[@NikkisNosh]

I remember Wimpy in the 60s was a very badly run franchise of an American chain where almost any greasy spoon signed up for the branding but carried on with their low-standards greasy spoon ways and the modern enforcement of franchise standards was lacking. Strangely, the Wimpy EMEA (rest of world other than North America) Master Franchise was bought by J Lyons in 1953, they of the pre and post-war Lyons Corner Houses, the epitome of silver service catering for the masses and then a chain of tea shops selling their high-end tea, coffee and sticky buns. Their factories made cakes and buns for their tea shops and also sold direct to consumers via growing chain supermarkets like Tesco and Sainsbury's. The company was innovative in business and when they 'stuck to the knitting' were incredibly successful despite being largely a family-owned and run business. But their eye was not on the ball running what was the very first UK national fast-food franchise, Wimpy. It rather did for Wimpy really and it actually was used by the big USA brands to move in and say they were different and better run and under Lyons control Wimpy survived from 1953-76. Since then, the Lyons company has been sold and re-sold and split into component parts and one operates Main Franchises of more confectionery/baked goods offers - Baskin-Robbins and Dunkin Donuts - both better run but still in the second tier of fast food franchises in my personal opinion. By 1989, with only 140 outlets, the Wimpy UK brand had fallen into the hands of Grand Metropolitan (now Diageo) who also owned Burger King and so all the Wimpy outlets were converted to Burger King - a better known and more successful brand and to a lesser extent outlets called Dr Beaks, an erstwhile competitor to KFC which never seemed to get any traction and faded away. Meanwhile, the old Wimpy brand had been growing from strength to strength in South Africa with 453 outlets and now owned by the SA group - Famous Brands, acquired the Master Franchise for Wimpy EMEA in 2007 and beginning in the Noughties began to open new outlets of Wimpy in the UK as well as across the Middle East. The UK now has about 64 outlets of Wimpy but they still seem to be located in low-rent as opposed to prime locations. If you have any memories of the old 60s-70s Wimpy or the newer reincarnations, please put your recollections in the Comments section.

[@GreenoEats]

Blimey, that is a very comprehensive history, thanks for that 🙂

[@JacknVictor]

Our wimpy in Scunthorpe didn't end up as a burger king it was turned in to a McDonald's franchise mid 80s, all the same staff etc worked there, even the interior wasn't changed much, but it offered inferior burgers and chips to the wimpy.. The last wimpy I went in to was about 15 years or so ago in Barking train station.

[@paulbreslin2263]

If your children are telling you they don’t mind you putting your fingers all over their food and handing it back to them partially eaten, they’re just being nice. I would never go out to eat with you again.

[@paulbreslin2263]

@@Phil-jz8gs My comment makes perfect sense. As a father of 3 boys I also shared food with them from time to time, but I wouldn’t handle their food and molest it and then hand it back to them and be like “ thanks, here you go. Enjoy “ . Especially if Im treating them at a restaurant. Don’t be cheap and buy your own damn food. Hands touching any denomination of money has nothing to do with the fact that most people wash their hands before eating and then handle money. Plus I never brought up germs. I am simply saying that if you take your kids out for dinner, it’s their dinner not yours. Or did you put stipulations on it like “ hey girls how would you like to go out to dinner? Only one catch, I have to take a bite or two out of everything you order first in order to make my video “ C’mon man that’s just cheap

I had no idea Wimpy still existed. I remember going there in the 1960s. I seem to remember that the burgers used to come from a tin back then, but that was all we knew. I don’t think I’d be tempted to try Wimpy again. Wonderful view, btw.

I think it depends on which branch of Wimpy. I live in South London and our local Wimpy does a roaring trade. It is never empty and on Friday afternoons and Saturday you are lucky to get a table. They are also on Deliveroo and do well on that.

Found myself chewing & chewing & chewing...& realised I had distinct flavour of spearmint...think you know what's coming!....Yep, lump of chewing gum in with the peas & carrots & mayo Swore never again would I go to Wimpy...until a few weeks back. 50 years on, there was no chewing gum but the bendy didn't taste at all like I remembered & the burger was just like a rubber ball! Might be another 50 years before I return!! Ha! Ha!🙃😄 Glad you & your girls enjoyed it though Greeno! x J x

Such found memories of Wimpy, the first 'fast food' restaurant I ever ate at having moved to the UK as a kid. The "bender in a bun" (the world has gone PC mad in my humbled!) was a go-to purely because I grew up in Germany and a frankfurter was a staple for us. Excellent review, now to 'binge' the rest!!

[@GreenoEats]

Going in there was like travelling back to the 1980s for me!

[@englishcat19]

Every time me and mother went to kings Lynn it would be a Wimpy lunch, this was late 70s/early 80s, 2 burgers and chips and a knickerbocker glory for afters, couldn’t see down to the far end due to all the cigarette smoke. Then in 1978 we went to Norwich and stopped in the brand new branch of McDonald’s, had burger and chips in there and I’ll never forget mothers words “eating out of a bloody egg box and no knives or forks, this place will never catch on”

[@timbounds7190]

The thing about a historic Wimpy bar (of course this was back in the days before people invented customer service), was that you sat down, a waiter came to you and took your order, and the food was cooked to order for you. Nowadays, now we have modern customer service, you go to Mcwotsit burger, stand in line for long period, get given some precooked food, and you are supposed to clear up after yourself! I haven't eaten in a Wimpy for decades, but compared to Mcwotsits, I'd pick Wimpy every time!

[@GreenoEats]

We did still get table service, so that was a positive, plus cutlery and plates. The food was basic but adequate.

[@simonbaker5972]

Love your reviews Greeno! Just found your channel. Oh what memories! In the 70’s my mum would take us there for our birthday. I always had the Wimpy Grill. I loved the sweetcorn relish, tomato relish and gherkin relish they used to have on the tables. And dessert was always a Banana boat or Knickerbocker Glory. For some reason, the Brown Derby and ice cream were for the adults! 😂. Other than the odd fish and chips, we never really had fast food.

[@GreenoEats]

Yes, it was a real treat back in the day wasn't it. Most of the fast food we had was at home (my Mum was a whizz at knocking up eggs, chips and beans for dinner!)

[@davidwalters313]

[@davidfinch5062]

What a bit of nostalgia. I remember being taken to the "Wimpy Bar" as they were known then more than fifty years ago now. I'm sixty-five. The sausage was called a "bender" and on the menu was something called a "bender egg brunch" which I think was a fancy way of saying: sausage, egg and chips. Also they had the exotic delights of a brown derby and rum baba for dessert. Gosh, how time has flown by.

[@GreenoEats]

It has indeed - although the menu isn't much different there now than it was back 50 years ago!!

[@Sar1386]

The licking of the palm of his hand and putting it back on someone else’s burger turned my stomach, regardless whether it’s your child or partners burger I think most of us wouldn’t want someone to lick their palm then touch our food. Other than that in all honesty I was surprised to see that the meal prices are only about £2 more than when I went there the first time 15 years ago when I was a teenager. I only went a couple of times but remember thinking it was expensive essentially for lower quality than Burger King at the time and they charged nearly double BK prices. I’m surprised to see there was a meal deal for £9 that really good as I paid £10 for a burger and chips no drink 15yrs back. I live in London so yes things are more expensive but with inflation being what it is and wimpy never being cheap for what u get I don’t think it was bad for wimpy. When u start comparing other places that have the same standard food or higher is when it doesn’t seem decent but that’s because you’re paying for the name not for the subpar food.

[@GreenoEats]

I was careful to only touch the burger with my fingers after I licked that mayo, although I agree it’s hard to see that on the video. As for Wimpy, I just think you can get similar food cheaper elsewhere, or better food for that same money. It’s basically cheap cafe food for Five Guys prices.

Yeah, I think in many parts of the world the expansion of other fast food burger joints killed them off. The Greenager did check out The Warning, said she thought they weren't bad, but there was something about the singer's voice which she wasn't a fan of, but couldn't put her finger on.

OMG Greeno, what have you done making this clip, the last time i went to Wimpy was in 1973 and i was 7, my dad took me out for my Birthday as my mam was away for a very important job interview. I still have the receipt from Weybridge in Surrey to this day. My dad had the Wimpy grill at 36p I had a cheeseburger at 21p and then the Knickerbocker Glory at a massive 25p After drinks etc the total bill was a massive £1-01p. The sausage you talk of was called the Bender then, i remember it well, as you could have a Bender in a bun which us kids then thought so funny. As was the tradition in those days i was sick later after eating so much🤢 Chris.

This one is difficult for me 😥As a child, I grew up in Dublin, but whenever we came over to London my dear mother would always (without question or exception) treat us to a Wimpy; it was my treat for every trip we had to make to London. Now as a 50+ adult (no, I will not define the +) I still need (need not want) to frequently visit London; in fact I am in London about 60% of the time for work and when not working I am in Dublin. I am lucky enough to live within easy distance of 2 Wimpy restaurants; there used to be 3 but one closed to be replaced by a typical curry house 🤮 Greeno, your order for yourself was so close to mine! Great minds think alike! I hate it when reviewers review Wimpy and judge i solely on a burger; you need to try one of their mixed grills to get the full picture! My "always and never changing order" is a Wimpy Grill (not International, so no bacon and no lettuce) and a "Coke"! Whomever wants to start a disagreement between "Coke" and "Pepsi", I shall gladly ignore you! I then always follow it with a Brown Derby and a Filter Coffee. So my bill is always £20+ just for me. However, for me it is about memories of my best childhood moments and they are priceless! So if it was £100+ would I pay it? Probably yes! Albeit less often. Currently and on average I go to Wimpy once every week; usually on a Wednesday since that is their special deals and new item launch days; even if the price is irrelevant to me, I am no eejit. 😝 If I want a Pork Bender, I will order a Pork Bender. Bendy my @$$ Given the other unsavoury use for the word "Coke", will they ban people from using that word and throw them out? The whole world has gone mad with all this PC nonsense! So it is always going to be a 5/5 or 10/10 etc "trip down memory lane" from me, but I totally respect your 3/5 without question, so thank you for the review and the "Greeno Green Light". And thank you for not just relying on a boring old cheese burger for the review; as too many often do, because although there is nothing wrong with a Wimpy cheese burger and I do like them as a quick takeaway snack, that for a review would have been a bit daft. 👍

[@GreenoEats]

As always, thanks Gary for your interesting comment. It's been fascinating to me this evening to read so many people's memories of Wimpy from back in the day. I am pleased it evoked happy memories of your childhood trips - although it seems with your continued visits to Wimpy you didn't really need me to do so :-) I am glad I took the kids with me, firstly because it meant they got to share in my nostalgia for the place, but also that it meant I could order 3 different things to try (I would have gone for the International Grill anyway) - they enjoyed the food too. A bit like yourself, I will always order a Coke, even if I know they only have other brands - for me there are certain things which transcend brands.... my Dyson is a hoover for example :-) Having tried it for the first time in years I will return, not so much because I think it is great quality food, but just because of the memories it evokes for me too, and to be fair the kitchen did a decent job with the ingredients they were given.
