Was that the white van which used to be in the car park?

 

If it was, they used to do a fantastic 'Chegg Burger', Beefburger with melted cheese and a greasy fried egg on top. Bloody gorgeous.

That was the one it was my favourite butty to.They used to do a MM (Martin Manterfield) special which if I remember was a Cheg Burger with tinned tomatoes on. Happy days, a night in the Daisy followed by a walk to Vera's and then a walk home getting in around 4 a.m.Also remember that if you were skint you could get a tomato dip which was a bread cake dipped in the tomato juice,cost next to nowt.
