IN YOUR GRILL

Our loaded Grillhouse Stack is what legends are made of – celebrating ingredients from some of our most popular grill plates across the decades. 


When the original Wimpy Grill was launched in the early ‘60s, diners enjoyed a pure beef hamburger, meaty frankfurter, crispy chips, and a side of pickle. The Wimpy Special Grill added a fried egg, and in 1972, the International Grill took shape.


Paying homage to those iconic dishes, today’s new Grillhouse Stack houses our hamburger, succulent Bendy, battered onion rings and a fried egg, sandwiched between cheese, lettuce and ketchup, inside a toasted brioche bun. Now that’s what we call a big grill!


Available from 1st to 30th November.

1OO% Treat

Get ready to delight in the Ghoulish Derby, our spook-tacular Halloween dessert that’s sure to be a frightful favourite!


Doughnuts have been served at Wimpy since the late ‘50s, but it wasn’t until the Chocolate Bowler launched in the early ‘60s – a winning flavour combo of ice cream and chocolate sauce - that its popularity really took off. 


This October, we’ve created a very special Ghoulish Derby dish – a mouthwatering warm doughnut, crispy on the outside and irresistibly soft inside – crowned with a swirl of soft whip ice cream. Set atop a crimson strawberry sauce that adds a ghoulishly good flavour, it is finished with two playful candy eyes and menacing gummy fangs. 


Available from 1st – 31st October

R U HOOKED?

Already famous for our pure beef hamburger, in 1961 Wimpy launched the Shanty Burger, a delicious golden fish fillet.


This month’s Limited Edition Shanty Burger really pushes the boat out – thick, flaky pollock encased in crispy breadcrumbs, covered with cheese, jalapeños, hash brown and our legendary Special Sauce – a tangy topping which took two years to develop until perfection was achieved.


So, come aboard and take your tastebuds on a voyage of flavour discovery with Wimpy!


Available from 1st to 30th September.

To the Maxi

Responding to demands for bigger flavours and bigger burgers, we added The Maxi burger to our menu in the mid-1970s. Designed for diners with bigger appetites, it was billed as “twice as much beef” and featured a quarter pound of pure beef.


Wimpy also trialled a variety of ‘dressed’ hamburgers featuring new flavour additions such as sweetcorn, pickled cucumber and button mushrooms and, for the first time, lettuce was added to the ‘build’.


For our Legends menu, we’re going even bigger than the original. The new Limited Edition Maxi features two quarterpounder patties of pure beef, served in a brioche bun, with a cheese slice, flavoursome tomato relish, lettuce and fried red onion rings served with a portion of Wimpy’s chips.


Available from 1st to 31st August.

Pop, Pop, Pop

Our Legends menus would not be complete without a selection of delicious desserts. The first to be celebrated is the Peach ‘Pop’ Whirl, a modern twist on Wimpy’s scrumptious Peach Melba dessert, which proved a popular choice with diners when it was added to the menu in the 1960s.


The new Legends version of the Peach ‘Pop’ Whirl takes those traditional flavours of soft ice cream and juicy peach slices, bringing the dish lip-smackingly up-to-date with salted caramel popcorn pieces, toffee fudge sauce and chocolate strands, topped by a cherry and a wafer.


In the 1960s, no visit to Wimpy would have been complete without diving into the dessert menu of soft whip ice cream sundaes, doughnuts, fruit pies, pastries and gateaux.


Available from 1st to 31st July.

The Original

As the first restaurant to serve hamburger-based meals in the UK, Wimpy was the nation’s original burger chain. And, as customers flocked through its doors to sample the new arrival, Wimpy soon became known as the “Home of the Hamburger”. 


The Original Wimpy Hamburger was described as ‘a square meal in a round bun’, a simple pure beef patty paired with finely chopped fried onions, served in a traditionally toasted white bun. As new trends developed, diners had the option of adding a slice of cheese and a delicious tomato relish – a dish that remains true to its roots today as it proudly takes its place on the Legends menu. 


Of course, every hamburger needs a portion of Wimpy’s chips, freshly cooked to order – no salt, no pepper, no sauce – served straight from the fryer, good-old fashioned tasty and crispy chips every time.


Available from 1st to 30th June.

Shake, Skake, Shake

Our new Limited Edition Corner House Coffee Shake pays homage to the first-ever Wimpy Bar, opened in May 1954, in the famous Lyons Coventry Street Corner House, London.

Originally called a Whippsy, our popular range of Thick Shakes will be joined for one month only by this new Legends Shake featuring delicious vanilla flavours, mixed with chocolate sauce, a shot of Lyons coffee and topped with cream and Biscoff® crumbs!

The Limited Edition Corner House Coffee Shake is available exclusively in participating Wimpy restaurants.

Available from 1st to 31st May.

Why Legends?

Since May 1954, Wimpy was coined the “Home of the Hamburger”, having been the first restaurant to serve hamburger-based meals in the UK. After seven decades of bringing tasty burger joy and thick shake happiness to the nation, we’re celebrating our 70th birthday by recreating some of our iconic early dishes, served up for 2024 with a modern twist.

From stacked out burgers and amazing shakes, to new takes on classic desserts, a new Limited Edition Legends dish will be launched each and every month — from May to December — at participating restaurants nationwide.

Join us in celebrating 70 years of great flavour at Wimpy and make some new memories when you come on over to the “Home of the Hamburger”.
