Fabulous!!Just popped in today as needed something quick. We had looked in a few other places and were either ignored or directed to dirty seats or loud blaring music made it impossible to talk.Wimpy gave us a great welcome as soon as we walked in, were prompt with service, coffee was really good and the food arrived quickly and just hit the spot. All the staff were smiley and friendly.Thank you so much?

Went in there at 5pm today. The staff were cleaning the floors and told us it was take away only. It closes at 6. There is no sign on the door or note online saying you can't eat in at 5pm. The staff weren't polite at all. They said it was the manager's decision. Obviously they just wanted to get out of work at 6.

Freshly cooked food with waiter/ waitress service. Prefer Wimpy to the big American burger chains any day!

Spicy bean burger delicious, a pot of tea which is always a plus and table service by very polite staff.

It wasn't the same as what I remembered when I was a kid. I find it the high street equivalent to a little chef.The service was okay, friendly enough. Atmosphere was ok, there wasn't a lot of people in from what I saw.The food was adequate, maybe I ordered the wrong meal, but sadly I do not like chip scuttle held chips with freshly cooked chips. It confuses my mouth and mind when you have one mouth which are hot but the next are near on the colder side of warm. The beans were hot though so that's a positive. Eggs overcooked in my opinion, bacon nah, bendy sausage,..nah.The chef/cook should know that her hair is not supposed to loose but needs to be under a hat or a hairnet, even both, Also I think you'll find that no jewellery is to be worn. Food Safety level 2.I'm surprised it has a high food on the doors score.When cleaning tables you are supposed to spray the cloth, not the table. People are allergic to sanitiser must/spray. It also has to have a 30 second wait time for the product to work.Saying all that, quite reasonable and my companions liked it.Wheelchair accessibility: You wouldn't be able to get to the back with ease. I don't think the 1.2m access accessible when you passed the first 3 tables

Been coming to colchester whimpy for year but unfortunately had a awful experience with the young manager yesterday he was very rude I asked for a breakfast muffin which was burnt and complained about which obviously he didn't like so I asked for the man who has always been the manager there hes a lovely man, anyway, this young manager accused me of being racist about the other manager not sure why to be honest I think it's just because I complained about the burnt food and he didn't like and was trying to play at being a grown up and thinking he was important, it was really dirty in there yesterday too and the toilet was filthy no soap or toilet paper not been cleaned for days. I really hope the other nice manager comes back.
Do like a Wimpy. This one isnt my favourite, However it was very busy on a Saturday lunchtime. Bit heavy handed with the ketchup on the burgers (more ketchup than burger) and it was disappointingly Heinz rather than their own brand. Missing item off, of order but it was very noisy so perhaps wait staff misheard. In the middle of town shopping centre, this was a treat but next time will probably go to an alternative as the experience was disappointing.

Empty. Still can’t serve you. Do they just give you a menu and expect you to ESP your choice? Shouldn’t even be open as a restaurant with all the toilets out of order. Avoid like the plague.
