Happy Eater
Whatever happened to Happy Eater?
We always used to stop there on our way down to Bristol when i was young... you used to get free games with the kids meals- i've still got a really annoying maze somewhere.
Seem to remember the quality being superior to little chef...
Do they still exist? If so, does anyone know where there is one?

Re: Happy Eater
nope, The brand ceased to exist in 1997 when Granada converted the restaurants into Burger Kings and Little Chefs.

Ah yeah I remember Happy Eater. Seems like ages ago now.

Re: Happy Eater
I hate having to stop at the roadside stops these days.The food is all overpriced and frankly not very nice for the arm and a leg it costs you. 
I'm not looking forward to the trip up to Wales on Thursday..

Re: Happy Eater
All I remember about Happy Eater was the logo - a litte red face of a man who looked like he was trying to make himself puke by sticking a finger down his mouth.

I like the greasy spoons, you get value for money and you get a good portion.

Quick still exists in France and Belgium - and jolly nice they are too. As there's no BK over there, it's one of the few to compete against McD's.

As for the Happy Eater logo, I always thought it was like PacMan..?
