From the Big Eat range: two beef patties with a slice of cheese, grilled onions, gherkins, lettuce and relish. Doubling the meat makes the relish a supporting act rather than the star, and it becomes a hearty, straightforward double cheeseburger.

About Wimpy
Edward Gold opened the first Wimpy Grills in Bloomington, Indiana, in 1934, naming it after J. Wellington Wimpy, the Popeye character who would gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today. In 1954 the British caterer J. Lyons licensed the name, and Wimpy Bars spread across the UK, giving many Britons an early taste of the American hamburger, served at the table.
More than 450 restaurants in South Africa, around 60 in the United Kingdom, and a few across Africa and the Middle East.
