The Bring Back campaign is nothing without your thoughts and opinions. Leave your thoughts here on what you would like to Bring Back!
It could be anything from happy family holiday memories, fun in the school playground or your favourite kids shows, sweets or bands.
We’d also love to hear all about your fond memories of Little Chef, whether you stopped on a memorable family holiday to the coast, remember our fabulous lollipops and pancakes or maybe Little Chef is simply a big part of your life today? Tell us all about it!
Or, it may be you can’t remember who played Zammo in Grange Hill and it’s been bugging you for ages… This is the forum to post memories or simply ask the burning questions of the day – who shot JR? What were Snickers called before they were Snickers? Did you have a Space Hopper?
Oh, and it was Lee MacDonald. Zammo that is.

Bring back the happy times of simplicity with a trip to the seaside followed by chips, egg and sausage with a dessert of hot chocolate fudge cake with ice cream. This was mine and my sister's favourite treat, for no restaurant could ever replicate the taste and experience that the Little Chef gave us. Bring back our saturday morning cartoons that only kids of the late 80's and early 90's can appreciate and complete my little world of past happy days!

We always stopped at Little Chefs on long car journeys - the food was much nicer than 'Happy Eaters' (although they did have the play areas!!) I remember the kids menus - the space theme was my favourite with the 'Cosmic Chicken' !! I always had this EVERY SINGLE TIME followed by chocolate fudge cake and ice-cream. And if you finished it all you got a lolly. Oh, and please bring back the thick shakes - the chocolate was FAB!!

I have been using the Little Chef for many years. I used to visit them with my Gramps when we would travel to Lincolnshire, and now me and my husband would not eat anywhere else on any of our many road trips! You really are a true British Institution, Happy Birthday to you and here's to many more!!!

Memorabilia
Do you have any Little Chef memorabilia? It could be a photograph of one of our restaurants on a bygone journey, an early menu, a Little Chef early starter plate, mug or thimble! We'd love your images, and we’d love you even more if you could send in any memorabilia you may have. We will of course return all items to you. E-mail us and tell us about any Little Chef items of interest that you may have.
