Gabbots Farms

edited February 2014 in Chit chat
Don't know about you lot but I prefer a bag of ribs or a bit oc hot chicken from Gabbots Farms to McDonalds and one of the great things about Gabbots is that they do ****ing great zinger wings.

Either I've grown out of McDonalds or I've somehow gone off them.

    Never heard of Gabbots before; but I used to enjoy a Wimpy burger. I remember a minty flavored one they used to do...yum.
    There's not really any around where I live anymore though.
    Looking at the Wimpy map; I'd have to drive about 30 miles to get one.

    never heard of them.

    usually get a sarnie if im out and about.

    out local butchers do an amazing hot beef sarnie, but you really need a knife and fork for that. :lol:

    Going off McDonalds? You should never have been "on it" in the first place.

    That's number one on my "Never eat from" list.

    So far it goes...

    McDonalds.
    KFC.
    Hardees/Carl's Jnr.
    Wendy's.
    Burger King (I like it, but I haven't eaten anything from there in over 3 years, so might as well continue to not eat from there).
    Every night is curry night!

    Sorry, Gabbots Farms're a chain of butchers that do a good line in cold meats, pork pies, hot snacks and a good rotisserie (you've GOT to try their zing wings/ribs/hot and spicy/barbecue/Chinese chicken legs or drumsticks.
    Here's the link:-

    I've only ever ONCE had a McDee's burger, and i felt like the guy "D-FENS" (Michael Douglas' character in the movie "Falling Down") - Never again MD, no sireee!

    I think I saw a Wendy's when I visited Australia once. Maybe it was just coincidence the shop had the same name?

    No, we had one round my way a while back. We had an Arby's here too. Neither of them lasted very long here though, not sure how they got on throughout the rest of the UK...

    I ate a KFC once, and it turned me vegetarian for 10 years.

    I think Wendy's was more present in Europe a long time ago, we certainly had one here in Cologne in the 80s/early 90s, but they've totally vanished ...

    Boozey, how do you like TGI Friday's?

    It's alright, but it's pricey for what it is.

    It's more like a steak house though, not really in the same crap/scummy class as Maccy's.

    I've not been to the Golden Arches for about 3 years, their food always seems to fill you up then an hour later you feel hungry again.
    I hate Burger King, their burgers are rank, i think its the sauce i don't like.

    There was a Wendy's in Lewisham in London back in the mid 80's IIRC. I remember there was a really bad fire there that destroyed the place and it never reopened and eventually became a Burger King or Wimpy. My Mum was disappointed that it never reopened as she really liked one of their burgers. I don't really remember them to be honest.

    There was one in London's West End for a while back in the late 90's. I'm not sure if it's still there though as I've not been past it in many, many years. It was in the Theatre end of Shaftsbury Avenue I think if anyone wants to check ;-)
