A couple travelled across the UK in their mini-van to visit 41 of the last remaining Little Chef restaurants before the much-loved chain ceased trading.
Megan Clark-Bagnall and Owen Lord's unusual road trip in their bright red 1986 Bedford Rascal mini-van was inspired by their childhood memories of visits to Little Chef restaurants.
When Megan, a visual artist, and Owen visited the restaurants during 2017 they spoke to staff and took photographs as mementos.

'And then one of the members of staff said 'oh no actually they have just closed 30'.
