Restaurant chain eyes more growth

Just what the country needs more gut busting junk food for the fatties to OD on.
More expensive for the NHS and DWP
Where's the real jobs and real industries?

As with most chains you can be sure of what you will get. scunthorpe bad expensive food , skegness bad expensive food, wakefield bad expensive food, and reading the comments below, this theme seems to be fairly consistent throughout their brand. Never again will I visit one of their outlets, personally I think they would be wiser to invest massively on improving the current sites than opening more of the same.

Expensive dross with happy birthday ringing in your ears every 15mins from wailing staff, never again

Growth in eating out vs a zero growth economy? More disposable income? Must be the public sector.

Beats me how this "boil in a bag" outfit can call itself a restaurant. Last time I eat at one of their places, and not for the first time, the food was lukewarm badly cooked, and to a table of eight served over a period on five minutes (we were the only one's in the place). Best they could do was say how sorry they were, and hoped we would come back again. No chance!!

eating out in the UK is still very expensive compared to the US and Canada and our waiting staff still arn't trained in how to talk to customers.I've only been to Frankies once at GATESHEAD it was noisy and very expensive not a dining experience I would like to re live.

I find Frankie & Benny much too loud even if the food Is good you can hear to make your order

Chiquito's well what can I say, we used to go to the one at Xscape in West Yorks, there they had good meals to start with, then the price went up and the portions got very much smaller, then to cap it all my daughter had a steak that wasn't very nice, so she complained and the waitress said: ....wait for it....why don't you just go somewhere else?
Charming eh?, so not been back for over 2 years, the place doesn't do well anymore...I wonder why?
