Reviews summary

Wimpy in Watney Market has seen a noticeable decline in quality and value for money over the years, with high prices and poor food quality being major disappointments for customers. The service is lacking, and the prices are considered outrageous for a fast food joint. However, there are some positive experiences at other Wimpy locations, with friendly staff, clean facilities, and decent food making for a pleasant visit. The nostalgic atmosphere at some locations adds a unique charm to the dining experience. While Wimpy has a long history in the UK, it seems that consistency between locations may vary.

What Aaliyah Bonilla dislikes about Wimpy:

Wimpy is just not what it used to be when we were younger, or do we remember it differently? That bender sausage is so salty now I have to push myself to finish it : View all feedback.

Subject: Outstanding Service Feedback Lucy at Watney Branch Dear Wimpy Watney Management I recently visited your Watney branch and was incredibly impressed by the service provided by your team member, Lucy. Her service was truly awesome and made our experience exceptional. Exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and had a brilliant positive attitude. Went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed and were happy. Very efficient and attentive, even during a busy time. Made us feel genuinely valued as customers. Lucy's dedication and customer focus are a real credit to your team and the Wimpy brand. She is exactly the kind of employee that makes customers want to return. Please pass on our sincere thanks and commend her for her fantastic work! Sincerely B : Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Tried ordering a sausage and Hash brown muffin (with no egg) 2 fried eggs on 2 toast with 2 x glasses of orange juice. First all waitress couldnt understand what I was asking for. Then was confused as to why I was asking for no egg. Upon arrival of food I was Brought 2 x sausage muffins. Along with the fried egg on toast and when I said I only wanted 1 she looked confused. The glasses of orange juice the waitress was pouring them on show with labelled up £1 cartons of orange from the local shop with this store charging £2.40 a glass. Store was empty when it used to be heaving on a Monday morning store has really gone down hill. That being said the food was nice.

Loved their service to be honest. Not so much of a regular scenario in bengali restaurants. I had chai and it was great. Would love dine in for lunch or dinner at some point.

Didn't realise they have these still in London. Staff were extremely friendly and lots of diffrent options to pick from with lots of indoor seating. Unfortunately the food isn't halal and only one vegan option (Burger)

Super friendly staffs with warm greetings to all the customers. Greasy but fresh chips, tasty sausage hash browns muffins and chicken beef burgers. Amazing combination of hot toffee sponge with ice cream. Shame that we expected the berry shake to contain more natural ingredients cuz it taste too fake , not recommended. But definitely will visit here again for other meals! Very clean and neat dining space!

The wimpy in shadwell is a special place herr wimpy has worked there since 1977, and he owns the place. he is a very friendly man and other staff there are also so friendly; they bring them a time and ask for their children; it is simply not something they still get in these days; the decor is like it in the 70s and the music is at least 20 years old. it feels like a little laped from the evil world out there; where you have a cup tee and some fry up...and yes it is not the healthiest of food, but they can say that eating is prepared with love and is actually quite delicious; it is quite expensive; but it is only the atmosphere that makes it a special place. long life heart wimpy
