Scottish motorway services

[TomC]

We have made it to Scotland!

Just stopped off for a better than expected Wimpey burger.

Two questions

What's your favourite Motorway services fast food outlet?

And

What ever happened to Mr Wimpey?

Mr Wimpey is still building as far as I know

as for the other, still going:

used to like Wimpys, they would do egg burgers, now no difference between them any the rest,

 

[Whereditgo]

McDonald's breakfast menu.....love them sausage and egg mcmuffins .....and lashings of coffee - only trouble with the coffee is that it is always hotter than the sun and you are in the next county before you can drink it!

Oxford services are pretty good, you can get pretty much anything you want in there then sit beside the water feature which drowns out the noise of the motorway.

I use to love Mr Wimpy but always laughed if I ate in and they brough a knife and fork over. Its a burger - not fillet steak

 

[madandra]

We still have a Wimpy in Motherwell and I am BURGERED if I can recall my last visit ????


I tend to avoid the robbing B'stards at service stations and would rather pull off the motorway (Penrith is good for choice) and pay a reasonable fare for food.

Heading for Turnberry I would load up at Morrisons in Ayr for the wee jaunt south.

Wimpy half pounder, in a toasted bun with cheese, loads of onions and a touch (just a touch) of ketchup. Preferably dripping with fat. And Wimpy chips are best, proper potato not chopped and shaped like McDonalds.
Failing that, a nice salad.

Me and my best mate got banned from the Wimpy in High Wycombe 30 years ago for asking a waitress if she did everything with relish...........

 

[Basher]

I don't do motorway service station fast food outlets. Too blody expensive and a complete rip off.

If I'm so hungry during a journey I'll pull off and find a supermarket. The likes of Tesco, Sainsbury and Asda do cracking fod in their restaurants, at a good price too!

I am a Yorkshireman! ££££££££££

HID wondered why I suddenly chuckled to myself

Remember a place in Truro from years ago (might have been a Wimpy in the days when they did more than burgers).

We were in there, it was raining so in no hurry, when a 'gentleman of the road' came in.

Sat quietly by the door, ordered the first item on the menu, ate that then ordered the second, and continued right through the entire menu. Then got up and quietly left, without paying. Must have been three or four staff and the lot of them just stood there dumbfounded.

They did get a bit annoyed at us, we were doubled up laughing, mostly at the looks on their faces.

Little chef do a mean burger. Can't remember what they call it, but it is pretty good.

Little chef do <u>a mean burger</u>. Can't remember what they call it, but it is pretty good.

smaller than average?

 

[USER1999]

It is not that mean, but the other mean. But that could be average, which it isn't either. Hmm.

Don't do motorway services.

Couldn't eat the crap they ALL serve up.

I take my own drinks with me, snacks too. If I pull into a services, it's generally for a slash and back on the road again.
