Re: Wimpy

I was always fond of the Shanty brunches in early 70's so vaguely remember the menu prices being in both old money and decimal

Re: Wimpy

That menu is great Danny. I'm a bit too young to remember that far back, i'm 36 but its still a real treat to read.

Re: Wimpy

I remember seeing Spicy Bean Burgers on the menu at Wimpy, & wondered what they were, & my Mum had to explain they were & that I probably wouldn't like them.

Re: Wimpy

we've had a Wimpy in Fraserburgh for as long as I can remember
and they're still busy, much prefer them to mac n burg king
because all the food is cooked fresh and it's done in front of ya
used to have loads of the beef eater badges too
allthough most of the staff now look about 13 years old ??

or maybe its cause I'm old LOL

Re: Wimpy

I really liked those spicy bean burgers! Im not a vegaterian but they were so tasty! Much nicer than Burger King or Mcdonalds. I always prefered Wimpy fries too. They actually tasted of something!

Re: Wimpy

Thats where I was brought up! Not Bowburn but Co. Durham! Small world.

although I'm born & bred Doncaster (dad's side were all miners), mum's side are originally from the North-East, and we still have family in Pelton Fell nr Chester-le-Street

back on thread....Spicy Beanburger? hmm I think you've answered a query I've always had in my head..I had a SBB in what I THOUGHT was a Burger King in Birmingham New Street station 1989 IIRC...I wondered why they weren't the same nowadays; cos it must have been a WIMPY one I had..cheers!!

Re: Wimpy

I'm sure those sausages were called 'benders' or even worse 'big benders!'. I used to love the spicy beanburgers. There was a Wimpy in MOTO services at Bowburn South Durham. It might still be open.

Re: Wimpy

My first Wimpy visit sticks in my mind - I'd never had a burger before, so I was looking forward to eating the, well, chunky sandwich. Didn't go for a beefburger in the end, though, since a gammon and egg number leapt out from the menu and just had to be mine.

So there I was, licking my lips, getting ready to eat my burger in a burger eating stylee.

Only for egg yolk to go all over me trousers.

Re: Wimpy

Used to love going to Wimpy as a kid. I remember the ketchup in a tomato shaped bottle, and I used to love their (round shaped) sausage.

Re: Wimpy

their website says there is one on Doncaster, but for the life of me I can't think where it is....must be inside 'another' building of some sort

I think its in the bowling place up near the dome area, although im not sure.

btw wasnt the round sausage called the big bender?
