Main Review

I have eaten at Little Chef a few times when travelling up North or down South, and have had varying experiences with their food.  In one Little Chef, the portions of the “Olympic breakfast” were so small we had to order extras to go with this, in another it was a really large portion and what you would expect for close to £8. 

Having a look at their cooking facilities (which are open to view) it seemed like no care was taken when it came to separating food, when cooking multiple orders it seems like you cannot be guaranteed that your food will not be cooked with a meat or non-vegetarian product as they seem to use the same grills and fryers for everything.

In conclusion, big choice of breakfasts but not so brilliant on the other options and desserts need to be clearly marked.
