Popeye's chum

Myself and Paula have both been off work today so we decided to go into town to do a spot of Christmas shopping and other essential errands.
We were getting a little peckish around lunchtime so I suggested we go to the Wimpy. Newark doesn't have a McD or Burger Monarch in the town centre, which is great. And Paula hasn't eaten at a Wimpy in decades - in Newark it's a kind of rite-of-passage. There's something quite quaint about Wimpy - there's waitress service, crockery, cutlery and everything's cooked to order. The food's hardly great cuisine but into everyone's life a little rubbish food must fall. And it tastes okay.
Two slight disappointments though: 1) they haven't reversed their totally wrong decision to drop the classic knickerbocker glory from the menu 2) the tomato ketchup isn't dispensed from tomato-shaped squeezy bottles, instead they're corporate-branded Heinz bottles.
Anyway, it made a nice change. Even though the restaurant itself could do with a bit of a freshen up, decor and fittings wise.
Support your Wimpy!
