A little bit about us
Little Chef has been a sign of good food for 50 years, with restaurants right across the UK.
Where it all began...
The first Little Chef opened in Reading in 1958, the same year Britain got its very first motorway. From 11 seats, we've grown to become one of the UK's favourite roadside restaurants.
Today's Little Chef
We have 162 Little Chef restaurants, from Scotland down to Cornwall. You'll be in good company, over 20 million people eat with us every year.
You'll find our familiar sign on most major UK A-roads and of course, on many motorways.
Good food on the go. It's what we stand for
Our aim is very simple: to be the motorist's friend, serving up quality food and offering great value for money. Expect freshly prepared food, using the best ingredients we can buy. Enjoy a welcoming, informal setting and watch out for some new additions to our menu like our Tasty Toasties and Fish and Chips – helping you beat the rush hour (and the hunger pangs).
Anything but little!
Each year we welcome over 20 million customers, serving them around:
- 10 million cups of tea
- 12 million rashers of bacon
- 10 million eggs
- 13 million sausages
Big bites for little people
Just £4.25 takes care of your children under 10 - our popular kids' menu even includes two scoops of Bradwells Dairy ice-cream. See our kids menu for more information.
Business travellers
Little Chef has always been a favourite with business people on the move. Whether it be the place to refuel, meet colleagues or catch up on calls. At almost every Little Chef you can now connect to the internet - without the wires and completely free of charge.
Take it away
If you need to keep moving, we now offer a takeaway menu at every Little Chef, so you can now choose your favourites to take away. Easy! Alternatively, at a selection of Little Chef's you'll find Coffee Tempo! serving great tasting coffee, sandwiches and baguettes, ideal if you're looking to 'grab and go'.
Beds & breakfasts
At many locations we sit alongside Travelodge Hotels and after a good nights sleep, what better way to start the morning than with a tasty breakfast at Little Chef.
