Remembering Glasgow’s Little Chef restaurants that once sat on roadsides

Once the king of roadside eateries, Little Chef spread across the UK in the 1970s - with several locations in and around Glasgow.

These days, if you’re craving a greasy breakfast or a plate of pancakes you’d have to head elsewhere with all Little Chef spots having shut up shop in 2018. The iconic red and white logo no longer stands beside our roads, but thankfully our memories remain strong.

Combining American style dining with British cuisine, the very first Little Chef opened way back in 1958 in Reading. The following decade, they began popping up across the country - though it wasn’t until the ‘70s that they really took off.
