小厨师链由Sam Alper 1958年创立, 于2018年关闭了Hampshire的最后一个位置, 标志着该地区时代的终结。 The Little Chef chain, founded in 1958 by Sam Alper, closed its last Hampshire location in 2018, marking the end of its era in the region. 曾经是英国旅行者的主食,其标志性的"胖查理"吉祥物和一致的菜单,由于饮食习惯的变化,快速休连锁店的竞争以及未能实现的现代化努力,包括2009年由赫斯顿·布鲁门塔尔进行的菜单改造,因此它下降了. Once a staple for British travelers with its iconic "Fat Charlie" mascot and consistent menu, it declined due to shifting dining habits, competition from fast-casual chains, and failed modernization efforts, including a 2009 menu revamp by Heston Blumenthal. 欧元车库在2017年收购了剩余的70个地点,将大多数重新命名为EG Diners或将其转换为星巴克,格雷格斯和其他连锁店,有效地结束了小厨师的名字. Euro Garages acquired the remaining 70 sites in 2017, rebranding most as EG Diners or converting them to Starbucks, Greggs, and other chains, effectively ending the Little Chef name. 一些旧地点仍保留下来,被重新定为住房或新企业,只保留了曾经无处不在的路边机构的实际记忆。 Some former locations remain, repurposed into housing or new businesses, preserving only a physical memory of the once-ubiquitous roadside institution.
