Black forest gateau on the sweet trolly and the cheese board on another trolly. Not the miserly serving you get nowadays.

Funny that Stephen posted this as we were talking to our son about some of the things we done when we were "dating" and going for a meal was special. It tended to be Prawn cocktail, Sirloin steak and Black forest Gateua

going for a Wimpy (before we met) was also mentioned

Happy days!

What about all the flambé dishes at the table like cherries jubilee/crepe suzette and baked alaska? I’ve also had pasta cooked at the table - all “banned” when good old H&S came into being.

When I was at university my (now) wife came to see me every weekend. She worked during the week in London and got 15 shillings’ worth of luncheon vouchers every week. Once a fortnight we would go to the local steakhouse and both have exactly that meal for 15 shillings and sixpence each.
