It wasn't the same as what I remembered when I was a kid. I find it the high street equivalent to a little chef.The service was okay, friendly enough. Atmosphere was ok, there wasn't a lot of people in from what I saw.The food was adequate, maybe I ordered the wrong meal, but sadly I do not like chip scuttle held chips with freshly cooked chips. It confuses my mouth and mind when you have one mouth which are hot but the next are near on the colder side of warm. The beans were hot though so that's a positive. Eggs overcooked in my opinion, bacon nah, bendy sausage,..nah.The chef/cook should know that her hair is not supposed to loose but needs to be under a hat or a hairnet, even both, Also I think you'll find that no jewellery is to be worn. Food Safety level 2.I'm surprised it has a high food on the doors score.When cleaning tables you are supposed to spray the cloth, not the table. People are allergic to sanitiser must/spray. It also has to have a 30 second wait time for the product to work.Saying all that, quite reasonable and my companions liked it.Wheelchair accessibility: You wouldn't be able to get to the back with ease. I don't think the 1.2m access accessible when you passed the first 3 tables

Do like a Wimpy. This one isnt my favourite, However it was very busy on a Saturday lunchtime. Bit heavy handed with the ketchup on the burgers (more ketchup than burger) and it was disappointingly Heinz rather than their own brand. Missing item off, of order but it was very noisy so perhaps wait staff misheard. In the middle of town shopping centre, this was a treat but next time will probably go to an alternative as the experience was disappointing.

Empty. Still can?t serve you. Do they just give you a menu and expect you to ESP your choice? Shouldn?t even be open as a restaurant with all the toilets out of order. Avoid like the plague.

Nice meal and put a shot of espresso in the milkshake as requested, even if he thought it was a bit odd ?

Compared to the Clacton branch food was much better quality and service was fairly quick however we had about 10 minute wait for my nephew's ice-creamVegetarian options: My sister in law had a veggie burger and it was much better quality compared to ClactonKid-friendliness: Very friendly staff towards my 6yr old nephew asked him what he wanted instead of just asking the adults

First thing I noticed was that the usual Manager was missing? Hopefully just on holiday or a day off, otherwise Wimpy will be the next restaurant closed. I took my five year old Grandson for lunch. I ordered two coke floats a cheese burger and chips and a bendy and cheese and chips. We were sat opposite the serving area when I saw my Grandson with a confused look on his face. The staff member was mixing the ice cream with the coke, which made it look like a Vanilla Milkshake. I asked "What are you doing?" They are supposed to be coke floats? Put the ice cream into the coke and floats, that's why it's called a coke float??? They then remake them properly. My Grandson is then served a Cheese Burger without any cheese? The waitress then takes the burger with her hand and puts a cold cheese square in the burger and hands it back to my Grandson?Nice venue, Poor Service by people who really haven't got a clue how to run a restaurant. I normally prefer Wimpy over any other burger restaurant in Colchester even though it is more expensive, but this potentially could be my last visit. Shocked at how bad this visit was!!!! Well seen the Manager and his Dad were absent as this would never had happened on their watch!
