We thought we were super cool, sitting on the bar stools at the counter, and drinking
Coca Cola out of ice cold glass bottles. The burgers were excellent, cooked to order, and always served in a toasted bun. No poncey salad and bun soaking sauces (at least not for me). |

By:
Very foward thinking offering a Bender Brunch imo.

Late that night
I park my car Ate my steak In the Wimpy Bar |
|
By:
The Wimpy Bar was a burger style version of Berni Inns Steak Bars
and Prawn Cocktail starters. Remember there was a Wimpy Bar in Newmarket High St, maybe still there (?) |
|
By:
There was one in Henley up until recently, poshest place in the world. Now I think it's a BettFred.
|
|
By:
As far as I can remember the Wimpy Bar was the first concept of fast food.
But now McDonald’s and Burger King have done it better and bigger. |
|
By:
I passed this on my travels the other week. I had to do a double take...I can confirm they are still going.

"By the late 80s, Wimpy’s owner, United Biscuits, gave up the fight and
put the chain up for sale. But new owner Grand Metropolitan turned out to be only interested in Wimpy for one thing - its prime high street counter-service sites - which were promptly rebranded as Burger King." I really don't know why the took the competition lying down. They had a really good product and they should still be on the High St today. |

By:
There is still one going in Doncaster.
|
|
By:
Still one in Birkenhead too, been there for donkey's years. Never been in it though; don't like the look of it.

I miss burger king, the only burger king in Sheffield town centre is in the train station and they stick a couple of quid extra on everything
While mcds and a shocking kfc both super busy |
|
By:
Wimpy are in a funny market place -
they sell burgers which is a poor man's food ,but the poor man goes to McDonald's |
|
By:
Often used to go to the Wimpy in Henley with my mates from sixth form college and the number of times people did a runner without paying just when we were in. Must have cost them a fair few quid by the end of the year.

Wimpy were great in their classic early 80′s heyday.
Good to know that some still exist. |
|
By:
There's one a few mins walk away from me in Welling, SE London. Also one in Bexleyheath, so I have a choice of Wimpy's.
|

By:
I had a Wimpy and chips in Southend last Sunday.I think they taste more or less just as they did in the sixties.Mc D came with all the fanfare of American authenticity but with a second rate product.Wimpy was always better.Its a mystery why they caved in so easily.
