Me and two friends stopped at every little chef we past on the way to Cornwall once.
Fucking love chips & beans, then a pancake for dessert.
Haven't been in one for years though.

They've just spent the last couple of years re-branding as well and putting it across they're cafes, so they wasted even more money!

About 4 years ago the last time for me, was on the way to an airport and needed a wee, went to little chef instead of petrol station as theirs were out of order.
Ended up having egg and bacon etc, was abolutely terrible, ate about half.

I thought they had gone bust years ago too. The 2 near me stopped trading years ago now.
Doesn't matter, I never go to these kind of places. Little Chef, Mcdonalds etc. it's all dog shite food.

My work supplies them 
Never heard anything about the ones up here closing and the ones I deliver to (A9 north and south bound) are constantly busy. They buy a shit load of produce as well.

Unless you grow organic crops and keep your own livestock, the majority of the shite we consume is of the same ilk.

A pub lunch tastes a lot nicer than a McDonalds/Little Chef. Actually fills you up too!

Not hard to find a village or town nearby. You're never that far from somewhere, at least in England anyway.

TBH I wouldn't get myself in a situation where I had to go to eat at a service station, same as I never have to get petrol from a service station. Plan ahead. Think we may have gone a bit off topic now

They can't beat a greasy spoon, they overcharge for a mediocre breakfast. Sink or swim nowadays, they don't don't breast stroke.
