The classic Wimpy loaded up: two rashers of streaky bacon, a slice of cheese and a fried egg added to the grilled onions, gherkins and relish, with a choice of creamy or chilli mayo. The egg makes it rich and properly messy. It is the order for a big lunch, and a good way to taste the relish with everything around it.

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.
