    I had my 8th birthday in a Brown Diamond, they gave me a small pair of clogs and the cake was a shepherds pie with candles on. I'm dead now unfortunately, so those happy memories are lost to time.

    So many fond memories of driving past an McChunkys and my daughter in the back seat chirping up "Daddy, can I have a Casserole Happy Meal?" I'd almost always give in. Loved digging the toy out from the gravy.

    This takes me down memory lane. There used to be a Big C next to where I grew up! I always associate the smell of industrial-grade beef stock with Monday morning, when it was delivered. All gone now--when the firm contracted in the Nineties it was replaced with a walk-in Cobbles clinic. Then, when that went bust because no-one with Cobbles can walk, it became another branch of Synthesizer Patel Electronics, and now you have to walk right into town to the Brown Diamond for a decent casserole....I miss those days.

    During a visit to the Big C Casserole restaurant, I was surprised to find Pauline Quirk, the renowned actress, dining there. As she sat down, a waiter mistook her for a new staff trainee, leading to a series of discrepancies. Pauline played along, turning the evening into an unexpected theatrical delight for everyone present. In fact, she buried herself so deep into the character, when I returned to that restaurant around four years later, she was still serving casseroles.

    The Casserole Veranda was by far the best casserole restaurant of the lot. True there weren’t as many options or new additions to the menu but in my opinion, their casseroles were the most authentic. Plus they had respect for their customers and didn’t sacrifice on quality or change the recipe in order to cater to newer “trendier” customers.

      Don’t blame the public for changing tastes! Cassie’s - once a humble mom and pop business in Brighton which eventually became the south coast’s biggest casserole chain - managed to adapt to the times with its veggie and gluten free options. Sadly that wasn’t enough to keep the health inspector at bay and, well, I’m sure you remember how the “cholera casseroles” scandal of ‘98 ended.

    In Australia the chain casserole restaurant we went to was Cazzas. As well as the standard choices of marsupial or marine, you could always rely on the Cazza pie-floater to make you "full as a goog!" (egg)... a jumbo sized pie filled with casserole floating in a bowl of casserole. And for the people who didn't like casserole then there was a separate stew menu to choose from! Even today, I still long for the taste of Cazzas signature herring-and-kidney casserole meal deal with chips, coke, and a dessert bowl generously filled to overflowing with artificial whipped cream.
    "Hey kids whatsa wazzas? Get you and yez mates downa Cazzas!"
    (their jingle still doesn't make sense even today)

    Interesting fact: the first McChunkys in Scotland didn’t advertise “British Beef”; all of their promotional literature was identical to that available south of the border (colour-in recipe cards, “Mister Brisket” etc) but the beef was advertised as “Scottish Beef”. This became more of an issue during the Falklands war in 82, when there were mysterious “supply issues”. pPeople started to work out that it had been neither British nor Scottish beef all along - it was Argentinian! I still remember the Brown Diamond advert that took the piss out of them for that - you wouldn’t get away with that these days, of course. So un- PC!

    I worked in a Brown Diamond during the uni holidays. It was at the time when they'd lost the rights to sell Coke and had their own brand. If any customer asked for a Coke we had to reply "do you mean Brown Carbonated Replacement?" or else we wouldn't get a little diamond on our name badges. And, yes, I can confirm that if a pretty girl was at the counter we'd shout "Brown on Six" meaning pretty girl at counter number six. If she turned out to be ugly we'd say "broil that", referring to the meat broiling machines we had. Now it's all touchscreen ordering technology in the Brown Diamonds and less banter.

    Sherwin’s was a regional chain of Casserole takeaways where I lived on the border between Staffordshire and Leicestershire. By the time me and my mates started to buy them regularly (April 1979), Sherwin’s had seen better days. The Formica surfaces had lost much of their lustre, as had the acoustic booths housing the trademark public phones. I’d give anything to go back to those days.

Their signature casserole dish - and forgive me for the clumsy translation here - 'bowl of rancid meat parts and putrid vegetables squirted down pipe to tourist" continues to pack 'em in.[CORRECTION EDIT] I have since discovered that the outlets we visited were nothing more than bootleg establishments, profiting from long-gone British brands, sporting fire sale-bought signage and livery, all the while peddling far-eastern filth.

    I've been hoping O'Gravy would open a store in Tokyo but all we have is Brown Diamond and the local Let's Stew which is rubbish.

    Anybody know what the building is they used for the Big C offices?

    We all love casserole, but journalistic integrity is also important.
    Obviously this piece is biased, as the production was paid for by Crockutainment Enterprises, the parent company that owned McChunky's and Sir Stew and had a controlling stake in Big C. Infuriating that only a passing nod is given to Imhotep Casseroles-by far the most popular cass-spot in London around this time. Immy's was famous for the giant straws it provided with each casserole bucket, which were later adapted for use in bubble teas and made the company millions in licensing fees.

    O'gravys was always great except for them constantly stapling dogs to the ceiling.

    I hated Picasserole's. It was everything wrong with 80's Nouvelle Cuisine restaurants. Athena inspired artwork of hunky unshaved men cradling a newborn casserole in poncy black and white on the walls, filofax inserts with casserole recipes available at the pay-point, the constant sound of beepers only just drowning out the sound of Clannad. I'm glad they went bust. Give me a McChunky's Casserole Bap anytime.

    Sir Stew was always filthy. Dirty surfaces, the toilet smelled. It was disgusting.

    This isn’t that crazy an idea. Gyudon (beef stew on rice) is Japans most popular fast food and most of the establishments are semi automated. So if you showed this on Tokyo local TV they wouldn’t question it.
