What happened to UK restaurant chain Little Chef?

  • 10 months ago
Roadside restaurant chain Little Chef first launched in 1958 and had around 439 locations at its peak.

Many of these were located on motorways and A-roads near a Travelodge or Burger King.

Some - like this Nottinghamshire restaurant - featured unique architectural designs.

After 2000, it seems the emerging fast-food model, rising prices, and customer dissatisfaction led to a decline

Attempts later in the decade to save the brand were futile and by 2018 it stopped operating.
