Just enjoying a retro burger and shake at wimpy in Worthing.

Appears to be a busy, clean restaurant with enthusiastic, friendly and efficient staff

Burger as good as it was 30 years ago

It's a nice restaurant, prefer it to MacDonald's or Burger King.

Worthing - the only town that doesn't yet know that Wimpys disappeared years ago!

Indeed it does....but go a few hundred yards down the road and you get Big Mouths. A far nicer option.

Maybe it's just a Sussex thing then I remember going to the Worthing Wimpy 10 or 15 years ago, and was amazed to find one even then - hadn't seen one for years before that.

Mum always used to take me and my little brother into Wimpy when we were kids but only if we'd not been royal pains in the bottom whilst she dragged us around shops on a Saturday morning.

Wimpy Horsham is still thriving decades later whilst the town was too snobby for McD and it closed down.
