Gone into admin. I hope this aint the end.

The food wasnt that great and the service was slow but when its 8am and youve got a 10hr drive ahead of you those breakfasts are just awesome, and way better than the fossilized crap you get in most service stations.

Raped by the onset of M&S Simply Food in my estimation.

Good riddance, it was appalling.   I waited 45 minuted for breakfast once, and it was still sh*t.

I think I have only ever used one perhaps once or twice in my life time.  If i remember correctly it was overpriced and just barely acceptable.

A female friend at uni worked at Little chief and it has put me off for life! In fact I was in one a new years day (getting home ish) and it has only confirmed my fears.

All of them were ridiculously expensive for what you got, and both times I visited one the food was appalling.

BK is the best, mcds suck though....

BKs burgers you can actually taste the meaty burger, mcds you just taste the sauce/onion on the burger, really worth Ã,£4!


As for little chef ive been about 4 times and theyve been very hit and miss, id say 2 of them where quick and hot and good food, the other 2 where the complete other end of the scale being slow, cold and crap food.

All 4 where over priced at Ã,£7 for a burger with chips....

McDs dont even try to supply veggies any more so I go to BK by default.

Not that I would go to McDs anyway...
