    At the UK Harvester Restaurant chain for a few years you’d be greeted by a life size, moving model of Jon Pertwee dressed as Worzel Gummidge and “Worzel Burgers” were a big part of the menu… with Jon as Worzel also appearing on all the menus… He truly was the Burger King 🤣

    I think the restaurant only closed because of how Pertwee became the acror of Worzel Gummidge in 1979. You can't both act and own a business, so Pertwee likely opted to close the restaurant to focus on his new role.

    I would not equate a 70s Uk 'burger joint' with the current junk food outlets infecting the planet from America.
    If you are old enough to remember, Wimpy Bars even up to the 80s provided table service, proper plates with cutlery. I do recall seeing Pertwee on chat shows talking about his love of food and considering himself a gourmet and on one occasion describing a fish dish you could prepare using a dishwasher as an oven to cook the dish.
