History[]
The Little Chef at Puesdown first opened in circa. 1989, as a standalone site on the A40 between Cheltenham and Oxford. The restaurant building was constructed using stone as opposed to brick, most likely to reflect the character of the surrounding Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Beauty.
In 2005, the Little Chef at Puesdown ceased trading, following the cull of 131 Little Chef restaurants by then owners, Permira, nationwide.
Following the closure of the Little Chef, the building was then converted into a house. The former car park, although now mostly landscaped, still survives to this day, as does the totem sign and a couple of minimilk lampposts.
