Astley Little Chef was located on the A580 between Manchester and Liverpool. It was opened in the 1960s, prior to 1968, and was originally housed in a small, flat roofed building. However, it was rebuilt, probably in the mid to late 80s, judging by the Little Chef building design. In the mid 90s the restaurant was joined by a Little Chef Coffee Stop which later became a Burger King before closing in the mid 2000s. Sadly, Astley Little Chef closed in Summer 2010 and the building is now occupied by an Indian restaurant called Zest.
The front of Astley Little Chef featured an an Episode of the Peter Kay show "Max and Paddy's Road to Nowhere.
As a Zest restaurant in 2013.
