a couple of times a year. Unless you've got the time and inclination to faff around leaving the motorway its the least bad option now that every bloody service station is monopolised by Costa and Kentucky Fried Crud.

does anyone know if little chef will be open tommorrow, i could do with some of those jubilee pancakes!

No no no
I travel lots. I could never consider it 'the least bad option' simply the worst possible option. KFC is shite but knows it. It doesn't pretend it's crap food is restaurant quality and charge ridiculous prices in context to the shite it serves

Some meals at little chef are about £15. I could get bistro quality food for that in a lovely environment cooked by chefs that shock horror actually MAKE the food they serve...

My gran favours Wimpy herself! You can't beat those circular sausages!

If we are travelling, we stop at services that have McDonald's. It's cheap, consistent, and the food is vaguely edible. YOur talking £5 for McD breakfast vs £10 or so in little chef and the like.
