The Olympic Breakfast was the best hangover cure ever
I swore if I ever got an expense account, it would be the first cool thing I did, eat breakfast (the Olympic) at a Little Chef on the way to some client site.
I managed it eventually and lived the dream. The Olympic breakfast did not disappoint.
Actually I miss the days of taking time to get to site, of a day of travelling (paid for by the client) at leisurely pace rather than this awful 'pass the stuff through the window' and gone at breakneck speed.Comment

As a kid I used to dream of the Olympic Breakfast, of course we were never allowed one. My dad would make us share one round of toast and one pot of tea between four of us.

If you're ever in France, check out the Buffalo Grill - it's about the closest you'll get to the Chef experience though, admittedly being France, the food is better. Le Menu Sheriff is the one to go for ;-)Comment

I'm sure I always got the "little spaceman" breakfast on long journeys to Cornwall holidays. Fried egg, sausage and deep-fried bread. I think I got to go as an adult maybe only once, as there was on near the A66 (Brough perhaps).
All about the lollipops though really.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

I quite liked the services near Chertsey when they first opened. No idea what they're like now.
The only other ones I've stopped at are somewhere on the M40 and probably Watford Gap.Comment
