"Absolutely disgusting! I have never been to a Wimpy before but something told me to try it this week. I looked at the menu online beforehand and persuaded my partner to eat there. Halfway through our shopping trip we stopped there for lunch. With the whole Covid situation, we were please that they were adhering to social distancing measures. Hand sanitiser on entry, as well as spaces between tables (there were only 2 other groups at the time, apart from that, it was empty). However, the table we were placed at was untidy. The floor had old chips and did not look like it had been swept all day. We were able to order quickly, our drinks arrived within 5 minutes then our food came soon after that. I ate one chip then noticed a long strand of hair across my plate. It was grey/blonde, my hair is black, so it was definitely not mine. Our waiter apologised and took the plate. My partner then found a similar strand of hair in his burger. Again, the waiter took his plate. We then decided we would not be eating there. We got ourselves ready to leave then the chef still had the cheek to ask if we were paying for the drinks. We had not even had 1/4 of our drinks. We didn’t end up paying anything. But you’d expect this place to be exceptionally clean due to the current pandemic but it was absolutely disgusting."

I have been visiting the Wimpy at Lakeside for years now. The staff is always friendly and the food is consistently delicious.

I have always loved Wimpey since the days I visited with my mum in Collier Row. Had a classic hamburger and chips plus a Cola Float. Excellent meal. More people need to visit, get on down there!

I hadn't visited this restaurant in a while, but all the other restaurants were busy with long lines. We were seated right away, with several tables closed off. We ordered 2 sandwiches, 2 burgers, and 2 orders of fries. The burgers and fries were good, but the sandwiches were not the usual ones we were used to, and both my daughter and I agreed we wouldn't order them again. Besides that, the service was excellent.

Staff acted like they didnt want to be here. They have masks on as you enter but then remove them when they take your order. Table service is super slow with staff hanging around the front counter on phones and talking.. Food was decent and well priced but the staff let it down so much we wont be returning. Also cramming people in so close to other familys our chairs where touching back to back. So very little covid safe changes.

Great,friendly attentive and polite staff. They take your order at the table like a restaurant/diner and served on crockery with cuttlery. It was Just as we remembered and as it should be (civilised) Drinks came quickly (in glasses) shortly followed by our food. Wow! The half pounders were huge and very filling and instantly it took us back to our youth. The milkshake was very thick which allowed the straw to stand up on its own. The chips/fries were crisp and hot. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal and a fantastic all round experience and service.

I went out for lunch with my mum, spur of the moment, and I have to say the staff were all so lovely and helpful! They couldn't do enough for you! The manager said they have recently hired a lot more staff, and everything was running so smoothly even though it was a very busy Sunday. The food was lovely and there wasn't a long wait at all, even if there was I wouldn't mind as every one was so nice. I looked on the lakeside website to leave a review too, if you can send me the link I'd gladly leave a review there too! Thanks to all of you today : xx

Wimpy at Lakeside Shopping Centre: My husband ordered a burger with chicken and a 1/4 pounder, but the chicken tasted boiled and the burger patty seemed pre-cooked and half raw. There was no seasoning used and the quick 3-minute service indicated the poor quality. My husband found it absolutely disgusting and couldn't even swallow it, leaving the whole burger uneaten. I had the bean burger which was also awful, leaving half of it uneaten as well. Wimpy should be ashamed of charging high prices for such low-quality food. If there was a zero rating available, it would still be too high, but we can only give it a 1. Stick to selling chips, Wimpy, because that seems to be all you can cook at the...

I'm not much for a bad review or moaning about services and am quite understanding but I visited wimpy as I used to go as a child and loved it so much however, the staff were so rude. Didn't give you a lot of time to order your food, when asked to be given another minute one of the girls huffed and walked away. The girls spent the whole time sat at the counter, talking between each other and laughing all I could hear the entire time I was there bad customer service. When went to pay at the til, we was waiting 5 minutes for them to finish there conversation and serve us. When the food came out the only nice thing was the chips. The burger tasted like fake meat and was really dry. Overall ther...

"I 'm not a vegan, hell I 'm not even vegetarian but that doesn 't mean you can 't eat vegan food and I do enjoy eating v/vg food regularly so my review is from the viewpoint of someone that simply looks at this type of food as, 'is it objectively good? ' rather than comparing it to meat alternatives because frankly you can get two drastically different pork sausage rolls so comparing vegan to meat is the wrong way to look at things imo. I 've been to Vegan Antics three times and tried their cupcakes, biscuit slices, sausage rolls, pasties, paninis and jacket potatoes. I have to say that I have broadly enjoyed everything that I 've tried from there. The tuna mayo jacket potato the first time really was excellent both in terms of flavour and texture and the pasties are soft, flaky and comforting. The biscuit slices were really good and the only items we were indifferent about were the cupcakes where the sponge had a slightly unusual flavour to it but this could be a one off and we 'll certainly try them again. I do plan on trying their other offerings such as the freakshakes and hot dog so I will update my review but overall I think it 's a great cafe offering excellent vegan food. Slightly marked down on service as whilst the staff are lovely and informative, it was quite a wait for my food despite pre-ordering but it looked like that might be down do the capacity of the equipment as opposed to anything else."
