Wimpy Restaurant - Westcliff-on-Sea in Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex ...

Wimpy is a much-loved UK fast food franchise serving a varied menu, with an emphasis on good quality ingredients, cooked fresh to order.

The first Wimpy restaurant in the UK opened in London’s Coventry Street in 1954.

Not that we called them restaurants back then of course.

Nope, way back then they were called ‘Wimpy Bars’ as they tended to occupy a special fast food section within the more established Corner House restaurants.

Along with a number of new look restaurants (with more being opened and re-vamped all the time) Wimpy have launched a new menu packed with old favourites like the classic Wimpy burger and ice cream sundaes and some new surprises like their tasty open burgers.

Meet The Man Who Has Been Eating Wimpy Every Day For 31 Years

"I’ve been eating Wimpy everyday for 31 years," Ziya says.

While the number of Wimpy branches across London may be in decline, Ziya reckons that business for him has stayed the same over the years.

Ziya's favourite burger, Wimpy aside, is from Red Dog in Shoreditch, but what does he think about *that* ubiquitous sexy-toppings burger chain?

"The Wimpy burgers' taste hasn’t changed in all the time I've been eating them – it's the same recipe.

He tells me with some pride that Wimpy were the first to introduce veggie burgers and there are two on offer on the menu, which any vegetarian will tell you is double the number of most burger joints.

DF / Mexico review – the bastard offspring of Wahaca and Wimpy ...

DF / Mexico feels like the template for a middle-class chain restaurant, the sort you could easily imagine slotting in next to a Leon or a Busaba in a Westfield shopping centre.

DF / Mexico, with one branch in the Truman Brewery and the one reviewed here on Tottenham Court Road, is a spin-off of Wahaca but one that feels as if it’s been designed by management consultants with flipcharts, focus groups and a thumping big book of market research and business jargon.

Wahaca’s increasingly sprawling menu is pared back to just a few favourites – tacos, burritos, tortas as well as fillings from those dishes slapped onto a sharing board.

Its lack of butteriness was actually welcome here though, given that the overwhelming majority of tortas I tried in Mexico used equally neutral tasting bread to allowing the fillings to take centre stage.

If DF / Mexico is the future face of Mexican food on the British high street, then I fear for the continuing reputation of Mexican cuisine in Britain.

Alounak, London W2, restaurant review - Telegraph

Please…” If one thing is certain to spoil an otherwise glorious meal, it is the querulous, whiny voice of a fractious child at a nearby table.

Unable to pick a nit with the decor (“I love that stained-glass door at the back”) or service (“quite charming”), boredom set in and a familiar gleam entered her eyes as they alighted upon the occupants of the next table.

The very word “kebab” is of Persian origin, so we majored in grilled meat – the two dishes we ordered were sensational.

Chelo kabab makhsous conjoined a strip of delectably fatty minced lamb with a thinly sliced lamb fillet, the pair served with salad (dotted with jalapeño peppers), and saffron-tinged rice.

We also shared the day’s special, chelo khoresh b adjeman, tender, flaky lamb casseroled with fried aubergine in a rich tomato sauce.

The Slow Death of Wimpy, a British Institution - VICE

He went into business with his older brother – an accountant who’d bought the Streatham franchise from Wimpy International a few years before – and soon took over the restaurant by himself, its existing staff replaced by friends and family.

In a strange quirk of fate, Burger King opened its first UK location, in 1977, on Coventry Street, where Wimpy had started some 23 years before.

By 1990, 200 Wimpy restaurants were fully converted into Burger Kings, though the Streatham branch floated on serenely.

As the new millennium approached, Wimpy languished at 283 branches, while Burger King had 605 and McDonald’s sped away from the pack with 990.

Even so, a 2002 Guardian article – inspired by yet another Wimpy management buyout and rebrand (a slightly garish yellow and green design) – confidently predicted a comeback for the beleaguered burger chain on the grounds that a new type of high street had opened up: “One catering for people who cannot afford to indulge in the sort of consumer splurging that is apparently fending off recession.”
