The roadside restaurants were popular for generations

Certain generations will remember the excitement of pulling off the motorway to visit US inspired diner, Little Chef. It was back in 1958 that the first branch opened on Oxford Road in Reading and from there became an institution in the UK. Famous for their Olympic Breakfasts, which was their take on a full English, Little Chef boasted an extensive menu.

The building was later demolished and a Starbucks drive-thru was built on the grounds in September 2019. The Widnes branch stood on Fiddlers Ferry Road and took over the building which was originally a Happy Eater. This restaurant was also one of the first Happy Eater's to become a Little Chef. Happy Eater was a chain of restaurants in England and Wales founded by Sir Michael Pickard in 1973. The chain wanted to compete with Little Chef at the time.
