Where would you have been without a "Little Chef" restaurent to refresh your trips down the Motorways...

...and spending an expensive? night in one of his Hotels...?

Paul...in a "Greasy Spoon Cafe'" en-route to lay my head down in a flea-pit Boarding-house, somewhere... ...!

Those places were quite reasonable when the old man was in charge. Not a bad idea & better than MacDonalds by a long chalk. (Anything is better than MacDonalds. ) The Forte empire was taken over by Granada in 1996  

I'm impressed by Wikipedia. Must take some updating. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Forte%2C_Baron_Forte

I'm with Fozzer. Little Chef is EVIL! And the prices are criminal and the grub inedible. I always try and find a decent cafe where I can get a pot of tea and a heart attack on a plate without needing a mortgage

If the night is cold and you're drunk and hungry, Mc Donald's is better than sex.


Cheeseburger FTW!

Now you're beginning to worry me Bj

Hey I like Little Chef!!

I still remember the lovely warm cherry/vanilla ice pancake I had there years ago!!


hmmmm..... Pancake!!

[MWISimmer]

Little Chef won't be around much longer, about 3 months ago they were wound up as a company, only franchisees will keep the name, and they'll more than likely be phased out soon as well.

No great loss in my opinion.

Edit: No great loss about Little chef, not Lord Forte..  :-X

bjorn speaks a odd truth in that. many a time i have found myself in McDonalds or another fast food joint late at night and totaly bladderd and it is possibly (at the time) the greatest thing ever!
