I don't eat at fast food joints or have takeaways since my health problems last year. If I'm travelling I tend to take fruit and sandwiches and avoid these types of places like the plague.

used to eat there with my parents (and siblings) occasionally when I was a kid and we were on the way back/to somewhere. Never remember them being that bad back then (early 80's)

Had an olympic breakfast a few years ago at a 24hour little chef near Dover (it was the only place open at 3am), as breakfasts go it was pretty good. Still, judging by the state of the staff and the restaurant I wouldn't want to chance it again

Nice one. LOL.

When I used to be a technical manager, used to get dragged round the country solving reps problems for me and we invariably ended up eating at these places

The food was at best edible, and I put on pounds. I was embarrassed to say I could order without seeing the menu

The only exeption was with a sales manager in the south east He reckoned he wouldn't feed his dogs the food that served there so we always ended up having expense account lunches in Michelin starred restaurants

I still put on the pounds though!

Anyone remember the company logo for the Happy Eater restaurants? It looked like someone sticking their finger down their throat. I'm sure that wasnt the original intention.

Did you see that bit on Big Chef Little Chef where some woman complained that there were no pictures of the food on the menu, claiming that some of the clientele probably could not read?

nuff said, innit

crap poll - I have eaten in a little thief very occasionally, but every time I do it I remember why I don't.

All that is great about UK motorway services, low quality of food and service at a premium price.

At worse they can be like eating in a toilet

like the food?

[bogeyman]

wheres the option for "eaten there once and will never again"

Ditto.

Expensive and horrible. Full of people who make you feel slightly grubby just by being in the same room.

Occasionally. The breakfasts are generally good, as is the coffee, although over priced.
