Staff seem to be mostly Spanish, kids seem to be leaving, still most of the tables are occupied. Stereo is playing Sweet Harmony by The Beloved, always a favourite. let's see what's on the menu.https://i.postimg.cc/Rh01JDZw/20230113-154751.jpg

chose the "bendy with cheese" - a little disappointed that it isn't called a "bender in a bun" now, but relieved that I can ask for it without difficulty.https://i.postimg.cc/J7yvF6qs/20230113-155141.jpgsausage is good, meaty, tomato is mealy, too many onions, bread is nasty, like the cheapest rolls from the supermarket, actually crumbles as I eat. I'll give it a 5/10

they started playing Shape Of My Heart, so I made my excuses and left.

Last Wimpy I had was at a service station en route home from Reading festival in like 2003 or so. Bun was brown and stale and gross.

last nostalgia Wimpy i had might have been around the late 2000s. normally i'd say no such thing as too much onions but given these had the texture and flavour of boiled sellotape i'd make an exception

My mate Paul worked in Stevenage Wimpy and used have to put on the Mr Wimpy costume for kids parties and have the shit kicked out of him by sugar-crazed nippers.

yes, the onions were still like boiled sellotape, no idea how / why you do that to a poor onion.

wonderful revive. still laughing at adam faith. still laughing at boiled sellotapeaesthetic charming, bun looks heinous, menu doing too much. recalls french outlet flunch somehowhad a small fight with an ex once because he went on a longed-for nostalgia visit to the nearest wimpy without me while I was on a very prohibitive diet. thought it was brazen at the time, but in retrospect it was the low blood sugar / yearning for a bendy colouring my thinking.

i think the spicy beanburger is the only thing i miss and would cautiously revisit

I don't think I've posted this before - UK competitive eater Beard Meats Food tackles pretty much the full Wimpy menu at the Milford, Stafford branch a couple of years ago. It's a curious wee shack rather than a sit in restaurant, for added novelty.

THAT'S MY CHILDHOOD WIMPY!!

and yes, it's a shack. but then Milford is basically a pub and a row of houses
