About us : Little Chef

A little bit about us

Little Chef has been a sign of good food for over 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 116 Little Chef restaurants, from Scotland down to Cornwall. You'll be in good company, over 10 million people eat with us every year.

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 10 million customers, serving them around:

3 million cups of tea
4 million rashers of bacon
5 million eggs
3 million sausages

Big bites for little people

Meals from just £3.45 take 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.

Free Wi-Fi

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.

Good 2 Go

If you need to keep moving, we offer a Good 2 Go menu at every Little Chef, so you can now choose your favourites to take away. Easy!
