Haven't been to a wimpy in about 35 years So when I came across this one I went and had a special with a tea followed by waffles and ice cream.

It wasn't the same as what I remembered when I was a kid. I find it the high street equivalent to a little chef. The service was okay, friendly enough. Atmosphere was ok, there wasn't a lot of people in from what I saw. The food was adequate, maybe I ordered the wrong meal, but sadly I do not like chip scuttle held chips with freshly cooked chips. It confuses my mouth and mind when you have one mouth which are hot but the next are near on the colder side of warm. The beans were hot though so that's a positive. Eggs overcooked in my opinion, bacon nah, bendy sausage,..nah. The chef/cook should know that her hair is not supposed to loose but needs to be under a hat or a hairnet, even both, Also I think you'll find that no jewellery is to be worn. Food Safety level 2. I'm surprised it has a high food on the doors score. When cleaning tables you are supposed to spray the cloth, not the table. People are allergic to sanitiser must/spray. It also has to have a 30 second wait time for the product to work. Saying all that, quite reasonable and my companions liked it.

Very kindly made me some food just before closing time and it was delicious, hot and plenty of it. Thank you

Food was decent but not for the price 32 pounds for 2 people for breakfast is very steep for quality of the food aswell Other than that everything else was pleasant

Nice meal and put a shot of espresso in the milkshake as requested, even if he thought it was a bit odd
