A few days ago I found myself walking down past a Little Chef.. Remembering they sometimes have little shops in the front of some of their restaurants (selling maps, drinks, crisps..) and suddenly realising how hungry and thirsty I was. So I figured I would pop in and grab a bottle of coke and a mars bar, thinking that at most it would cost me a pound fifty.
How wrong could I be. The coke alone (we are talking about a normal sized bottle here) was £1.40. One pound forty?? Back in the day you could have bought a house for that.
On top of that there was the Mars bar. The normal sized one cost about 80p. By the time I realized I didnt have £2.20 on me The guy at the till had already run it though and was waiting me to pay.
I had to do the walk of shame and put it back because I didn’t have the cash on me. I died a little inside that day.
On a slightly lighter note, their all day breakfasts are pretty much the best in the country (Although I admit that I havn’t tried every single one.. Yet). I don’t know what they put in their sausages but i’m pretty sure I could eat them all day.
So as a Little Chef summary:
- All day breakfasts: Good.
- Coke and a Mars Bar from the shop for £2.20: Bad.
