Lost burger bar 'better than McDonald's' was an absolute essential after boozy night in Manchester

People from Greater Manchester have been reminiscing about a lost fast food restaurant that some think sold better burgers than McDonald's.

It's been many years since a Wimpy last graced a high street in Greater Manchester. If you're craving a Wimpy burger, you'll have to travel to Huddersfield for the closest place to pick up one today.

Back in its heyday, you could find Wimpy restaurants on Market Street, Piccadilly Plaza, Salford, Sale, Bury and Altrincham to name but a few places. The chain was founded in the US in 1934, with the first UK Wimpy Bar opening in Coventry Street, London in 1954.
