I would guess that a lot of trade has been taken

by supermarket cafeterias which are often situated alongside major routes on

town edges. The cost is usually less than half of

Little Chef's equivalent.

I wonder if we were there at the same time?

Turn off the motorway, find a nice little village or town with a good pub and have a juicy steak.

I went to this little countryside pub in Scotland once which served an entire pigs ribcage on a plate, seasoned and cooked lovely.

It put prices up that's what happened. Some outlets have done well from it if you're willing to pay silly prices for poncy food (which I'm not), other outlets suffered as a result of investment being withheld from the regular outlets to finance the HB updates outlets.

That's one of the reasons the regular outlets have suffered and some of which are being closed. Maintenance issues haven't been addressed efficiently by head office. Too often toilets are in need of repair, air conditioning isn't working, building issues not addressed etc. because head office have refused to authorise maintenance repair work in a timely manner.

I would rather wipe my a*** with a broken bottle than eat at a Little Chef.

Regards.

I've only eaten in one twice in my life. I recall that the food is foul.

Sure wish they would provide more comfortable (and padded) seating at some of their locations, those red plastic seats were a seriously bad investment & major mistake. They must have lost a lot of trade because of those horrible things, certainly lost some of our trade where they are fitted.

Those seats were purchased so that people wouldn't get too comfy and fill seats while other customers went elsewhere when the plaace was full,

I do believe there was an article on it when macd's opened its one of it first restaurants in london in the 70's, obviously everyone has copied them..
