1. A compromising position (Image 1 of 8)

From their first meeting Heston and big boss, Ian, haven't seen eye to eye with the chef concerned about the company's commitment. But with the clock ticking it's time to put aside their differences and get the menu on track. "I do believe Little Chef can be great again," vows Heston.

But so far only the breakfast menu is sorted leaving him with just three weeks to complete the other dishes. Because of the scale of the operation, Heston's recipes must be put together by a large food company. That means every time he makes a change, the food company has to make a new dish. And Heston wants a lot of changes.

"If I don't compromise we're not going to have anything to put on menu," he admits crestfallen. "There has to be a compromise."

Not keen on the communal table idea, this could be very intimidating to many people on their own. Please Little Chef DO NOT DO THIS in every restaurant!

Wow what a nice surprize. Great idea, Heston was human being with such a big heart. Yes this man has passion for food and poeple. I loved how he worked out the problem with his first trail chef from little chef. She wanted to quit but Heston hung in on her side and gave her the faith that she needed that was beleaving in her self. What I want to know is what happens after the three month period with the trail new restauarnt of little chef. Does little chef invest and build more new revamp little chefs and does Heston use more of his big heart and passion to move this project foward?

Big Chef takes on Little Chef, fantastic programme loved it! But what about the follow up that was promised? Has the follow up been aired and I've missed it? Is it ever going to be aired? Has it even been made? Someone please help and let me know.

Visited Popham Little Chef this week with my husband. We live locally and wanted somewhere different for lunch so thought we would try it out. At it turns out most of the people in there were local too. It was busy, staff were good and the food was excellent. Everybody at the central table were discussing each others meals! Apparently the waiter told me that there were couples going there for dinner on Valentines night - seems to me that Heston is on to a winner here. Personally, I think all the branches should do this, they should display Heston's endorsement as the opportunity for other branches to change at the same time was not taken up. The concept of Little Chef just as a travellers pit stop could change forever. We are going to visit with our teenage children next time as they love Hestons programmes about his innovative cooking.
