I’ve been to Nando’s once, the one at Xscape near Castleford. They had run out of chicken and I’ve never been back since. Love me a Burger King XL double cheeseburger.
McDonalds for double sausage & egg mcmuffin meal on the odd Sunday morning, their Signature Spicy burger is actually really nice to IMO (vs just something to stave off hunger for 30 minutes that the rest of the burgers seem to be for).
Nandos I keep making the mistake of trying something other than a plate of wings and end up disappointed
Wimpy. was my childhood fave. Burger & chips followed by a brown derby.
Now partial to a Comptoir Libanais.
Flame away but I’m a fan of Starbucks,
but the coffee is terrible over-brewed dish water though. 😆
Being a Devon local I"m lucky enough to have the Rockfish chain close by, unbeatable fish and unlimited chips.
KFC 3 piece also a strong contender but always surprised that Nandos is so popular, strikes me as quite bad vfm.
McDonalds strawberry shake and double cheeseburger. 😀
(Oh and their DoubleSausage and Egg McMuffin too.)
Jamie's Italian is a bit shite.
When you say 'a bit' I assume you actually mean 'unrelentingly awful'? The one (and only) time I have eaten there I had undercooked pasta (great move from an Italian restaurant) and a tiramisu that more closely resembled an orange-flavoured swiss roll.
And the seats? By christ they were uncomfortable – it was almost like they didn't want you to sit down and enjoy your meal in a leisurely manner, just get your money and move you on as soon as they could.
It's been a couple of years Johndoh, but aye, pretty much that. 😀
Overpriced bella pasta.
Been to Jamie's once, never again. The worst meal I have ever had the misfortune to pay for. I know it's cooked by convicts, but prison food would be far nicer..

I've always thought this aswell. But they serve food and if I'm hungry I'll eat it. The same as every other chain restaurant, I've never had anything I found inedible. If I want really nice food I generally make it myself or go to good independents.
I'm guessing the 'chain foods you dislike' thread has dropped off page 1 😉
So back on track, my mornings at work wouldn't be the same without a Gregg's omelette bap after my cycle in.
And McDonald's apple pie has always been a delight for me.
More local chains we have Bird's the Baker's, Stacey's and George's fish n chips; they all deliver cracking food.
With the exception of my annual XL Bacon double cheeseburger I try and avoid chains, but my OH is common as muck so I will get dragged into one on occasion.
Pleasantly surprised by Bill's.
Had a nice butler steak (flat iron).
They did lose points for not serving the sirloin that my OH wanted as we were fifteen minutes too early for the evening menu it appeared on. I would have kicked off except I really wanted her to try the butler's anyway.

True, forgot about Bill's, had a very nice breakfast in the St Albans one.
On the subject of Nando's, their veggieburgers are pretty decent.
Talking of veggieburgers, I always liked the Wimpy spicy beanburger. Not had one for years and years so it's nice to see the chain is making a comeback.
Bills. I went to the first one before it became a chain then went years later to a different one and it was an even better eating experience.
